Another fab Xmas day really enjoyed it we went to mum n dads. Jeanluc stayed there Xmas eve me n Kira stayed at home first time in five years I woke up Xmas day at home!!

Next year I might even try to get to stay home for Xmas I would love it as not done in five years.

Kids older now so spend most of Xmas day on to watching DVDs or Jeanluc on mine craft

Was funny looking at presents we all know what Kira loves you could tell which pile was ours

And which pile was his as he has no clue what his daughter likes.

Three she absolutely hated. Two are going to be register to friends for birthday as Kira is not a girly girl

And another my mum kept hand warmers Kira went why on earth would I want that!!

She kept slippers and deodorant from him

Jeanluc liked his presents apart from aftershave will be regifted or charity shop

He got allot of money towards his ps vita he wants hopefully we're go get next week when his dos goes in

No phone calls which I didn't expect anyway they not spoken to him in two years we took Jeanluc phone and iPod in just Incase as he knows FaceTime email

Going in mums later for curry yum yum I finished a crochet scarf yesterday which I'm gonna keep

Making a crochet shawl did have a knitting pattern for it Stylecraft found it too fiddly so ended up crocheting it found it much easier. I need to go buy me some more in cotton moon tomorrow 

It feels lovely 

Both kids got xmas jumper day tomorrow, kira got her clothes sorted already to wear lol makes a change!! Jeanluc came home gave me a lovely cuddle must be tired usually goes straight for drink n upstairs I got a bear hug!! 

Made heather a xmas pressie I need to post it off. Got cards in post today both opened to the kids from his parents they never send them anything anyway now so postie would be disappointed

Thought it daft though when I saw Kira's card looks like it's for a baby not a nearly 13yr old. And goddaughter on front of card seem to remember them being grandparents never godparent. 

Me rolls eyes. Dad went that's just ridiculous not send right card. He wanted to post it back I went I can't be bothered Kira probably chuck it on fire anyway. 

She made a lovely meal last night kira is now into learning to cook. 

She made burritos last night I've just finished the left overs off for lunch. Tonight we are both making mushroom pasta or pasta raux sauce she calls it.  Can't get over she be 13 next week she's really getting taller now been taller than me soon 

We're going to a xmas party on Saturday looking forward to it I'm taking pom Pom makers so they can all make some xmas pom poms. 

Saturday after I'm having my Saturday respite session whoop whoop only taking me 5 years!! Jean-luc be going out with them every Saturday now be weird being able to go out with kira on our own. 

We had senior disco at Jean-luc school last week I enjoyed that I was crocheting scarf below did most of it there didn't believe me when I said be done in two days lol. I'd already made one for my aunty.

Knitting a shawl started today with Stylecraft kisses wool gonna look lovely when done as got a holey effect to it. 

This is where rob was on scarf on last youthclub I went to.  

looking forward to seeing what he's done. Saw him in town said he's not done so well. 

Been a while since I been on finished a Drapey poncho pattern by king cole getting a addiction for king cole yarn. Few mistakes on it as shouldn't knit when I'll or tired lol.  Doing another granny stripes blanket.   Started a Stylecraft crochet scarf yesterday need 19 rows I'm in row 14 it's quick. Then a border to do and flower.

Good news finally got respite for Jeanluc taken God knows how long finally happening this month happy dance!! He be going out with a buddy on a Saturday me n kira can have girlie time. So might be last youth club I be attending Saturday I miss it. As I like chatting with the leaders and I've been learning a lad to knit a scarf. He's taken on the Dr who scarf!! After seeing mine knitted up he wanted to learn. Not seen him for a few weeks as missed last one taking kira to specsavers. So hoping he's done 52 rows of camel!! 

I am well chuffed with my first knitted cardigan I love it!! Not perfect but I finished it lol. Now doing a king cole pattern jumper in monsoon colour. I have to say I could of gone a size smaller more like a jacket but lovely n warm!! Might attempt another one later in different colour.

Back on stitching on grandad not felt like stitching in months now in the mood for it yesterday and was chuffed with what I done!! Went butlins last week had a fab time catching up with friends at gala dinner made even better we could choose our table this year we were first in kids made a beeline for centre table on upper level lol. Think management amazed  as we didn't go to front 

We had some fun people on our table it made our night they were a hoot!! Keith table host got us all drunk lol. I really felt it Thursday as I don't do wine!!  Well it was free lol I remember counting three glasses gave up!! 

We found another knitting shop as other one closed I'm amazed we've never seen it before pandora behind coop carpark in minehead does fabric and threads also. I got a few balls of king cole n started a poncho Thursday 

I had a lovely cuddle with redcoat paul no longer a redcoat but well redcoat paul he always be lol. He saw us tues in skyline n came over n chatted with us for ages.  If your ever at butlins n see the rag dolls  in concert there go they are fab!! We had them at gala dinner Wednesday and they were brilliant

On my poncho I'm knitting I've doubled up the wool as too thin will use three balls all together I got a knit winder so wound up two balls to 50g easier to knit with. 

I swapped numbers this year with friends at butlins as not going gala next year give it a miss
