    I have a stonker of a headache so am not happy, can't bear any noise.

    All of upstairs now hoovered, DS1 bringing the hoover down and then I'll nip it round down here. Really need to do the toilets/sinks after that and then will update the list and call it a day for flying.

    After hoovering kids rooms I am mighty concerned where they are going to put their pressies - I feel a big flylady sort out/ebay session very soon after christmas.

    You guys are all just the best! I've spent the afternoon blitzing both of the children's bedrooms. There is so much rubbish and charity stuff it's untrue.

    Slight mishap in that i've forgotten to buy a birthday present for my friends little girl who was born on Christmas day! Will have to get something tomorrow as we go round there on christmas day night. I have half a present so just need something little to go with it.

    DH has made Cottage Pie for this evening, children are in the bath, we're going to make a few chocolates for the neighbours after tea and then my feet are up on the sofa, i'm opening a glass of wine and i'm chilling out.

    Oh and thanks Pigpen....you've reminded me to buy guinea pig food in the morning. Apparently they don't eat turkey dinner!?!?!

    Happy travelling Rach, have a great christmas xx

    Pigpen - you're getting kittens for Christmas! I think my daughter wants you as a mum.

    Does anyone know the name of the games you play on tv where there is a camera, and you dance, and you activate the controls buy waving your hand to hit the target on screen. A bit like a very primative Wii? Might be called 'i' something? It takes your photo and video and puts it on screen?

    Am I going mad?

    Yes 2 kittens if I can manage it!! rom us not from Santa.. Tinsel for one and either Sleigher, Angel or Comet for the other.. depends what they lok like! We already have 2 big beasts so it isn't like they won't be cared for!

    We have the eye-toy for PS2 which does that.. is that what you are thinking of maybe?

    Pigpen if you are looking for kittens have you tried the free ads papers like www.adtrader.co.uk or maybe the local CPL, might be a bit late for them however as most insist on homechecks etc.


    I was thinking eye toy aswell.
