Christmas ordered :-)



Last night me and Mr Messy took time out from "I'm a Celebrity" to get internet shopping and I think we have just about caught up on the two weeks I've missed with my poorly toes! I'm not sure my friend Post Lady (she really is the village Post Lady!) will be speaking to me after she's delivered it all!! Sorry Post Lady, big hugs :-) But it feels so FANTASTIC to be almost there with the shopping - just got to get caught up with all the wrapping now!! I don't want to hear any comments Baby Bro and Baby Sis!! And that means you too LMS!!!!

Little Prince is going to be better (and back in school) next week if he likes it or not!! So I'm going to have to get organised (I can hear you all laughing!!! Stop it!!!) and blitz the wrapping too. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it...fingers crossed anyway! I think you'd all better wish me luck lol

I rang Little Prince's school this morning, and got the names of all the children in his class, so this weekend me and him are going to get on with card writing too! I've probably already missed the overseas posting dates (as usual!!) but I'll send them anyway!!

I've still got to do the food shopping, but I'll get that delivered sometime next week I think. We've got an American friend of LMS's staying for two weeks over Christmas and Fraulein is coming back for a few days too (YEAH we've really missed you Fraulein). So I'll have to work out what traditional English grub to serve - well alright I'll get Mr Messy to tell me what he is cooking and then go and buy the stuff lol. I really appreciate Mr Messy at Christmas time, as in our 20 years of being married (and we lived together for a couple of years before that too) I've NEVER cooked a Christmas Dinner :-) And he is a GREAT cook too :-) Isn't he WONDERFUL :-)

Hope your pal forgives you.

Hi S,
You sound SO organised on your blog!! I'm so jealous :-) And online is THE way to go - sat on the sofa, nice and warm and ordering Christmas :-) You are going to have such a fantastic time this year with your little princess, make sure you take loads of photos, I can't wait to see them :-)
I'm sure Post Lady will still be speaking to me, well I think she will lol.
