Hmmmm.. Christmas vent, or more just a vent about the useless blimmin pharmacy down the road.
I suppose the story starts on MOnday when I was miserable and grumpy so went and spent $130 at the Baby Factory on bobux shoes and toys for the twins (they REALLY needed them  )... It continues on to a trip to the Patch outlet yesterday that set me back $140 on clothes for Maya and baby wraps...
Which is all fine because I got a refund from Southern Cross so had a spare few $$$ floating around. Until today.
I went to pick up Mercedes formula from the pharmacy (we get it on prescription) and instead of getting 2 weeks worth like I told them too, they had ordered in 6 weeks worth and told me if I didn't take it today they would send it back to the supplier and might not be able to get it when I need it in a couple of weeks. I made a snarky comment about it not being possible for it to be out of stock, but I didn't really have a choice and ended up having to shell out $155 for the whole blo*dy lot! So there goes the rest of the Southern Cross refund plus a huge chunk of my Xmas money 
Still I suppose at least I won't need to buy formula for a while - I just need to find somewhere to store 27 tins of the stuff!

I am feeling better - lewis is really supportive about his family, which has made me feel so much better. next xmas rant though
1. got told today that we aren't having xmas dinner at our house now, but at L's Nana's house. Lovely for them to tell me and not involve us in the decisino process, L was rather annoyed, til i saw the silver lining - i can cook, unaided, no "you should.." comments, no one trying to clean up as I cook.....and a few glasses of wine - and then we can go..and leave early so the kids can have a bath and bed....sigh. looking better all the time!
2. we are doing secret santa this year. I was tallking to BIL I said "L had D", BIL sauys "No, I have D" and I checked...he's right!! so I told L the wrong thing and now he has to get another prsent. Oops!!!

Lol, mike decided yesterday that we weren't being xmasy enough, so proceeded to spray fake snow round all our windows and got out and hung our 1 strand of fairy lights around the house, lol.. glad he feels better, very cutesy.
MIL rung this evening and we are now having a barbeque at our place here.. which is ok, we just need to now ring our neighbours and tell them that thank you their invitation to their place was great but we are now staying at our place(have a feeling it will end up getting mixed cos our girls can't stay away from each others houses now) soo. of to the supermarket i go tomorrow morning, and stupidly enough we still want a pic of the girls with santa.. so will brave the stores early to get one.
Mike is out in the shed currently puttingup the swing.. lol.. so we'll see how that goes, but at least all the bits are there that i can see. yaya!
now just for the slide. he he

Merry Christmas everyone - hope you are all having a wonderful day! Funny how we still manage to get on here tho isnt it! 
We're having a good day so far but just need to have my one moan cos I cant tell anyone really. I have mentioned before about my inlaws being pretty scroogy, well all Hannah got from them was a rash vest/tog bottoms. Now I dont expect a lot, maybe a book or something as well. I dont know, maybe I'm just spoilt but I find it quite sad... Oh well, feel better for having said it now!

Aimee, after all the xmas rush was over, i noticed my in laws got Taine something, but gave Jake clothes - the clothes they had bought for him for his birthday - and they were crappy and too small. nice - really nice. during the present opening, my MIL kept saying - the boys have too many toys, you have to get rid of some now.

Merry christmas everyone.
we had a really good day, had all the family here so that was great and most of them came back today to finish off the food so it was really neat. My friend had her baby on Saturday so was still in hospital so her wee girl came over for a few hours too, was really great having family and friends over, I like those big christmas's even though everyone kept saying oh poor you having so many people at your house but I love it.
Only thing i was annoyed about was (and this is my rant) I was just about to leave last night about 6pm to go and see my dad for christmas and hubbys uncle turned up unannounced which is ok but hubbys mum (uncles brother) was suppose to meet her here and she never turned up, he waited and waited and I didnt feel like we could leave to go to dads and his uncle is rather painful, hard to talk to etc... so after almost 3 hours later he gives up waiting for MIL and decides to leave!!! So I didnt get to see my dad and I had to try and entertain him for ages, MIL got a telling off today!

My only one from yesterday is the M and FIL opening up all of Andrew's presents out of the boxes. We wanted to wait as we knew most of the stuff they got him would need batteries and we didn't have any. He was very dissapointed when he couldn't actually play with the car cos it didn't work.
I lie I have 2. BIL is engaged, BUT we haven't been told so as far as we a concerned the girl is his friend (that is how she had been introduced to us last year), so we never brought her a present (i don't buy presents for brothers and sisters friends). So when SIL was taking his present (we weren't going to the in laws for lunch) we were asked for the "friends" present. DH said "we don't buy presents for friends". The look we got from his father was priceless. Nothing else has been said about it, but if his mother doesn't want to tell us they are engaged then we will continue to call her his "friend".

lol Becks..
Hey ladies i think this is a record for me.. 3 days without signing in to oh-baby!
My girls got well and truely spoilt. we had an allright day however bike has to go back already - was at work on xmas eve and rung mike.. to find he had found a couple of pieces had a crack in them.. so hopefully off to kmart tomorrow to get a new one (or money back but hardly likely since we bought it ages ago.. even though it's only been put up 3 days ago and never ridden)
Am absolutely tired as heck.. neonates is chocka-block and have been flat ack.. looking after 5 babes a shift, which is ok, but certainly not for the faint-hearted at times... crazy busy.
have tomorrow off at least then back to work again.
Hope everyone had an ok day, even with the out-laws, lol.
