is it a kind of dream?

Merry Christmas to my f-list.
Been a good, if fraught, day. Took 90 minutes to open the gifts, we had so many. I wrapped rinky dinky shit like socks and gloves individually - if i had realised we'd have 75+ gifts to open from everyone else like friends, aunts and my mom and MIL etc, i'd never have done it! Live and learn.
R did most of the unwrapping because i was holding B and BH was holding the camera... She *loved* it.
Loads of good loot, and even if stressed by a baby who didnt want to sleep (only sleeps in the pushchair, sigh), and who was teething like mad, it was a good day. Looking forward to tomorrow, gonna go hit the local park with BH's new camera tripod and 45L hiking backpack i got him from a charity shop for £5 :)
FIL, still miss you. Wish you were here to see the girls.
Love you all, f-list and LJ. x

should be shot. and drowned. and have his mouth taped shut. And worse.

If i have to listen to The Saviour's Day ONE MORE TIME, i might hunt him up...

GRR.

Holidays are officially over as of today. Tomorrow school and playgroup resume.

YAY!!!!!!!!!11!1

I'll feel better back in my daily routine, and I'm sure pumpkin will as well. Its not been easy round here for the holidays because nothing is as it was prior to the 22nd of Dec...

Loot. We rolled in it. Scored well from parents and stuff. Kidtough camera and lego and a Noah's Ark and arseloads of clothes, and stuff.

MIL is an idiot and doesn't understand AGE APPROPRIATE TOYS for 4 year olds.
*headdesk*
She got her a wooden dollhouse with wooden dolls and stuff. Like real collectors wooden shit costing hundreds of pounds.
AND TELLS THE KID NOT TO PLAY WITH IT, ITS NOT A TOY.

for fuck's sake.

All in all a great day with lovely food (i made the stuffing) and good times. And great TV coming in 40 minutes *squee*.

Merry Christmas folks. May 2008 be a better year for all of us.

Embrace your differences, feed the starving, help the homeless and poor. And be thankful we have what we have.

(and enjoy Doctor Who tonight.)

Love you all :)

Tuesday we had a christmas nativity play at playgroup. - i got to see pumpkin be an angel in the play, in a costume and everything. I was able to record this one with my nokia, even though i was 'in' it as well, helping keep the shepherds in place, ha ha.

Today we had 'carols round the tree' at nursery school. - i got to see pumpkin sing and dance some unbearably cute songs. We couldn't record it, natch, but there was a DVD made earlier in the week, so i will get to purchase and take one home for better half to see.

I ♥ Christmas. This is SO MUCH FUN. :)

and you know you're domesticated when:

You get excited about getting a  vacuum cleaner for Christmas. That's really sad actually...

I have a Dyson.

I have the DC03, the so-called 'lightweight' older one - its a few years old now, got it in 03. I've always had a Dyson -before that, it was the really old DC01.

I hate it. Its heavy, its hard to push, it hurts my neck. It sucks, and it works, but meh. Dyson isnt all its hyped up to be. Not after a few years of use, and not at that extortionate price, anyway.

Today, i got a little bagless Vax Astrata off ebay for next to nothing. Yay.

It sucks too.
I can push it without pain.

I am happy.

This new house is much less dirty/dusty than the old one - the old one was 15 feet from a very busy road. This one isnt. One more reason to live in a maisonette off the busy road. YES.

:D

Oh. My. God.

Merry Christmas or whateveryoucelebrate, folks.



Not sure how much I'll be on tomorrow, got a huge meal to eat, pumpkin cake and cookies to consume, my family to be with, and a lot of Campion books to read, muhahaha !  Merry Christmas ME!

And Who to watch at 7pm, natch.
