I have completely lost my voice.
The kids tipped me one step over the edge yesterday morning resulting in me shouting up the stairs - honestly you'd think we had a herd of elephants living with us! - leaving me completely and utterly speechless.
I am lost for words....literally.
Never in my life have I ever lost my voice before.
I think they may of cracked me.
Fortunately for me though - no more shouting.
All I have to do is give them a look and place my fingers to me lips - not even a 'sssshhhhh' can be uttered - and all peace is restored.
I think they know they have done their worst.
I hope your Christmas run up is going a little bit smoother then mine.
xXx

ps. I have a vase full of bright red tulips sat in the front room - in December.
Tulips and the Christmas edition of the Radio Times - in the same room sat side by side...............together.

ps beautiful photos
Christmas Radio Times and red tulips? No definitely not normal but very enviable. I do hope that you haven't damaged your vocal chords.
Oh Bless you....
We all have pre Christmas colds here, so I have two overwhelmed chidren, in particular the youngest. I too have one, that has left me very husky, much to the amusment of all at work...
I hope you voice returns soon, perhaps let it out when small people least expect it - & get your own back on them!

I lost my voice in the last half term it was the weirdest thing, people and kids kept asking me things and I couldn't reply....vey weird....it did come back eventually! Hope you can speak again soon, even if it is just to say Happy Christmas!
Lovely photo's as always.
Oh no! You must have shouted extremely loudly, the kids must have been acting paticularly naughty on that day!
I hope your voice is returned to you soon!
I have all these day's to look forward to when mine grows a few years older! haha

Hope your voice comes back soon.
I lost my voice once, and once I got over the frustration, it was kind of relaxing....
Lovely shots as usual! How do you get those dtty things - have tried with my camera but all attempts completely pants! Hope your voice comes back soon!

Lovely pix tulips are just the jo0b for Christmas as they bring thoughts of spring to come. I did a fair bit of shouting in my time too but at least your lot are all quiet now! Long may it continue. They do say that in order to get children to take notice you should speak quietly but I must admit it never worked for me"
Bright red cheering tulips are utterly essential to keep the voiceless in good heart, whatever the time of year :D
Really hope you feel better soon x
Bless you Nina, I have lost my voice twice before and really enjoyed the silence! Alice wasn't so patient and thought I could continue reading stories to her at bedtime!!
Lots of honey, lemon and hot water and cosy sleepy early nights, take care xox
When I have a cold on the way I lose my voice, hope you aren't going to be suffering over Christmas, lots of whisky and hot lemon required.
Beautiful photos.

Silence is one of my favourite things. Enjoy it while it lasts! (Hope it doesn't hurt..)
it's going to be all right, you'll get it back!
I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas with family and friends
oh dear Nina, poor you.
Our bodies have a way of calling us to a halt when something needs to mend so listen to what yours is trying to tell you. l
Take care and get well soon, love N z
oh noooo, no voice- you poor thing...hope it returns soon ;0)xx
the tulips look delightful for december- so pretty and cheeery xx
ive been up all night with my sophia coughing and sickness- bless her...we're supposed to be seeing santa today- but, well, not sure now?. merry christmas xx
Oh blimey! a medicinal hot honey lemnony and whisky must be the oly anser. Sounds like you've deservced it!
Calm, beautiful thoughts and all that. You take care of yourself
Stephxx
ooooops, I hope that calm will no reign! I had some pretty pink tulips and freesias last week, I thought it was funny next to my Christmas tree - probably not really right but they were so pretty :) Hugs, Catherine xx
You had me giggling about the tulips and the Christmas Radio Times...I do hope you get your voice back pronto, it's the strangest thing isn't it, not being able to talk. Sending you lots of love and hope you have a lovely Christmas (with your festive tulips lol!!)
Love Julia x x x
I think this is a blessing in disguise, Nina! It is true that hot lemon and honey will do the trick but there is something to be said for peace and silence.
I am wishing you a very happy week.
ps My children too are testing my patience from time to time. You are not alone.
I've found weirdly they listen more when you can't talk because you start looking at them menacingly. Just means you have to be in the same room for it to work.
Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family Nina.

The Christmas Radio Times is a must in this household. Hope your voice returns soon .
You remind me that I have a vase of 'pretend' red tulips in our house. I love them so much that there they stay, although when each summer goes I tell myself I should put them away. Mind you the 'pretend' amarylis is out the whole year too, oops!!
Sending hot, lemony vibes your way, we've all been suffering with colds and sore throats and my boy sounded like he might lose his voice .. sadly he didn't in the end. Could have done with the silence for a day!!!!
Take care xx
ahhhhhh yes, I have been there this past week too Nina, I have found myself shouting way too much at the Little peeps, altho my voice is still intact.
I buy red tulips every Christmas, they've become my Festive Flower of choice, so yes, completely normal!
Wishing you a peaceful tiptoe into Christmas, have a good'n'
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oh no! I've been there this week too, with the shouting. Voice intact though. Do get better - perhaps a hot toddy?
Well I hope you find your voice soon! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Take care
Louise
Oh dear! the voice does come back eventually. I always find it abit of a novelty when it happens to me.
I havn't bought any flowers for Christmas, I'm waiting for afterwards when the house looks empty after the decorations have gone.
Happy Christmas.
Oh, I hope you'll get better sonn and have your voice back for Christmas! I lost my voice only once and I think it was awful!
Have a lovely week!
Eva
Yep! Nina all is calm all is bright! Tulips and Radio Times in the Lane too! Soo looking forward to Doctor Who and Sherlock I think maybe I am a Stephen Moffat stalker in the making!!!
Feel better hon, just adore the first picture.
Love Sarah x
ps. postcards all safely arrived on presies in Australia - hooray! x
Hope you managed to get your voice back!
I am signing off for the year and just wanted to stop by and wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year. It has been a REAL pleasure to read your posts this past year and I look forward to reading more in the next!!!!
Much love to you
Vanessa xxxxxxxx
