    hello!!

    My birthday was bearable thank you.. I did survive.. though I am still baffled by the doughnut maker my mother got me.. I am going to ask if we can take it back and swap it for a steamer which I will use!! The bracelet hubby got me has to go back I have an allergic reaction to it even though it is hallmarked silver and have a nasty itchy rash round my wrist. I have a couple of pairs of trainers I ordered for DS1 to try to go back and some other bits too.

    Best go get a shower as I have to go play PA to my mtoher gaain today and she said in an hour about an hour ago and I am still in my pj's.

    Oh.. barbie perfume.. it has set my nose off streaming and my eyes watering and itching.. I'm not sure if it is the sheer amount my 7 and 5 year olds have squirted everywhere or if it is just the smell itself.. the 3 little ones smell like old ladies!!

    I need to take DD1 for new bras as her boobs have doubled in size overnight I'm sure!

    Hahaha pigpen you have my sympathy re: the Barbie perfume, littley got some a few years ago and it did smell like old ladies :D palma violets or some such horrid smell.

    I'm going to gloat now :p House is absolutely (nearly) perfect :A littleys cabin bed is now up so she's storing all her new pressies into it and there's a hidden space behind it for more junk :j everything has been swept/damp wiped/put away/dryer on/tea ready for tonight/lots of stuff done, it doesn't look like the same house from yesterday what a bin it was, there was stuff everywhere :eek: . So that's me for today, got to go to Asda cashpoint but before that need to prise littley away from her 'new room' as she calls it and get her dressed.

    House is far from perfect, but is better than it was. One half of the kitchen is in order, the other side is full of christmas presents that are homeless. I need to go to poundies and get some nice storage boxes for the shelf behind the telly, and put all the remotes, games, controllers and what not in them.

    Hubby back at work today, working till 9pm, and tommorrow he is working 1pm till 1.05am! But then off till next Thursday! So, have two days to catch up and get house neat and tidy.

    I'm bored.

    Late lunch here too Tia - toasted cheese sarnieand my house is a complete tip in every room.

    Had a good time at Brent Cross with hubbie - we never shop together, neither of us like shopping but it went fine. I got a reduced jumper from phase Eight - half price with the cash Gran gave me and a pair of half price boots to keep my feet warm at kids football.

    OH gots 2 pairs of jeans and 6 shirts all in the sale for work so he is pleased.

    Got the desk from IKEA for DS1 room. OH going to put it together whilst I pop to JL to see if they have the duvet cover I wanted that is in the sale but they did not have at brent cross.

    Then I will tidy

    Finishing off some mushroom pate with ryvita for my lunch! whilst turning up a pair of trousers ready for going out New Years Eve.

    Hmm other than that I need to sew a trouser button back onto another pair of trousers (and no it wasn't eating too much over Yule that did it :rotfl:) - then I want to finish off some stitching for someone else so I can send it out on January 2nd
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D
