every xmas i spend in kent with family, i have ALWAYS had xmas with some of my family and was planning to do so this year,

we were supposed to be travelling down today, but lastnight my sister announced she's caught chicken pox(my nieve has just got over them) so i can't go because lily-ann's immune system is still low from being ill this last week...so she's most likely to catch them...with xmas and the wedding just after i can't afford for either to catch them

i haven't got a tree up, no food in for over xmas, no way to get presents to my family with the postal delays, and the biggest downer of all, i've never spent an xmas without my family, they're all getting together on xmas eve and i'll be the only one not there

oh and on top of that, we have no water at our place cos all our pipes have frozen :S

Aww no poor you. I'm sure you'll manage to have a wonderful Christmas with Sam and the kids though. xx

ahh no kenty, at least you've got a few days to get some things sorted, I'm sure you'll all have a lovely Christmas anyway x

Ahh no hun, but look on bright side you can have a nice 'family' crimbo with just you guys youll be able to make it special, get a tree up asap that will put you in crimbo mode (it did us yest), I bet its going to be weird not spending it with your fam after being used to it, but you can all get together in the new year and have a 2nd crimbo day (saves sending all pressies out) thats pretty cool
Crappy about your pipes, ive never had that happen so no idea what to say

xx

Would you been able to get down here hun even if there wasent chicken pox about the snows really bad down here roads bad and that x

Sure youll have a lovely christmas with sam and the kiddies and you go abit of time to get some shopping in x Hope u get ur water bk quickli xx

awww hun sorry to hear that, what bad luck Like Carla said, the snow is pretty bad anyway and there's more on the way tomorrow. Im sure you will have a cosy and happy xmas with just the 4 of you xx

we were going to leave early this morning and figured it'd take quite awhile but totally doable

i don't want to do xmas as just the four of us, it feels just like any other day then, nothing really special

Ah hun dont feel like that - you can make it special, start your own tradition from this year forwards.

Hun, can you not take advise from your gp, tbh all my kids have had chicken pox and they are not ill with them they are just spotty and contagious.. She is obv at high risk of getting them, but generally once you've had them its done and dusted.. You rarely get them twice (some do i know ). When do you get married? You obviously would prefer not to have spotty kids in your pics

Hope you get your pipes sorted xxx

Oh no, if it wasn't fir the wedding I would just say just go and get ova and done with.

Xmas is what you make it hun xx

Ps. At least I can't get blamed for this one lol

emma, wedding is 15th jan...so 3 1/2weeks off...spotty kids is a huge no no


am sure i could find a way to blame you....charlotte had pox just about the time of the duo's party....they were near emily who got pox just after the party...which got passed onto sophie....and then onto brat!! ah ha!!

Aww Kenty hun.

We go to oh's side of the family and are usually home within a few hours and then its just like another day. Him on the puter playing a game, me watching tv. I can't wait to have a little one so christmas will start to feel special again. Try and make christmas just the 4 of you as special as you can hun. I like the idea of a 2nd crimbo day when all the pox has gone that will be something to look forward to xxx

*whistles innocently.....again* xx
