'Ello!

After hearing a noise upstairs, Gabi and I thought that Santa must have gone into Poppy's room when we were still awake... so we headed upstairs to check (and to go to bed, seeing as it was late). Her door was closed, so I had to open it slowly (to avoid waking the previously excited Poppy) and check that Santa had been, by noting if a bulging stocking was left on the end of the bed.. and it was! Satisfied that Santa had done his amazing job, I turned, only to creak a floorboard... Poppy stirs, still asleep and cracks out "'Ello!" (always polite and friendly!)... mean while, Gabi is snorting and chuckling as I (shakingly) creep out the bedroom and close the door, ready for Christmas morning!

that's that...

that's that then!

WOOOHOO! today, we finished the inside of Claypots! We actually did it! We can now proceed with putting it on the market! (we still need to do a little tidying outside, but that's by the by, all the hard work's been done! YAY!

No! I want to keep them in there...

No! I want to keep them in there, so I can find out who they are...

Oh, this is a complicated one to explain... Poppy woke up this morning, stating that she'd "had dreams with doctors in it"... ("they are real people in my dreams")... so we said "you just tell those doctors to get out of your dream, you're the boss of them!"... she drops this doozie... Apparently, "when she's five, or more, she'll tell them to go, once she knows who and what they are up to".

I'd like to say I make these up... but, Gabi can confirm our breakfast chat here...
