Went and bought some christmas wrapping paper today....guess what i've been doing tonight? WRAPPING XMAS PRESENTS!! I know it's only October BUT before i know it it'll be xmas eve and i'll have a TON of wrapping to do! (plus i LOVE wrapping presents up!!)
haha, i always make deals with myself to clean the house before i make any more mess sewing! ;)
Now this is a little naughty what i'm going to suggest... :/ We downloaded a rosetta stone learning program for our pc from the piratebay. I can totally recommend Rosetta Stone (it doesn't actually give you the translations, it shows you pictures and scenarios. A lot easier than trying to remember words from a boook) but the price was WAY over what i'd be willing to spend on something like that (like £150 for level 1!) And i just lookedand they do it in japanese.
Nikki, i've been the same with passwords on sites! We changed our browser because mozilla kept crashing and now i don't know the passwords to anything! :/
I've now had all the other stuff i was waiting for, fingers crossed the one i wanted most out of them comes next!
had some of the mail i was waiting for, but still no package.
aww i just found a cute idea!!

about halfway down the page is a picture of a jar and there's ingredients in it with a recipe card attached!! CUTE!
ooohilike this post!! How old are your step-daughter's family?? i've seen something in a magazine where you get an old jar (obv cleaned out!) and fill with sweets/biscuits then make a cute paper doily top for it like on jam jars, it's a lot better than it sounds! and i can't find a picture on the net.....looks like i'll have to make one soo to show you!!
i recently read the millenium triligy by Henreik Larsson, was brilliant! currently reading the suspicion of Mr Whicher, which is also really good!! Could also recommend a few books that are by C.J Samson!
I think it's having kids and realising how much needs to be done/bought etc that makes people start thinking about xmas early!! Also if you're gonna be making gifts for anyone then you need to give yourself enough time to make them all!!
I've already made a couple of christmas gifts for my sister and mum!!
still not had any mail!! I'm sure your package hasn't got lost, i think they're just really behind on delivering stuff!! Waiting on few bits from Ebay, and a letter i've been waiting for for WELL over a week!
my drop down notification list is always out of date!! not had the error though....
Children at that age should be sleeping 12+ hours in total (including naps)per day! (my daughter also never slept this much though so i understand your frustration there!)
I know your mother in law has been good to you letting you move in with them, but i'm sure she must've realised-asyou said-that babies cry!! My daughter is 3 and still wakes up crying in the night most nights-this is a normal thing!! I think you need to explain that while a lot of people can manage to get their children in to a routine, not all children are the same and there are bound to be some late nights/early mornings (as most people would expect!!).
I think you should tell her you are trying your best and shouldn't be there too much longer, and to make the most of having her grandaughter there-she'll miss her when she's gone!
yeah i wish she could stay this small too. she's just too cute
