Do you want some calpol on it?

I have rosacea and it had flared up on Monday afternoon. Bug put his hand on my face and said my face was hot. I said yes it's sore. Bug then asked if I wanted some calpol on it!!

more on Christmas

The down side to being organised for Christmas is that Bug keeps finding presents. I completely forgot I'd left the train set in the downstairs cupboard and he found it and doesn't seem to be forgetting about it! At least I know the train set was a good choice. It's a brio one and I love it. I think I'll be adding to it for a long time. I love wooden toys.

I think I'm in denial it's almost the middle of October. At the end of the month my sister wants me to take her shopping to get some things for Christmas. Should be good, means she can choose her perfume while we're out and I won't have to worry about choosing one she doesn't like. I've really only got a few more things to pick up. 

I ordered a playmobil advent calender. I'm not sure if bug is still a big young for it but I liked it. I have quite a few playmobil things put away. Definitely starting to look like a playmobil Christmas!!

October

At the weekend I went to get get Bug new shoes. I always go to Clarks since Bug has quite wide feet. He's now a 7H. Bug absolutely loves dinosaurs (so did I as a child) so we went with the dinosaur shoes, although I did choose grey over the brown ones. I'm not sure why but I really don't like brown shoes on him. My own boots are brown so my dislike of brown shoes is specific to children's shoes. No explanation. While I was there I also got him some new wellies. When we got home he spent a good half hour splashing in puddles in the garden.
