Maybe & Muddles thanks for the advice re phonics! I've ordered The Phonics Handbook by the Jolly Phonics people so I can get myself up to speed 
Maybe I hope you're okay! You know we don't mind rants
Emera I hope you're enjoying your mat leave and feeling festive
Amy yay for finishing work! When do you go back?
Oliver and I have had a nice day, the weather was foul so we stayed in and played and made peppermint creams
I have so much to go when Oliver goes to bed - yet more pressies to wrap, and lots of tidying up too. Steve is at work but he finishes at about 11 and then that's it for four days He's got to go shopping with his son tomorrow - he phoned Steve yesterday and said he hadn't got his mum or his nana anything and had no money 
I think Oliver and I might give it a miss though - shopping on Christmas eve sounds like hell to me

Do not go out there, it was awful in town today! I did make things alot harder for myself though as i went to buy the computer game OH wants (which amazon failed to deliver even though i ordered it at the end of november! 
) anyway the shop had the games stickered at the wrong price, and no other pricing information in the store. I ended up having a full on Christmas stress hormonal hissy fit in the shop 
, as they refused to honour their advertised price (they were trying to charge me £40 when it said £30 on the box, bear in mind it was £24 from amazon, so WTF £40?!?) anyway, i went a bit nuts 
That sort of thing really annoys me though, and i'm pretty sure they have a legal obligation to honour the lower price advertised. The spotty teenaged git kept telling me it was human error so they didn't have to honour it. He also refused to get his manager, what the heck?! I took his name and the head office address and threw the dvd box at him and stormed out of the shop shouting about being ripped off 
Hormones and last minute shopping are clearly a bad mix! Anyway, was a silly thing to do because none of the other stores in that bit of town (closer to me) had the bloody game in stock, so i ended up wasting 1 hour looking, and then another 30 minutes going all the way to the other end of town to another branch of the first store to buy the game for £40 anyway, as it was the only place stocking it, and i was too embarrassed to go back to the first store! 
What a muppet!
Ah well, job done anyway, and there is a lovely mlkshake place at the far end of town, so Roh and I had a fancy milkshake and i had a freshly made doughnut to calm me down
Just running up some cushion covers this evening as OH told me on the phone about 30 mins ago that he hasn't bought his mum anything He's working all day tomorrow and no WAY am i going out again, so i'm spending an hour or so saving his arse!

OMG I have sooooooo much to do amd Oliver won't go to sleep! I'm tying not to stress out but its not really working. Argh!!!!!!!!!!!
Emera I would be SO annoyed at that shop!!! Keep you receipt and when the amazon one arrives take the amazon one back to the shop and get your forty quid back
Modo you're so organised - I still have stuff to wrap. Annoyingly is all for Steve's family I'm sure he'd do them - but he'll leave it until tomorrow night when there are a million other things to do.
I'll be back later, hopefully less stressed

Maybe wow lucky lady! Great pressies! Steve got me a new stereo for my car (just need to get my car back now ) and a video camera
I hope everyone is having a nice relaxing post christmas week! I have weddings tomorrow and Friday so I'm busy prepping for them, and trying to get the house into some kind of order again We need a bigger house, I'm sure it would be easier to keep tidy
Is anyone else itching to take the Christmas decs down? I've taken down most of the cards but I'm thinking about packing away everything except the tree and a couple of little things. I love Christmas but I really love the after Christmas / New Year bit too - I always feel all inspired and full of new ideas and things for the new year. I have things I'm determind to do this year with the business and things, I always feel really positive and excited in January. And I want to feel organised, so I need a tidy house

Hi everyone
Well we've had a lovely Christmas so far, i have my MIL arriving in an hour or so (she was meant to be here at 11am, typical for her) I didn't get much this year, which is fine. I got 3 scarves, again....what is it with everyone thinking i want scarves all the time?!?! They are very nice though, so i'm not ungrateful, i just have a MASSIVE scarf collection OH got me a load of dvds that he wants to watch (pretty standard I asked for amazon vouchers, but noooo ) and my mum got me a wallet, fab! Its exactly what i asked for and needed
Sarah, i'm with you on wanting to take the decorations down already! The house is chaos at the moment, Roh has about a million toys now, and we've bought some great storage from the Ikea sale yesterday but can't put it up until the tree is down. Our bedroom is overflowing with stuff we moved to make hosting Christmas easier, and i need to sort it out to fit the baby stuff in. Now my brother has decided that the best day to drop off all the baby stuff is tomorrow, which doesn't give me any time to sort stuff, so the house is going to be full to the roof! Ahh well at least i can sort everyday whilst Roh naps and after he's in bed, and it will all get done in the end...
Right, i'm going to grab a nap before MIL arrives!
All round!

Emera we really need to buy some more storage for Oliver's room, I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to go to Ikea
I hope you have fun with your MIL, and that you get organised okay! I've packed some Christmas stuff away now. There is loads of stuff to go into the loft so it will be better when that it all packed away. Oliver and I have having a PJ day today and playing with his toys
