Santa has landed!!!!

My own lovely Santa in his red Ducati t'shirt has bought me a LAPTOP!!!

All the hints have worked hehehehe! Just have to figure it all out now. It is 3 times more powerful than my desk top, and has windows vista (I'm currently on XP) I've not connected it to the internet yet or transferred any files, will do when I get a chance. I also need to get a wireless connection at some point. As well as the Laptop I got a nice case to keep it in, a digital photo frame from my sis, 8 cans of guiness from my bro, a Tesco giftcard and a hamper from Mum + Dad and some bits of jewelery and chocolate :)

5 of us did a Stocking Swap, which was a fabby idea - my mate Sasha was buying for me, my stocking included a necklace and bracelet, lush bath bombs, nuts, an orange, choc coins and a choc Santa! We have already planned another swap for next year :)

Not been anywhere much, apart from my parents on Boxing day. I'm feeling much better too, finished my course of AB's but what really helped was having a break from the school run and not breathing in all that cold air. Have been painting the boys room - our main present to the children was just getting their rooms done, so have ordered a new carpet for the boys, which will be here on Tuesday, and have finished painting it today, apart from painting the mural, which is DP's job. Once that's done we can clear the other bedroom and decorate that for Kelly - she wants an entirely pink room, but I'm hoping to be able to chuck in a bit of lilac and white to break up the pinkness! Since we had the loft done, which is our room, all of us have been sleeping up there - which I don't mind, but would be nice for the kids to have their own space. Will post pics later!

no more school :)

I'm so glad school finished today! may sound strange, but my chest infection had got so bad I was struggling with the school run - on ab's now, so hopefully they will start to work soon, that and a bit of rest and hopefully I'll be better for xmas! And it is nice to have the kids at home, they have been getting tired too.

Tommorow We're off to Lotties, I'm really looking forward to that as I've not seen the other girls for a while :)

Sorry I've not been around for a bit...

My OH Dave and the kids keep hijacking the PC! Number 1 on my christmas list is a laptop.... but very unlikely to happen!

Have a lot on this time of year... Tommorow is andrews nativity, then next week is Kelly's (She's going to be Mary!) There is various Christmas parties, I go to a couple of toddler groups so there is parties for each. Then there's the Playschool party and outing to the soft play centre next week and a Carol service with the school. The other night I went out for an italian with the other mums from Toddler group - it was nice to get out as I havn't been on a proper night out since before I had Daniel nearly 2 years ago!

On top of this I now have a chest infection :( Always happens this time of year, without fail. I've not managed to make much lately... had lots of plans but so far nothing has come of them! Been buying some lovely bits and bobs lately from ebay and a recent trip into Leics... some beads and thonging, clasps and also some very lush shiny crochet cotton! When things have calmed down a bit I'm going to have a go at making some jewelery :) Will post updates later.
