Check In and Chat - December 2014

Oh I love Xmas ! Yes, it's too commercial but it's still a precious family time.

I go and watch our kids in all the plays etc, they never once got any speaking parts, they were extras at best, they didn't even sing when they were supposed to, I once had an angry bird incident, I was very bored and decided to play angry birds on my phone, it happened to be at a quiet moment when the angry birds theme blasted out across the hall and all the cooing parents/grandparents looked at me like they were going to murder me on the way out, my kids obviously inherited my love for theatre

Have fun! 

And remember the mute button if you get bored

Drum roll please .........

Here is the shepherd - I'm told the sheep behaved themselves

All the best Jan (AKA one proud Grandma)

                       

Awwww. He's gorgeous! I want one!

Great pic Jan, you must be very proud. What would we do without the old trusty tea towel eh ? The backbone of all great shepherd costumes :-)

Many thanks Mo ... I am very proud.
The laugh was when his mum and dad got the tea towel out for his headgear he made the comment 'that's a bit cheap isn't it?'. Had to be explained that shepherds back in those times (any time?) were not rich.

Ever since I can remember the tea towel has been official headgear for school plays.

@Zand yes he is gorgeous, and I hug him, and all my grandchildren at every opportunity

All the best Jan

We have resisted the need to put up Christmas trees etc - but tomorrow is the day!

The tree, Father Christmas ornament complete with reindeer etc ..... comes out of their respective boxes  

Can't Wait !!

Have you got your decorations up yet - has Andy decorated his shed??

Post your pics if you have any .........

All the best Jan

My littlen has made loads a paper chains and snowflakes from plain white paper this year, she's spent hours and hours doing it, it's really nice

Our tree is up and even the geko tank has teeny baubles in its tree lol

The shed is decoration free though  it's too perfect for sticky tape lol

Had my tree up for a week now. Will try to get a pic tomorrow !

I just hope you haven't marked out a spot for an indoor rower just yet !

No way!

What are the l/w/h dimensions out of interest? Just out of interest

Lol ! I'm not spoon feeding you ! Google them !

would it be considered rude to make some space? or just pessimistic

By all means start preparing for my demise and clear a space for my trusty mistress !

@Andy12345 Surely there should be 2 sides to this 'deal'.  What does Mo get if you happen to be the one popping your clogs?

Mrs Andy perhaps?

Omg he can have her if I don't die! It would be fairer to promise my new running machine

How many rooms in your house Mo? I've got another idea 

Please send pic of your Mrs before this can progress further :-)

Oh boy, guys.  I can see this one ending in tears for at least one of you!

My favourite TV show these days is Tattoos After Dark

Oddly I don't have any tattoos and don't have plans to get any, but I love watching what they do.  They are very talented artists.  I never miss it.

There are some proper cranks on that show  did you see the black woman who wanted a tattoo of the baby on her belly, seriously nuts

Was she the pregnant woman they refused to work on?  This is one of my favourites.  So random and joyful  

Yes lol I love the show, I am into tattoos
