Good for you, but it is still a gift down when you thought it was sorted - very annoying for you.

True.

My brother in law's mistress just had her baby this evening.
Considering that I would have finished my nursing and would have been looking at having a baby by now, had I not been assaulted, the news was like a blow to the stomach.

My what a fun family Christmas dinner this is going to be.
Someone want to send me a nasty virus in the mail for Christmas to put me out of my misery?

Anyway, enough of my hijacking.....how is the shopping going?

My what a fun family Christmas dinner this is going to be

The first Christmas after my brother left his wife, he was still living with her and their five children(all under the age of 6 at the time) they still decided to be together at Christmas at my dad's. They didn't want to tell their kids yet what was going on...other then they noticed daddy slept on the couch. Didn't help that we also all knew that he cheated on her. We also celebrated Thanksgiving like this, except her relatives were there. What a merry family we all were!

No, we will not send a virus to you. I am sorry that you are going through all of this about the baby and nursing. My cousin has been trying to get pregnant forever, and her brother's girlfriend got "accidentally" pregnant. A good time was not had by all.

On a lighter note, my shopping is done. Waiting for three presents to show up and, once I wrap those, all presents will be wrapped. I am working on trying to finish three tree skirts I want to have done by this Christmas. Not going well and I'm trying not to get my undies in a bundle over it.

OMG. I have a huge bag of chocolate in the kitchen. It is waiting to be turned into snow covered earth squares and peppermint bark - Amethist you are a bad influence ;)

:eek: Never did a thing I am sat here keeping busy. :hilarious:

I am sat here keeping busy.

Thinking of more tempting treats - I will focus that the snow covered earth squares also contain hazelnuts and dried cranberries :angelic:. We will not speak of the crunchie bars, mini marshmallows and 600g plus of chocolate:banghead:

Dont forget the mini mince pies KP, made in the mini muffin tins you can get now.

I will be making then the Saturday before Christmas.

I so envy you all.

I dread Christmas. I love the day, the idea of it, presents, watching the kids and Christmas lunch but just the feeling I get at Christmas puts me on edge and leaves me feeling very isolated and alone.

For me there are too many sad times to mention and the memories of Christmas past seem to have spoiled it. This year will be the last with the kids. Another unhappy thought to add to the pile.

I'll still be on my diet (cambridge) which means you guys are going to have to eat for me.

Enjoy!

KP hangs head in shame and admits Tesco (other supermarkets are available;)) make good mince pies for me. I will be making Christmas Muffins though, they contain mincemeat and are yummy.

Two tree skirts finished, one left to go. Of course it is the one with the massive seam ripping in front of me(with teeny tiny stitches, my fault). But, at least, two of them are completed and I can give them this year. Only took me about 7 years to finish them. :wtf::sorry:
