Oh sorry, trissie - I misread about your date night. That sounds even better! :D I'm sorry about the bullying DS is experiencing. Ugh. I wonder if the school faculty and staff are aware? Or maybe DS feels it's too risky to involve them.
I hope it's a heated barn, L Ann.
Hi Peaches!
Sounds delicious, Kitty.
Wow! WTG with all the wrapping, kitkat!
Germane knows what she likes, Doggedly. I guess tissues are more fun than food? :)
The lunches you make for your boys sound so healthy and tasty, FFB. I'm curious like others - do they heat their lunches at school or eat it cold?
Smile, we'll be in the 40s on Thursday.

I posted a Christmas todo list here somewhere, and now I can't find it. LOL! I'll poke around in a bit.

My car woes are really first world problems. I have a portable electric pump in the back of my car, so I can easily pump up the tire as needed until I can get it to the tire shop. Not sure about the window washing fluid; this has never happened before with any of our cars, including this one. This is not this car's first winter here. :?:

Next:
- dress to exercise
- back exercises
- gym: cardio

Later:
- gym - cardio work out
- payroll: review my exam
- figure out if we're having Sunday dinner tonight
- order zoo certificate for dniece
- buy gift for dh
- buy gift for J12yo
- guest room laundry progress
- do I need to go get a rotisserie chicken for dinner tonight?
- dinner: menu depends on what is happening
- after dinner clean up
- duolingo
- update health apps
- read book!

TaDas!
- said good bye to dh
- coffee
- email deletions and weather website
- researched zoo gift certificate for dniece
- ordered toy for li'l I
- s2s and self care
- squeegeed and wiped shower
- labelled gifts for church charity wishlist

Just a short message as I really need to post my weekly list and go to bed.

helia, Doggedly,just to clarify, the lunchboxes are for MrNG and I. I used to have 4 boxes and fill them on weekends to last me a week. Now MrNG is in training all week, we have bought a few more boxes, and we try to have them full and in the freezer by Sunday night. Kids have school meals served warm at school. I think school menus in France are way different than in other countries. Here are examples of weekly school menus (not our town, just as an example, very similar) : go here https://www.sainte-anne-auray.com/resta ... -scolaire/ and click on the weeks in the light brown zone. One vegetarian meal a week is mandatory. "Bio" means organic, a percentage of the food must be organic.

kittykatt yes both MrNG and I have break rooms with microwaves so we can heat up our lunches.

Waving to all, congrats to kitkat on the wrapping, have a peaceful evening and night !

Your lunch sounds delish, Kittykatt. I can read about your savoy cabbage without envy as I have my own in the fridge that I am working my way through.
Imagine Freddie backing down for Matilda at the heater! I think that she should give him his shots. ;)
It's nice to know that we are not the only ones with our heads half in metric and half in imperial.

Hi, Peaches

I hope that L.Ann and DD are having a good time at the barn party.

helia, if the To Do list has vanished, I think that means that you don't have to do any of it. That's the rule, isn't it?

That all makes sense, FrenchFly. I was picturing an entire cafeteria of kids lined up in front of the microwave, LOL. Have a good night.

I have had a good phone visit with my db. I think that we were gabbing for a good four hours.
