BUSY!

I know its leading up to Xmas and everyone is busy, but I seem to be hectic!... I am trying to write the lists for the house and the animals for when mum and dad look after the house when we go skiing, and a list of to pack things for the packing on 26-27th!! then 48 hours after we get back steve has to be ready for the army 3 day interview, so trying to get that sorted too, Xmas eve, Xmas lunch menus, presents, wrapping, oh wash santa outfits!!! OH AND WORK!!etc etc...Then my Dad had his operation to remove his gall bladder, which I am glad to report went very well, but tried to move as much about to make sure they were both ok and got home safe and didnt need anything...but really gald he is on the mend in a spectacular fashion!, He just wants Santa to visit him!!...Then on Sunday early hours Monday we had a call from Colin Petes brother, his mum had been rushed by ambulance to treliske with a broken femur in 3 places. She did it at 10pm when she was playing ball with Suzie the dog, Colin didnt get home until later so she was laid there stuck for a while, but not half as long as she would have been, had Colin not been living there...she was so lucky he was there... So thats where we have been since really, visiting and making sure she was ok and came thro the op ok. She is nearly 83 and luckily very fit and healthy, she will kill me for saying her age!!...sorry Pam, she is mearly 55 really, so at the moment we are just visiting the hospital until the physio says she is medically and physically well enough to return home to recover, I am sure it will be before Xmas fingers crossed. So I  am hoping everyone else will remain healthy over Xmas....please!!! Mind you I did give Pete a scare today as I was flying about on the college run early this morning and I fell down the stairs, broke my watch, bruised my back,leg,arm and shoulder, but nothing broke so thats good, just very sore, but fine! glad I only broke my watch, I wouldn't be happy if I couldn't cook Xmas!...Pete managed to find another one for me today, you are lost without a watch, well i am as every minute counts here!...thanks Pete!
