Kids asleep, Paddy in some sort of drunken stupor playing pool with himself, I am sat here scouring the sale sites. Heh.

Ha ha. I'd be locked up for murder if he pulled anymore household appliances as gifts for me! Books, CDs, a new TV for my sewing/scrapbooking room lots of random things the kids decided I would like! Good stuff. No shoes, but he has given me free reign and his bank card for Next tomorrow...

A blue veined brie - Cambolzola or something. Given up cheese for the sake of the baby and am missing it lots right now :(

The arsenic I needed to lace all the in laws food with. Was dearly regretting that mistake by about 10am today.

A pair of shoes and I have left so many darn hints, including changing the homepage on here to the online shopping page for said shoes, that if they do not appear under my tree Paddy and his guests will be fending for themselves tomorrow. I don't ask for much but having birthed his baby and...

Chad now! This is exciting!

We are going, go every year. They added our daughter to the Prayer List for the service so I really feel we have to go this year. Half past eleven service here. It's always a nice service, The Mass of the Nativity

They're two, they're four, they're six, they're eight, Shunting trucks and hauling freight Red and green and brown and blue They're the really useful crew. Oy.

Good.

At home mostly. We've been to church and are going up to the grave in a bit to bring Anastasia her balloons and toys, the children want to go in the dark so we can see the stars when we do. After that we'll go to carols and Mass. We'll have dinner before we go, it's tradition in our house...

I think we'll be going to Guinness here as well, Fran wants to leave orange juice and raisins! Doug - You and me both, my stocking is there hanging on the mantel and as if by magic tomorrow it will be full of gifts!

Highs - Romilly being born, my other two children growing into such remarkable people, our house finally starting to look like a house rather than a construction site. Low - Cancer and losing Anastasia. That's really it.

Cal is beside himself with excitement, it's so funny. He is putting a lot of thought into what is the best snack and drink to leave out for Father Christmas. I think this is the last year he will truly believe so I'm trying to make it extra special for him. Fran is a little more subdued, she is...

I wish I had chance to drink over the limit. Am nursing so a big fat no from me. Not that I would drink and drive. Take a taxi people, it's just not worth it.

We used to use Loyalty Points at Leeds but it was an absolute nightmare for the ticket office and has now been scrapped. It also means you cannot apply with friends and might end up in totally different areas of the ground and things.

How exciting! My son will spend all day checking back on there.

Good.

Absolutely Hiney. I read and reread the piece you wrote frequently. We keep it in a box with a few other things people wrote and readings from the funeral. This forum was a wonderful support to us, my whole family. Not just immediately afterwards but in the time since as well. And thank you...

I never did hire anyone this year. I gave myself the mother of all backaches by wrapping while wearing my 14 pound daughter round my neck. Which was lovely. Boxes, WW! Like I told you last year....
