What have you been doing today?

[Halex]

We just rang Nanna, seems she is starting chemo & radio therapy tuesday. So we are taking that as a positive sign, why would  you bother if you were on your last legs.

Les hope the sisters are over dramatic.

Great as dh can take her tuesday & really find out how she is.

They have changed her morphine  & other meds & they seem to be much better, she is being taken out to lunch today by her sster, so thats fantastic news.

She is really excited abut seeing dh, she asked if we could all go, we are hooing to in Jan along with my beloved TM.

 

[Frozzie]

Hally its none of my business but if you could i would go and see her.. You just never know and we didnt expect mil to pass when she did and we decided not to go for christmas as she seemed fine enough and that was her last... Saying that i dont know your situation or details obviously just i would go if she is asking..

[Halex]

Frozzie, we will definitely be going once dh as seen for himself what is going on & how she is. His brother, wife & 4 kids are going down for xmas so we will go at some stage in Jan or before if needed. The trouble is that she cant fit us all in the house so unless its really bad we will wait until hs brother & family have been as hotels are very costly, we did that last year & spent quite a few thousand.

All my part is done for the party. The boys  at tennis atm, the dh & I have to put the new tent up & turn on the heating for the spa.

I think I have too much food  . its a pizza party & there not even done yet. Hope the boys are hungry, we are now down to 10 kids which is better with team games etc.

We are having gangnam party dance off straight after soccer, then the water games, they shoud be hot by then

20 fairy bread sandwches
16 small chcken drunmsticks
24 cocktail sausages
Platter of party food, salamis, christmas ham, lollies etc, yes & sime veg sticks
Plate of brownies with lollies

I know Ames, & this is me keeping it low key & not doing much this year

[mab19]

Hally I know little boys can eat a lot so I am sure you won't have to worry about leftovers    The birthday cake looks great.

Did some housework this morning and then my vacuum cleaner blew up so that was the end of the cleaning.

Wrapped all my Christmas presents and then dragged out the chrissy tree ready for the grand children to decorate.  Then decorated the little tree I put up in my sewing room.

[Emme]

Positive thoughts for your MIL Hally.
I think you will have plenty of food for the party, although it is amazing just how much food little boys can go through. 
I bet they have a great time.
 The power has been going on and off and I am wondering whether I risk turning the oven on, I have some bread rolls to cook  very windy here

Just catching up now Hally and so sorry to hear about your mil. You and your family are in our thoughts. All the best. On a more cheerful note, wishing your son a happy birthday and hope he has a great birthday and yes you have too much food. But it's not a party unless you go overboard.

[mcmich]

Judy hope your mum has a lovely lunch with you and your daughters family and that DH's problem is sorted out.

Great job Hally, CP will have a great birthday party.

[deedub]

Hally so sorry to hear about your MIL, hope DH gets some better news. Sounds like cp will have a great party, take it easy with that shoulder!
Today the kids & I rode our bikes to the zoo, spent a few hours there then rode home again - we're all pretty tired now! I had planned to put up the Xmas tree today but no energy. Luckily the kids seem to have forgotten we were going to do it today, it can wait until tomorrow.

[mcmich]

How nice Dee, how lucky to be able to cycle to the zoo. 

[obbie]

all ready here for our party too.

[Mama Fergie]

Hope your party is lots of fun Robyn.
Your guests will have a wonderful assortment of yummy food
