The Mister is out at his work's Xmas party. He's in for a shock when he comes home. I'm most of the way through painting the front room! 😁

The Vampire Diaries season 7 is now on Netflix. Happy birthday toooo meeeee!

The intolerance of some people :( I bet if the #fivepoundnote impacted Christian beliefs they wouldn't be so flippant. Beliefs are beliefs.

[Carolyn Davison @ChequeredImp]

So, the new #fivepoundnote isn't suitable for vegetarians, vegans or Hindus. Which genius didn't think that through?

The Mister is out trying to wear out a ridiculously energetic 3 year old & I'm home looking after a poorly toddler. Who got the short straw?

[Carolyn Davison @ChequeredImp]

Big'un: What's this song, Mummy?
Me: It's Oasis, baby.
Big'un: Mummy, this is rock 'n' roll.
Me: Yes it is.
My work here is done!

Can't sleep. Was worried about the Mister driving home from a gig in the storm. Now he's back & sleeping, yet I'm still awake! Stupid brain.

Big'un & I made some gift tags this afternoon (while Littl'un painted everything but). I have officially started Xmas/Newtonmas prep.

This time last year I'd written all my Xmas cards. This year, I haven't even bought them yet. Time to pull out the proverbial finger.

One of these days I'll be able to go to an SCA event without having to do any last minute sewing.

Breakfast consisted of a quarter of a dry slice of toast & some tepid water. I feel like death warmed up (only I can't get warm).

Woohoo! Just got confirmation I'm off to @sca_drachenwald's Kingdom University next weekend. Better get my indoor winter garb finished!

Littl'un is napping so I'm snuggled up on the sofa with Big'un watching Dinosaur Train. Lovely, lazy Friday afternoon.

In our old place we never had any trick or treaters. Here we've had loads already. I am absolutely loving it!

Whoever invented #daylightsavings needs bloody shooting. Nightmare day & evening with completely knackered kids. Isn't it time to stop it?

[Carolyn Davison @ChequeredImp]

Vomiting bug going around. Phoned Big'un's nursery to say we're staying home today. Only 2 kids are going in. Most are in #SelfQuarantine.

[Carolyn Davison @ChequeredImp]

Going to have a day of Hallowe'en crafts with my kiddies. Big'un wants to make green glitter spiderwebs. I'm training them well!

I need to do a urine sample for the doctor, but my 3 year old has gone & done it for me. I literally don't have a pot to pee in.

Plan: go home, give kids an early dinner, go out & pick up new car. Reality: Big'un is dead to the world, still in the buggy.

Time to dig out the Bing Crosby tunes. Happy birthday, Gramps. xxx
