Our tally

of great grand children has now gone up to 11 the youngest was born just after 12am this morning, a little boy, no idea of weight etc.......have just received pictures. I need to get a move on and get his quilt bound.

He was due to be born by C section tomorrow, but arrived naturally just a few days early. He is to be called Emillio Nicholas, quite a mouthful, have no doubts his name will be shortened.

DB managed to fall again when I got back from the post office, stupid man came out in his slippers, he did not get any sympathy, afraid its run out....... I managed to get a Christmas cactus from Lidl for our over the road neighbour for Christmas, so will take it over to her later.

Sunny but cold morning, load of laundry in the dryer another in the machine. I am running out of knickers!!

Supper tonight egg and chips.

Rain

when I went through to get breakfast, it cleared up later. Forecast is for snow at the end of the week!! Could do without that.

Breakfast in bed, first time for a couple of weeks. Have prepped the veggies etc for tonights supper, lunch will be light, Yoguart and milk for DB, apple and something for me........

Tomorrow is bed change and cleaner day, I am looking at moving the furniture round. Have been looking at sofa beds.........but it will have to wait until the spring when I might have built up the savings pot a bit, its looking ruefully empty just now.

Back bedroom looks like a bomb hit it, I must start tomorrow and clear it out and tidy up. There is so much stuff laying about. The ironing machine is driving me daft, have had it on for sale, nothing doing there. Also have the small sewing machine to sell as well, need to unpack it and make sure everything is with it and sort that out. Will advertize it, if it does not go, will get Woodseats to advertize it for me. It will cost me but so be it. I have had an idea about the stuff left over from the sale. We have the over 60's Christmas lunch, I am going to hand out the tree decorations, one on each place and ask for an extra donation into the pot we use for the lunch. The chapel is run as a charity so they do not charge, but ask for donations, hopefully some will put extra in for the decs.........we will see. I am also going to give some out at the coffee morning.

I need to look for a Christmas cactus, my neighbour across the road saw ours, it is not big enough to take cuttings off, so I will see if I can get her one.

So roast chicken for supper with veggies, There is a choice for pudding if DB wants one.

I do need to sort out the quilt binding once the room is sorted, I have a feeling that quite a bit of stuff is going to go out either to the bin or our local charity shop.

Sorry

I did not post yesterday, not sure why. However, better late then never, here is today's.

Early this morning DB woke me shouting, he sometimes has nightmares, last night was one. He went back to sleep me ? forget it. I managed 4 1/2 hours.

Bed changed, cleaner here, usual good job. I have found the missing Santa etc for the window. I had shoved then in between a large piece of wadding. The window will be done on 15th, before the schools close for the holiday.

Supper tonight, corned beef, salad and jacket potato. There is a banana to finish for dessert.

DGD went today for her bloods to be done, C section on Wednesday. I think they are trying to get her as close as they can to her due date which is 7th December.
