Christmas is coming
Had such a lovely day yesterday buying bits for Christmas. Last year the whole festive thing passed me by as I was pregnant at this time, then had the boys and then had to adjust to life with twins. Still adjusting and that'll probably go on for the next thirty years.
Bought lots of decorations. We're not having a tree this year as it will just get pulled over and I'll spend all of Christmas shouting 'Sam, NO!' Which in Sam world is the funniest thing ever. Mummy cross generally causes great hillarity to them both. Bought candle holders, lights etc. It'll look a right mess when I do it. I bought Woman and Home magazine the other day and marvelled at the Kelly Hoppen like Christmas Decors. A carefully placed bauble on the stair, the dinner plates bound with festive ribbon. Do people do this? Mmmm, probably. I don't normally by Woman and Home but they were out of Heat magazine.
It's so nice that the boys will be slightly more aware that something is going on and can have a little Christmas dinner. I've written to Father Christmas for them - I think you get a reply from the post office - and bought their stockings.
Mother of twins
Met my first miserable mother of twins yesterday. Normally when you see someone else with twins you have either a knowing nod of 'Oh my god, it's hard work isn't it?' or a little chat. Her's were three months old and she was with her parents who were very nice, but I seemed to just get on her nerves so I made a quick exit. On relaying the story to John, was advised that she may have been having a stressful day. Fair, but she'd better get used to them....there are plenty ahead!
Celebrity
I am not loving Jan Leeming at all. Nor Phina.
Rain
It's raining here at the moment and is really miserable. I have loads of cleaning to do - don't want Kim and Aggie knocking at the door.
Blogging
The more I write this, the more I feel it's a diary for me. I haven't kept a diary since I was 15, which was full of things like - I love Kieran or I love Sol or I hate Mr James or found science homework really hard. The innocence of it all.
Have a good day.

or Mr James is stranger than we thought.
Come and have a lift in my car (Cornish accent).
which one was mr james?

Science teacher. Blonde. Young. He was our tutor. He was in a band with Mr Stokes called Keep the Faith.
he was quite strict unless he was on a school trip. then he would just chase you round the dorm laughing like a madman.
I was telling John that story last night and was really laughing. He loved Woda the most.
don't become one of those people who says 'better get used to it love'. those early months are very difficult. poor lady, you sound like 'hard xanthe'!

Me? Are you joking? My first few months with the boys were hell and I have plenty of difficult days with them now. It was odd that she was so off with me. All the other twin mums have been great. It always makes you feel better when you talk to one, as you feel less alone.
yeah soft franny, the 1st few months are HELL!!! and all people can say is "it does get easier". my question is: when??
don't remember mr james - maybe he was after my time
i know, that's what i'm saying too you couple of crazies. i'm saying the first few months are hell so we should go easy on new mums.
you wouldn't remember mr james aunty p
i know that's what u're saying missy essy!

Maybe she had PND as opposed to being a miserable cow. Whatever it is I don't like her.
