I fail at chair building. We've bought the nephew and niece a chair each. They're cute, small, teddy bear decorated with their names on the top. Sadly they're also self-assembly. There's 12 screws and you'd think it would be easy. It so isn't. I have half a chair done and I've had to leave it before I chucked the thing out the widow.

It was James' birthday on Friday so we've had a totally indulgent weekend. Which was one plus to not getting away, spending the time with him. Lets see, we went bowling with the best friend on Friday, I actually played this time and it was fun. Though how James managed to get a gutter ball when the gutter bumpers were up I'll never know. We've seen four movies at the cinema. Happy Feet is amazing! I had joy watching it, seriously. It's scary and fun and touching all mixed together with a penguin cute overload. We've decorated our and my mam's house, and now I'm surrounded by Christmas stuff and lights which always provokes a smile. Also, bits of wood and screws but lets not go there. We spend yesterday morning watching Corey play rugby in a howling gale and rain. Then the afternoon out with friends followed by a Chinese take away at her house. Really, it wasn't a bad weekend at all.

Now I have a load of online stuff to catch up on. Not yet though. I did part of the big freezer shop earlier and the delivery has just arrived. Somehow I need to fit it all into my freezers.

Hee! Happy Feet was so awesome. My niece still goes into a tapping frenzy, a week later, if you look at her and just tap one foot on the floor, like tap-tap-tap. Ahahaha!

Also, if you have young relatives who might be interested, I hear the website has instructions for some of the dance steps.

It was an amazing film!

Oh, I'll have to check out the website. I may have to try some moves myself *g*
