Shivering

Well as you can gather from the heading it is bitterly cold here today...We had a smattering of snow early this morning but it hasn't stayed on the ground...G as per usual carried his jacket instead of wearing it <sigh> M put on his warmest cosiest jacket LOL...Me well i need a new winter jacket but just layered myself up for going out.

Before i went out i phoned my older sis and told her about mum yesterday...She gave a huge resigned kind of sigh...Mum is adament she isn't swollen up or infected like she has been twice in last year...Sis did say that me and other sis don't see what is going on so much because we're not seeing her on daily basis...Older sis lives only 3 doors along from mum so she sees her nearly every day...I can tell if she's not right when i phone as sometimes mum can hide it when seen face to face but she can't disguise her voice on phone...Did phone her this afternoon when i got back from town and she's more like her usual self (kinda)...Will just have to see how things progress i guess and being so far from them all there's not a lot i can do.

So i went into town to pay a bill and look for some contact adhesive...I paid the bill but didn't get adhesive...I wandered around a lot pricing games the boys want for christmas...Looked at 2nd hand ones but couldn't find the ones i know am going to have to find that way...On way back home i was walking past superdrug and saw they had an advert up for a digital camcorder for £49...Went in and that branch had none left...They phoned the other branch up here and they had a few left...So i trotted back to where i had just come from LOL...It's dinky, 3.1mega pixels, 4 X digital zoom, can do still or video...It's about the size of a packet of 20 cigarettes and i opted for the metallic turquoise...So much for buying some christmas pressies this week LOL...I get money from mum for christmas so that will go towards the cost...Also means i can record M's school christmas show for mum too see :o) Can give it to their carer to record G skiing etc...Can also use it when we go to see Robbie next sept :o) For half price it's not that bad...I am remebering this is thurs and M has athletics and so is he LOL...We won't forget like last week...Anyways must go as my fingers are seizing up with the cold and that's with the heating ON<sigh> I want proper snow to fall and stay at least the air will warm up a bit then...Mind you as we are going to see K this weekend then maybe not LOL........Toodle pip xx

Well, I would love a bit of snow, hopefully in time for Christmas because I would love to take some snaps of the boys out in it.  The camera sounds like a bargain.  I know a lot of school plays and things are not allowed to be filmed in any way any more.  What a world!

It`s pretty chilly down South so it must be really freezing up there in Scotland.  Brrrr!  You must get a jacket soon Caff, can`t have you getting frostbite!  That camcorder sounds a real bargain...well done for finding it!

M's school does allow parents to take pics or record stuff :o)  We always get a permission slip home to sign to say we are happy about it...As no-ones ever been told not to then i presume no parents have replied in the negative...Surprising really considering it is a special needs school
