This is what I've been up to today...

• 23:25 Well, at least I got a lie in this morning, even if I spent the rest of the day in a state of irritation varying from mild to intense. #
• 09:18 Mum and Dad have left. Kids tired and grumpy. Husband retired back to bed. Inlaws on the way. Wonder what my day's going to be like? #
• 15:24 oooooh I need a break from the kids.... #
• 15:25 Have reserved a Canon Powershot A2100 IS from Argos, £150, to pick up tomorrow. Reply quickly if you disagree violently with this choice... #
• 16:07 @nyssapod Would love to... sadly inlaws are here and I don't think I'll be allowed out for that long... #
• 17:39 @nyssapod My thoughts exactly :-) New toy :-)) Lots of reading to do too, still 3 books to go! #
• 18:43 @nyssapod Inlaws are leaving on Weds, then we're off to Ruth & Johns for New Year on Thurs. Are you thinking of a meet up? #
• 18:44 Really looking forward to my spag bol tonight - the girls' is just cooling then we can tuck in! #

God, that was bleak.

I can see now why they ahven't made anther series in Sweden now goven that Stefan was killed off and the actress who played Linda Wallander herself committed suicide a few months after that episode orginally aired.

• 00:01 Happy Christmas to all my Twitter and Facebook friends! I hope you all get what you wish for :-) #
• 00:02 Watching Midnight Mass from Westminster Cathedral. It's all in Latin, and to be honest, not very interesting... #
• 00:11 Do you think it would be really sad to be on here tomorrow? Perhaps I'll update hourly, just for the hell of it... #
• 00:16 Even the congregation at Westminster Cathedral look supremely pissed off... You'd think churchgoers at Christmas would be more cheerful. #
• 08:36 @nyssapod Many hugs to you (and Aled). Perhaps Santa will come next time you have a snooze. Thinking of you. xxx #
• 08:38 Becca woke up 6:48 - pretty reasonable except I got to bed at about 2am. Stockings and gifts from Santa have been ripped open in a frenzy. #
• 08:52 twitpic.com/v46op - Santa woz 'ere :-) #
• 09:58 The toy supermarket, Gabriella doll, Princess Ready Bed and cut and play fruit have gone down a storm. Wonder if the turkey's thawed yet? #
• 11:31 @nyssapod So glad you liked them :-)) Glad your day's improving. Make sure you get a rest when Aled naps. #
• 11:33 The turkey's in, High School Musical 3 is in the player, Lizzie's having a snooze, I'm off for a lazy soak in the bath. #
• 11:38 @nyssapod BTW realised when I put them together that the frame's not very good for the picture, feel free to use it for something else! #
• 13:58 Feeling nicely relaxed and Lushed up. #
• 16:00 Mmmmm, Mum's Christmas , yum :-) Followed by more frenzied present opening. Fab present from Helen at work, thanks H! #
• 16:01 My boss gave me a mug that says, "Aim low. Reach your goals. Avoid disappointment." I think he knows me a bit too well :-) #
• 19:51 We are all exhausted. Becca is in her new Ready Bed tucked up with her new Bratz dolls. The HSM cheerleader outfit was a hit too. Happy day. #

Note from seller
HI Sorry we could not ship your order as we have received delivery of the wrong colour therefore a refund has been issued. Thanks

No no no no no! I ordered this on 19th Dec and it took them this long to process it anyway? I didn't give a fat rat's ass about the colour but I really could have done with the present! I don't want to go shopping NOW!

• 11:01 The Christmas Twilight-fest has begun - re-reading book 1, then straight on to the other three. See you in a week or so :-) #

Unusually for me I've wrapped everything already and it isn't christmas eve (although ribbons do still need to be applied). However this is in part because I've still got 9 presents I'm waiting for to arrive in the post! And all that came today was some cat food and a stair gate!

One of them it transpires I never actually ordered in the first place, so I've done that now and have various things crossed because I refuse to pay £8.80 for next day delivery when the item only costs £9.98!!

But 2 research assistant jobs just came up at QMUL Electronics and Comp Sci Dept as follows:

( Post Advert )

Anyone know anyone that might be up for that?

• 10:11 We're on holiday! Good job, because I'm exhausted. Daddy and Becca have gone to see Santa at the school, me & Lizzie are chilling :-) #
• 18:14 Been putting away the plastic plates, cutlery, tablecloths etc from Lizzie's naming. Yes that was in July and I'm only just doing it. #
• 21:20 @TheLloydClan You still coming over tomorrow? Have got food in for you! #

• 17:59 @floyduk Yes it would appear he is - I just did a search and found him! Possibly the last person I expected to see in the Telegraph... #

We went to see Avatar at the BFI IMAX. I really enjoyed it; I had a fantastic time, and am now thinking about what I did and did not like.

( spoilers for a movie that has been rather meanly called 'Dances with Smurfs'  )

I decided to get this game for our godsons for Christmas. As we were seeing them in early december (until the stomach flu put paid to that) I got it sorted early. I also got them Downfall and because they've changed the design to a crap one I got a lightly used second hand one which was hard work, but getting Screwball Scramble was easy.

Tonight I need another small piece to add to a present for another child and decided that actually this would be suitable there too. Can't get one anywhere on the interweb AT ALL. WTF?

This is what I've been up to today...

• 00:04 OK, 125 cards sorted between us. Just 3 presents to wrap, then bed :-) #
