Christmas Funnies

Ok not Christmassy but funny!!

 Please excuse my dodgy #openslather post which is just funny pictures found from my facebook newsfeed!!  It appears I am sick AGAIN.  

For those playing along at home BON JOVI rocked.  I have no words worthy of just how awesome the concert was!!  Full report on that later in the week!!

Linking up for what must be nearly the last time in 2013 with One Mother Hen for #openslather.

FFS Friday/Things I Know- 1 MORE SLEEP UNTIL BON JOVI

THE BAD

There has been no time for anything this week.  I have no idea where the days have disappeared to.  I have not even managed anything productive.  I still have a tonne of housework plus all the Christmas stuff left from last week.  I have presents stashed everywhere which no doubt someone who shouldn't is going to stumble across!!

I have 2 dogs who are free to a good home.  Their food stealing tally this week includes 2 advent calenders (which I got for $1 each and then had to go out and buy expensive ones to replace them) a bag of Christmas presents from playgroup which included bags of lollies, a bunch of bananas, half a loaf of bread and 2 bread rolls which I was saving for my lunch.

The entire worlds postal system is loopy, the poor parcel delivery lady is at my house every day with parcels which were posted at the same time and are turning up all over the shop.  Still waiting on  couple of things which hopefully will turn up soon.

Still on the Christmas theme I need a few more things and have no time or motivation to go and get them!!

At least Chrisy day is sorted for us although world war 3 may be on again like last year when our plans/lack of are known by everyone.

Facebook is still giving me the shites.

4 month needles.  Enough said.

THE GOOD

Did I mention there is 1 MORE SLEEP UNTIL BON JOVI.

Although the logistics of getting the 5 of us out of the house for 1 night is a freaking nightmare!!

It will be lovely to have a night out tomorrow with the HOTH.  The first in nearly a year!!

I have been dared to chuck some undies at JBJ.  Could be funny!!

I had a lovely dinner out last night with some lovely mums from mums group.  It was nice to get frocked up for a night.  Although it turns out Speedy hammered the HOTH and never went to bed until after 10pm.  I may not be allowed out again!!  Also next time I go out it might be a good idea to remember to change my shoes and not wear my scabby thongs!!

I think thats about it for the week.time once again is not on my side.  I will be back next week with a full Bon Jovi report!!

Linking up with the delightful Rhianna as I am thankful for my 2 nights out in a week!!,  Dear Baby G for the weekly whine, The Miss Cinders for the fact I know there is 1 SLEEP UNTIL BON JOVI and for the last time this year as I have finally remembered and am linking up with the awesome ladies at The Lounge which is over at Robomum this week!!

I will catch up on all my blog reading over the weekend in between going to Bon Jovi!!

Rocky road

Normally at this time of year I would be busting out my you beaut chocolate truffles however this year I simply do no have time for anything like that unfortunately.  It is take a plate to preschool on Wednesday and I decided to make rocky road as it is so simple!!  So simple I cannot believe I have never made it before!!

I made a test batch yesterday and used 375g choc melts, about 8 arrowroot biscuits, about 15 marshmallows cut in half and a few raspberry lollies also cut in half.  While the chocolate was melting in a bowl over a pot of water I chopped the marshmallows and lollies and broke up the biscuits then mixed it together and spread it in a lined pan.  A couple of hours in the fridge and it was good to go.  I think it has made enough for a "plate".  I will chop it up into smallish pieces so it goes a little further.

Seriously tasty and easy!!  I made it nut free but the variations on this are endless, there isn't much you couldn't put in it.

FFS Friday/ Things I Know- Gastro

THE BAD

One word for the last week and a bit- GASTRO

This unfortunate episode started 2 Sunday mornings ago with the 4 year old who decided to vomit everywhere (poor thing) and ended with me being sick for pretty much a whole week.

I can now tick gastro from my bucket list and hope like hell i never get it again.

I am now behind in everything Christmas and housework related and will have to spend the weekend catching up.

In other annoying stuff I had to go to the bank a couple of towns over and have been putting it off.  I went yesterday and what a freaking nightmare.  Seriously.  No parking, people everywhere.  Get a grip people its Christmas not the end of the world.

I have decided to announce when I will be leaving the house so the roads and car parks and shops can be cleared for me to go about my business without having to deal with all the crap that goes along.

Also I posted some stuff overseas.  Lets just say it would have been cheaper to buy a ticket an fly over and deliver it myself.

Thats about it for the bad, I have been so sick and have not had the chance to have stuff annoy me.

THE GOOD

Bon Jovi in 8 days.  I am trying so hard to not get over excited!!

No one else in the house got sick.  Also if I had to be sick I am glad it was last week and not next week.

It beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here.  We/ the kids decorated the tree on Sunday.  I have had some cards in the mail.  Thanks Mums Take Five for the card and glitter!!

That really is about it this week.  If anyone needs me I will be up to my eyeballs in washing, cleaning products and stealth present wrapping.

A very very random express ibot

Rhianna got Alanis stuck in my head from her post on Friday, I then heard Ironic while doing the groceries on Sunday.  Which led me to have to hear the secret song from the album.  Which made me try and find my Alanis cd, which I can't, which made me realise we still have a few boxes to unpack from moving back home over a year ago, which made me remember we might still have the baby walker which would save my sanity if we do.  Which then made me think while the HOTH is having a look to see if the baby walker is still there we should get the chrissy decorations down because holy crap christmas is 28 days away.  Which made me then think I should get all my cards done and posted which then made me remember I still need to get a few bits and pieces from the shops which I might do on Saturday with only the baby but then I remembered the HOTH is taking the big boys out and he will have my car.  Which made me swear as now I will have to do it the Saturday after.  Then I swore some more as I need to send stuff overseas and that really should be done this week.  I still have not found my cd, lucky there is the tube!!
