Comments

Mine went to plan, well the food did
Woke up around 10am lol after not going to bed til gone 3am that morning !
Eldest was in middle of dishing out pressies @ 11.30am & front door bell goes !!!! ARGH who on earth would come round to ours xmas day ! We dont know anybody lol
So we open door and its my BROTHER !! :mad: (long story, wont go into it, but havent seen him for 3 years as I disowned him lol)
Needless to say, us 3 turned into 4 for dinner, which I finally dished out at 1.45pm and he left at 5pm ish
It left us kinda short on food as I didnt plan for 4 people, but it was weirdly a very nice 'change'
Didnt like waking up to the sides being completely covered in washing up this morning though lol
But all in all it was good, very good
Later that evening @ 7.45pm I got text from my brother to say thanks etc for the food & hospitality ! :eek: (shocked), along with him asking if he can join us today (boxing day) as he split from his girlfriend and is sleeping in his car & has nothing else to do !!
Erm spoke to my kids, who very nicely said 'mum I would rather it just be us' So I did the horrible deed of texting him this morn to say no sorry cant do....I feel so guilty ! but I couldnt allow him in our home again..Other than that, these past 2 days have been absolutely brilliant for usYay :j
