Merry Christmas

Here's wishing everyone a Verry Merry Christmas to those that know us and those that don't. To those that are still with us and those that are no longer.To those that we touch and those that we don't. To those that will be with us, and to those that live to far away to be not.
We hope that you all have a really good one.......

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE KIDD'S

Done, done and done

Yea, is me steph and I hit tesco's at 5.30am this morning for the last bits. All the coffee and walnut cake orders have been delivered that I have to make for people every year. Work has now finished 4days off......YIPPPPEEEEEEEE for me...... The dogs have been walked. The shopping put away. The last of the laundry dried and ready to put away. Kids taken to the pictures to see "eragon" brill film recommend it to anyone..The housework finished.
Yipppeeee for me it's only 2.30pm I'm totally relaxed with nothing left to do except grab a coke and sit down and watch a film, cooking will be done tomorrow, so with that in mind bring Christmas on as I am now ready.......

the teeth

Not a good idea to hve to visit the dentist just before christmas, i have to have 3 big bits of work done. The first was last week of which i am only just starting to get over,having been very sensitive since, the 2nd visit was today for an hour, the last will be in the first week of January. Now i am not afraid of most things but the dentist is my one big fear, So here iam now cooking tea for everyone else as i still can't eat, gasping for a hot drink, tried it, but still not happening.
Then to top it all the bill which will be produced after the last visit for some astronomical amount of nearly £4oo. just to add insult to injury of visiting the place you most hate. Still all i have to do is get my veg for christmas and i'm all done, can't be bad even though i say so myself. Now i'm going to feel sorry for myself and watch everyone eat their tea....

Doing Well

Mum and Dad have now gone back to Potugal taking my brother with them for Christmas, with my dad being so ill it is a shame they could not stay longer , but it is nice to have the house back to ourselves again.
I have now put up the xmas decs, the tree is done, the outside of my lounge window is done, all the presents are bagged and ready to give out,all i have to do now is get myself into gear and get the christmas cards written out and either sent or delivered.
I have been making dog beds as i do every year for the dog clubs i go to, my two longingly looking at them thinking how much they would like a new one to. Sorry lads you will have to wait just a tad longer.
Stephanie goes to a school which has the title of a performing arts school, needless to say she is in the chior and also does "tone chimes" these are like bells but are chimes, so now its taxi service time with so many concerts to do, Jamie with his school business meetings and rugby matches.
Roll on next week when everything breaks up and i may just be able to have a small breather.I will also get a break from my 2nd job till new year......

Stressed

I can safely say iam pretty much stresed at the moment, it was the works christmas party on Friday night and about half an hour before i am due to leave i get a call from Andy's boss telling me he has gone into the central reservation on the m27 and writen off the company van. Thankfully he was not hurt and had done this to stop going into a small pile up infront of him.
2nd part my mum told me on the same night my dad is not doing as good as we were originally told and tests will be back on monday. To cap it all Andy and i have a funeral we have got to go to on Friday, I'm trying to hold the house together and work and keep everyone happy although tensions are starting to creep in a bit.
Needless to say can i just go and hide for a couple of hours or can everyone else just go and hide and leave me to a bit of peace........
