    Sounds fab

    Mine was pretty great. DD1 was at her dad's overnight so I slept in while DP got up with DD2 (at 5:30ish). Got up and got ready to go pick up DD1 who had made me a card. We then went to my parents where my dad and DP cooked us (my mum and me) breaky on the BBQ. Spent the morning hanging out with them. DP then took DD1 and DD2 to the park on his own (many 'are you sure?'s from me haha) so I had a nice long shower ALONE then just enjoyed some quiet time before they got back. DP and DD1 then made scones (my favourite) with lots of whipped cream and strawberry jam!

    I was another that had a great day.

    Got a sleep in until about 8.30am, when DD popped int o see if I was awake so she could me my presents.
    Got a couple a bought presents and some homemade ones from Kinder & Creche from DD plus a lovely card with a personal message in it from DD.
    DH then cooked us all breakfast - full cooked breakfast of bacon, eggs, tomato, mushrooms, hashbrown and toast - yum!
    We all then went out for lunch with my mum, sister & her DH, my brother and his fiance and my grandmother then went back to my mums for coffee and cake. After being so full of food, I crashed on the couch for a nana nap and have just hopped on to the PC.
    DH is taking care of dinner and I'll have a shower soon and put my pjs on

    My Dh has forgotten. I guess I can't blame him as he has been in Scotland for his Dad's funeral until late Friday night and he's exhausted poor thing. I'm not mad at him and I haven't said anything cause I know he'll feel awful and I don't want to make him feel bad but I kinda feel like I wanna cry a little, especially hearing about my friends days on fb etc.

    Mine was better this year compared to last year's debacle!

    I got to sleep in (after dd1 woke dd2 and made her cry) then dd1 made me pancakes for breakfast in bed. I got cards and a bookmark from dd2 and a pipe cleaner necklace that dd1 made. The girls also gave me new winter pj's and a funky shower cap, both of which I needed!

    Then we drove to ballarat and had lunch with my mum and then went out to see all the activities for heritage week ther which was fun. So a nice day (if I ignore the girls fighting, dd2 spilling her dinner all over the floor and dd1 waking dd2 at 5:30am )

    Oh Glenny. I'm so sorry your day was crappy-ful. At least hubby was home and not still in Scotland, I guess (trying to see the positives). Though I'm sure that's not really too much comfort. I hope you had some special moments with your little miss anyway.

    I loved MD this year - DP and i went and stayed at MIL's on Saturday night, we left the kids there & went out for dinner and then had a bit of a play on the pokies (won back what we payed for dinner & what we put in over a couple of hours).
    The girls came in and snuggled with us in the morning then DP finally got the hint to take them downstairs and let me rest, so i went back to sleep for about another hour
    Went downstairs and got 2 very funny cards and a box of lindt choc's, gave MIL her stuff from the girls and then DP told me my present this year is a weekend away for the 2 of us, my choice of destination (will also be his FD present) and that SIL will take the kids for the w/end.
    He cooked MIL & I breakfast, we went to see his nan then came back to MIL's and had KFC for lunch (back into the diet now) then all just relaxed in the lounge for the arvo, came home, cuddled DD1 on the couch then an early night.
    It was simple and i loved every minute of it... even DP having a 2hr nap on the couch while MIL and i really wanted to
