Cold

Well i was right about the sore throat today i have a stinking cold i hate colds with a passion i have to get rid of it quick because if Ashleys baby decides to come in the next couple of days that means i cant go and be with her when baby is born and i so want to be there, i have been taking Day Nurse and Night Nurse and garggling with Sandersons throat pacific its vile that stuff but i am using it to get rid of it quick, and i am now wrapped up on the couch,
My mothers boiler has burst but Andrew has been out to it and fixed it so thank goodness for that shes now got heat and hot water,

A phone call


This afternoon i recieved a phone call from my cousin it was completely out of the blue we were chatting for almost and hour, we caught up on almost twenty odd years of news because thats how long i have chatted to her, we saw one another about seven years ago at her dads (my dads oldest brother) funeral which was awfully sad because that meant another brother was gone, we didnt chat then really for obvious reasons, i sent her my email and telephone number in a christmas card not even thinking that she would contact me, i have just emailed her back with some pics of the kids, she has one daughter and one granddaughter which is nice to hear, her daughter is a year younger than David so that makes her around 28 i think or coming up for 28, my mother came for dinner tonight she stayed till around six then went home she makes me laugh because she tries to monopolize our telly and i wont let her LoL, Ashley Stuart and Lewis called off this afternoon too so that was nice they didnt stay long as they were going to Alans for a couple of hours, i got a pic of her struggling to put her boots on its a shame shes getting really fed up and is just wanting this baby to be born now, hopefully now it wont be too long, and thats my sunday.

Christmas day 2008





































































































































































Had a good day today although very noisy and very busy and i ended up totally exhausted by eight o clock this evenng, everyone enjoyed themselves the little ones loved their bikes they were thrilled, the older kids also loved their gifts also,I burned the turkey i am sad to say i also burned the sausage and the stuffing, the stuffing i could re-make which i did but the sausage i threw away the turkey well we managed to salvage some of it just enough for lunch so that was good, oh and i forgot to get the ham out last night so its still in the freezer Oh well ...... i got the most gorgeous of lamps and i only saw it in Fazackerleys about three weeks ago i was in the car and said to Ashley what a gorgeous lamp i love it well she must of told Rodney because he bought it for me and i had no idea at all, kids also bought me perfume which i was thrilled about dvds and my favourtie books Harry Potter, Fern, and Patricia Cornwells latest book love it :) we took some pics of today so i will put them up in a minute, also Rodney wasnt going to be home for lunch.... in 33 years we have never had Christmas apart so i was gutted, around 1.30pm he walked in the kitchen just before i was dishing out lunch i almost threw myself at him you would have thought i hadnt seen him in a year but i was absolutely thrilled that he managed to get home for lunch even though he got called out again at five anyway hes back now and snoring his head off well it is 2.38pm,Hope everyone had a very Happy Christmas andi hope they get everything they dream of in 2009.

Christmas Eve 2008







Today is Christmas eve i have been so busy today went to the church yard to visit dads grave with my mother i laid a lovely wreath there, when we got back to the car i said we will just nip to the petrol station up the road okay she replied now i have to say i do have trouble getting the damn petrol cap off this car its so darn hard thing is dh can do it so can the kids my friend Linda did it the last time i filled up so why the heck cant i do it? so mum tried and she couldnt do it this was while we were parked in the school yard so i asked a bloke who was with his wife who had also been laying flowers anyway he struggled but managed it so with it loose we drove off to get the petrol i filled the tank to the top and more it came running down the car anyway cut a long story short i had to ask another bloke to fasten it back in next car i get it WILL NOT have a petrol cap like this one, So we are on our way back to mothers and she knew how busy i am today and she says to me lets go to the park for a walk ARRRRGGHHHH what a woman ..........i cant believe after her hearing me chat on the way down telling her everything i have to do today she wants me to walk in the park,
So i get home make some coffee and Ashley and Lewis call off they were here almost all afternoon so nothing got done i ended up virtually shoving them out saying i have so much to do y0u will have to go home i am sure she does it to wind me up LoL
So for the last five hours i have been more or less meeting myself coming back ....now all the presents are wrapped and under the tree the stockings are hung the turkey is in the oven ready to be switched on the veg is peeled i am showered and hair washed the house has been vacuumed and i am sat on the couch now watching my favourite show CSI, dh is also on call all over Christmas he tells me tonight when he comes home from work that he has to be out at 9am in the morning and probably will not be home for lunch i am gutted it will be the first time in 33 years that we havent had christmas lunch together hes worked the last four years on call at Christmas time but always managed to get home for lunch :(
