Kitchen all done(except the floor, will do this when LO is in bed). Presents all found, been hiding them all over the house:rolleyes: Just working on the living room, dont know whether to clean out my birds or not, they have been nesting but not sure if they are any more? Might just leave them for the moment. :coffee: anyone? And some choccies:D

tiamai, thanks, will have a go later when not feeling quite so stressed.

rach pleased you have arrived safely.

Shopping done, how stressful!! I did remember the foil, could only get the titchy stuff so will have to just work with it. Some horrible people shop on Christmas eve, traffic a nightmare and noone lets you out. People who just shop for what is reduced, ok it's a saving but one woman was just plain rude, she was taking stuff off the shelves which wasn't reduced then shouted at this poor young assistant 'Reduce this now it's got tomorrows f*cking date on it' she was so rude I just said to the girl ' Would you like me to tell her to f*ck off because you're not allowed to?' well she chuntered something and toddled off, young girl was in stitches, she said 'Thank you' I just hate rude people

Oh and to the person who parked so close to my car I had to climb in from the other side, they got a note too!

Right, ok, calm, well I did say it didn't seem like Christmas because only me ill and not the kids, someone tell me to shut up next time. DS1 has threw up 3 times and has huge temperature!! Oh and he has the most dreadful stinking wind, urgh! Oh well it wouldn't be Christmas if at least one of the kids wasn't ill, just 'normal' here. To all those with poorlie little ones, big hugs.

Right, still got everything to do apart from the shopping.

Ooh well done Lil_me, i work in the service industry and hate people who are rude to servers/assistants etc. I've worked in restaurants/shops for nearly 10 years and have got to the stage if someone is like that to me i'm rude right back! Luckily my managers are fab and always back us up:D And people who park too close tend to find when i try and get in my car my car keys accidentally slip all the way down the side of their car:rolleyes:

Much as I loved working in retail, 'Mad-Christmas-!!!!!' always spoiled it. But you do find that other, well adjusted normal people are very friendly, so long as you are doing your job well (which I always did, so ha!). I used to just walk away from them, or when they were nasty, would give them a look that said 'Oh my gosh, I think I stepped in dog poo, oh no, it's you...', then suddenly a huge million watt smile and a 'Sure Thing, You Have A Nice Day Now, A Very Happy Christmas' in a voice that took into account that they were a little bit deaf and a little bit... under educated.

The bird is cooking away nicely, chucked in some baby carrots, white wine, butter, olive oil, half a lemon and some garlic. Smells wonderful.
