Mood: relaxed
Listening to: Dick and Dom in da bungalow on tele

Last night I have started writing my xmas cards.  I have in total over 80 to write and I have done half of them already.
We had two power cuts as well so I had to do them with the candle light flickering nearby... felt like I was back in time!

The power cut were not too long.  20 minutes and 10 minutes.  But it makes you realise how much you take for granted.  So at 8pm lights and tele went off.  The kids were upstairs and it went all dark so we had to reassure them.  Luckily they weren't freaked out. More surprised to have a blackout than anything... they were quite excited.  I was annoyed...but hey.. I am the mother.,  That's my job to be annoyed with the slightest thing especially when it is THE time of the month. 
Anyway, we then realised we didn't have a torch.  (mental note, Get a torch!!).  So I digged up the candles I bought ten years ago in Ikea (a box of 30 never used, still packed!!).  The good thing about candles is that there is no sale by date...so they always work no matter how old they are!
We lite a few candles there and there and had to watch the kids cause of course, they like blowing the candles out.  So I had to shout.... I dont like it but when you gotta shout.... you gotta shout!
So I carried on writing my xmas cards while the kids were on the sofa with hubby telling stories.... It's a game we always play when we're bored.  One starts by saying 'Once upon a time there was...' and the the second carries on and the third and the story always turns out to end up either in poo or vomit... well the kids are sick... what can I do!
After a while we really wanted the power to come back cause they were getting over excited and my time of the month was over flowing....
Anyway, the power came back on and I could finish my cards...or half of it anyway cause I was drinking white wine to get me through and after the third glass it was time for me to go to bed.
Hubby wanted some action but three glasses of wine and the time of the month meant he had to go without.... Honestly... I am not a machine!!!

Right...weather is absolutely crap today, mild and raining and very very windy so I shall do as little as possible!

Got to visit Hubby's nana and grandad, then I will be back home and start on the Christmas decoration in the kids playroom.  I'll do mine in the lounge next saturday.

OOOOOOOH I forgot... it's countdown to next saturday where I am going to see A-ha in concert.... I am so excited!!  Last time I saw them I was 14.  I am so looking forward to it.  I am going with Sarah and Donna and we'll have a great time.. I know it!!!
So we'll have a A-ha song in the video for this week.  Sorry if you don't like it... you can always turn it off

Have a great weekend
