    Default WEEKEND PLANS

    So what are we all up to this weekend?

    Christmas shopping?

    Decorations going up?

    Paperwork?

    Chilling out?

    I'm doing a bit of all of those

    Have a great weekend whatever you're doing

    After a week of other people's children, I have a weekend of......... er............... other people's children.

    Yes, the ultimate grinch is back on the Santa circuit again this year.................. thousands (it seems) of the little chaps all fibbing that they've been good all year, and demanding gifts of electronic hardware that their parents can't afford, and that I could neither operate nor so much as identify. (What is a DS? And what is it's appeal to a child who can't even spell DS? First time I heard it, I thought the little chap wanted a baby sister. )

    Just a tip to all the other males: never, ever, play Santa. And if you do, then don't ever let anyone know that you do it. Everybody wants you for their group/party/church/pub/etc. and they all take offence if you refuse: as in "look, I'm not the real Santa, so when I say I'm already booked, don't believe I can be omnipresent like the guy who's down every bl00dy chimney in the world on the stroke of midnight. Comprendez?"

    Oh, and Fussy, check your Manchester arrival time. I've been warned there's some problem at ATC which might mess up your brother's flight (as well as my sleigh-flying schedule. )

    Get well soon Wibble

    Bunyip I think I've been asked by every play group I go to, to be Santa. I'm going to start charging appearance fees at this rate!

    Fussy, hope your hectic weekend goes well.

    I've just fought my way through Bath town centre with a stroppy 3 year old. Friends coming over later for 'Christmas' dinner so just travelling back home on the bus to find my chef's hat!

    well, I got up very early for a 0900 appoinmtment with an eco-insulation surveyor only to remember at 0930 we changed the appointment to 21st. No matter gave me a chance to get on with my reading for uni next week - the development of childrne's understanding of measurement and data handling - 3 hours later I'm more confused than I was when I started

    Took DD to her karate grading and she passed but is upset with me an doesn't know why. Now off to run some errands in the village up the road.

    Later must sort out my PDP file for uni.


    not very exciting is it......

    Went shopping in Bromley with my daughter this afternoon. Not a very productive trip but it was nice to see the lights and stalls and get the festive feeling going. Came back and did the rest of the shopping on line. Writing my cards this evening then tomorrow I really must tidy up. I have so many craft bits i piles on every surface in my kitchen, that the mindees are in the middle of completing but it's beginning to annoy me know.

    I have been to Worthing to be an Elf! for a world record number of elves - there were over 1100 of us, arranged and met a couple of Worthing CMs there.

    Walked along the prom and picked up some geocaches which always makes me happy

    tomorrow - tidying, christmas decs up, cards to write and ironing. Oh well, back to reality
    Happy to be back with the Greenies

    We have had norovirus or something similarly nasty sweep through the house is weekend. On Friday morning dh had it, followed by ds and dd2 on Friday evening, me in the early hours of Saturday morning and dd3 on Saturday afternoon. This is a week after my little mindee vomited all over me and was sent home. Clearly I didn't bleach everything well enough, or perhaps we caught it elsewhere.

    We have spent much of the day in bed and I'm still exhausted, so tomorrow I have to cram my entire weekend into a single day. Collecting preordered Christmas presents from town, food shopping, taking a hat back to tesco, starting my Christmas shopping for our children (!) cleaning the house ready for Monday and finishing painting the hall.
    Apologies for the random full stops. Phone buttons too small, thumbs too big.
