LMAO at you being seedy Clare! I am hanging out till Dec 1 when I go shopping with Mum and then I am going to hit Myer for decorations this year, they have gorgeous ones.
Marydean, I am pensioning off the old tree too this year. And like you, it has served me well - heck I even left it decorated from year to year in the cupboard and just got it out to freshen them up and dust them off LMAO. So this year I am buying a big one cause it looks a bit silly now to see a little tree with so many presents. I also found the smaller one great to put up high out of reach of little hands....
Noni, Now you make sure you keep us in the loop LOL. I will have to go off for a looky at the tree too - I have seen similar ones done with cans and that before and they look awesome don't they? Very clever.
G, Lewis isn't still sick today is he? I hope not. And SUPER YAY for him walking!!!! that's great news.
WOOHOO on the Bargain Arte. You've certainly got an impressive vege patch. Do you preserve/freeze all your excess at all? That's what I usually do with what we cant eat.
Baking day today! so far I have made mini strawberry muffins, I have a carrot cake in the oven and I will make some berry cupcakes (with frozen berries) when the cake is done. I also have two huge bags of lamb shanks defrosting to roast for dinner tonight too - weather is appalling here so a yummy roasted comfort food dinner will be perfect.
LMAO at putting the tree back in the cupboard fully decorated...why didn't I think of that
Ah your comfort food has got me thinking. It's cold today here too, I found a stray ham hock in the deep freeze so I've got a pot of soup on, chicken thighs out for tea tonight, might have to slap a marinade on and roast them up with some veggies...mmmmm.
Clare, ok, you owe us photies after telling us all how fabulous your house is going to look! LOL
md- i always know when your dh is away cos your green light is on more often i love it!
noni- oohhh how exciting! fingers crossed for you
sherie- your baking sounds fab, i can smell it all from here. i'm jealous!
clare- how much longer till you finish your phd?
well lewis is still a bit lethargic today but not throwing up....but now df is sick! he's been throwing up all night- he must have caught it off lewis.
i feel sorry for him but i also feel a bit resentful, biatchy but i can't help it! he hasn't moved out of bed and is acting like he's dying.
when i was sick i couldn't rest cos i had to get up and look after lewis, i even had to drive myself and lewis to the hospital, stopping to throw up....while when he's sick he won't lift a finger and has been having long hot showers and lying in bed.
MD: yeah, well i reckon you may be disappointed by the house! i was thinking of just popping up some icicle lights from the verandah roof and threading some off the picket fence...so nothing too spesh unfortunately! if only i had a better homes and gardens type DH, THEN we would be in serious business LOL!
mmmmm, chicken, mmmmmm, or sherie's lamb shanks mmmmmmmmmmm...
Rainy: oh it's soo true! these boys just dont get it! when we are sick we try to have the world keep turning, but it certainly doesnt go both ways.
i have to submit the thesis for the phd in march of 2010. sounds like ages, until i realise how much more i have to do LOL! really gotta get crackin' on the writing....
sherie: you are soo right! MYER does gorgeous chrissy stuff. it's where i got L's first christmas bauble. so adorable. i also just bought her christmas party dress from there. love it...it has tulle. what more could a girl want?! LOL!
