Eeks less than a week to go and who's so not ready

It was the Christmas service at their local church for Ms school on monday...He allowed me to go along for the first time ever LOL...He was playing the drums accompanying the music teacher for all but one of the christmas carols/songs...The one he didn't play on was the one his music group did...One of the other lads played drums on it and M was singing...He had a solo in the middle...There was a traditional nativity play included and that was done by the little ones...His school like many SEN schools in Scotland is from 5-19...Half way through they stopped so that people could take photographs of the little ones if they wished to...Before they went back to sit down as they were becoming restless...One wee lad was even dressed as the donkey :o) M also did a reading as did many of the older ones in his class...All the kids were fantastic :o) ...The minister in his sermon reminded everyone to not forget the most important thing during all the hustle abd bustle of Christmas and that is that it is to celebrate the birth of Jesus...After the service we went back to the school for tea/coffee and biscuits and for the raffle...G won a tealight holder and M won a kiddies magnadoodle thing...Which he declined to accept but i took it LOL...It will do nicely for my best pals little ones...One of the staff making the draw won a voucher for a hairdressers which included a massage...She put it back into the draw...Then said afterwards she should have just given it to me as it is the hairdresser i use ROFL...Ce la vie...My ex mother in law can get the tealight holder LOL

           

I have felt so sick since sunday...Not been physically sick but keep feeling like am about to throw up and then get abdominal aches...Don't know if it's a reaction to the medication or not...I refuse to look it up as i can put up with it and it could settle...Or is sickness feeling a menopausal symptom???? I dunno and well Stuart won't know ROFL so he needn't answer...I feel worse when i eat but i will get over it...Just it's set me back again with getting ready for Christmas...I have spent today gutting my living room and getting some decorations up...Tomorrow i need to gut Ms bedroom, then glass paint in the evening...Am just going to do mums, both my sisters and my 2 nieces for now...My two friends i am doing things for can wait until after Christmas...One is away in germany over Christmas anyway...My nieces friend who also auditioned for BGT hasn't heard from them at all...Which could be a good sign for M and a bad sign for her...Or she may have just got through regardless...Mind you as she was also singing then they'd need to get clearance for her...His music teacher is very hopefull as getting clearance for copywrite isn't cheap...She is also trying to see if she can find somewhere to get backing tracks and will phone me at home to let me know

               

I made cards and posted them out...Am sorry but i haven't sent any to some i sent to last year...I lost the addresses and no-one responded back for me to send in time...I bought a couple of strings of tiny fake tree lights for doing cards with...But they were too far spaced apart for my idea i had...Which was to have a tree shape cut out of the centre with the 'lights' strung across...So am using them as strings to peg our cards to instead...At least they're not wasted LOL...I have presents for taxi escorts and drivers to wrap tonight...Usually they get turkish delight but although i bought all the ingredients i didn't get any made...It takes forever to make it and you have to make a seperate batch for each flavour...As the flavouring and colouring is put in during the making process...So i can't make then divvy up and flavour...The weekend will be a nightmare...On sat we go to collect K...Forth road bridge has roadworks on it EVERY WEEKEND with delays of up to 90 mins <sigh> ...On the way back we will literally stop, hand over pressies, get pressies back and drive off home from their grans...I want home before tea time...On sunday we go up to mums and my 2 sisters...On Christmas eve M is in respite playscheme...So i'll drop him off and go to Sainsburys on way home...Then i need to go to Asda...Or i may go to the 24 hour Asda on sunday night LATE...I do have the chicken in the freezer and some chocolate logs...Erm that's it...Need roast tatties (i cheat and buy frozen), profiteroles, mini eclairs, veggies and erm everything else...Oh and possibly a new telly LOL...Right gonna go and finish clearing up and make last 8 cards...Then i can actually get my craft stuff put back where it belongs...And get the tree out and up tomorrow

Sorry to hear you are feeling less than good, I do not know what medication you are on so I cannot comment.  You are certainly going to be very busy, glad we got all ours done.  You are lucky to still have nativity plays, they are not allowed around here, they have singing concerts but carols are not included.  It is all stuff like "when Santa got stuck up the chimney" and "jingle bells".
