School's out. Mike's home for Christmas and the girls seem to have settled down a bit and are behaving well. We went to Cadwinkel's Soft Play on Friday morning and the girls met Mrs Claus who was lovely. Just like everyone's favourite Granny. And whilst Becca's been terrified by Santa this year, she really warmed to his missus which was lovely.

Last night we were upstairs settling Becca as she was having a bad dream around 10pm. On the way back downstairs I slipped and fell the rest of the way down the stairs, banging my coccyx, back and head on the edge of each step as I went. Was agony. I was terrified I'd really hurt myself and I couldn't put any weight on my right leg. Took some mega strong pain killers and tried to get some sleep in the hope it would be OK. Didn't sleep too well as the pain kept waking me, but by morning, I realised I hadn't damaged much more than my ego. I'm black and blue and in a LOT of pain today but thankfully, nothing a few days rest won't fix.

Had a lovely visit to Mike's Mum and Dad today. We had a nice lunch and a chat. They're popping over on Christmas morning to see what Santa's brought the kids.

Mike's just popped over to Paul and Gillian's to see them and also Austin who's visiting them for Christmas. So, I've got a quiet night in front of the box. Had a bath already so I'm off to get my fake tan started.

Tomorrow we're off on the steam train with Santa with my Mum and Dad. We're all really looking forward to that.
getting excited now, only 24 hours til santa comes :-))))))))
