* It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year * - It's the 2016 Christmas Chatter Thread

Peppa- oh no sorry its another week added onto the end of the treatment, you will get there in the end though x. I get mad when people walk across carpeted areas in department stores rather than sticking to designated walkways - think we might be a bit crazy?


Princesskitty- we are here whenever life lets you get back on x


Chrissy- best get it ordered quickly so you can delete the browsing history so prying eyes cant see!


Pinksteps- glad she is almost back to herself, now you have said that you can understand that gull poop might well be the cause. Wherever she got it from you can breathe a bit more now x


Cherry- welcome!


Vulpix- lets hope whoever took the call for the appointment passes on the message about your mom x


I have had a real laugh today- now that we are down to a one car couple whenever DH is out I tend to go in DDs mini when we go out mooching. Today I have been looking for lamps (and there some really beautiful ones out there at some eye watering prices!!), then DD suggested we go to Moms to keep her company as she has parcels coming today-' why don't we take the dog?' she said. So we came home, got a fleece blanket to cover the car (black interior and GS hair do not mix!) and the dog. We tried to put her in the back o the car- wouldn't fit! I had to sit in the passenger seat with my legs in a VERY unladylike position with a large uncomfortable GS in between! We had to concertina her in- and then her tail kept sticking out so we couldn't shut the door- it was hilarious! It would have taken much less time had we not been rolling about in fits of giggles, Ruby wasn't quite so amused( but I think she saw the funny side when we got to moms as she loves her nanny). We had to reverse the operation when we got there and then again to come home. Luckily mom only lives about a 7 min car journey away. Goodness only knows what anyone would have thought if they had seen us! (probably one of those times you had to be there but it made me laugh).

Oh and I forgot to mention that one of the parcels mom was waiting for just happens to be the Alison Cork glitter tree I have lusted after from QVC! She doesn't know that I have guessed so I have to keep my excitement under wraps! Guess what I will be getting as my advent present!! Sshhh!!

Hi all, how rubbish am I not been on since January :-( Seems like life has taken over this year but kids back to school in a couple of weeks so my planning really can start. Gonna spend today chilling in the garden and catching up on here to see whats been going on.

Caught up on the past week, so apologies that some of this is a bit behind. HOW DID I MISS CHRISTMAS ALL DAY ON CHANNEL 5

Chrissy – You must be so proud of your DD doing her shop alone & finding the substitutions is fab.

Free – I have had a look, I got all confused the first thing I read but am going to look more on pinterest as it looks like something I may quite like (if I get my head round it) WOO go you starting on the Christmas food *puts hand up* I too have a UFO, I really need to book my sewing lessons too that I got for my birthday. Bunting looks fab.

MrsRyan – oooo enjoy the Harrods Christmas shop – jealous!

Nic – I really hope the high school ladies become nicer so that it isn’t a too long 18months.

Vulpix – Hope it’s nothing too serious with your mum.

GTQ – Sounds like you had a good holiday, other than the not being let in the club?! You must be a Christmas cake making machine!

Peppa – Sorry Chemo was delayed again. Hope you manage to have it next week.


My brother officially leaves Saturday so I am going to see him tomorrow and then me and DH are going to my parents for tea with him on Friday and to say bye, I already know I will be an emotional wreck :rotfl: I wish him luck though and as many of you have said, the advancements in technology (skype/facetime) will make it much easier to stay in touch.
On the Christmas front I have lost my lists I previously made - knew I should of put them in the Christmas Folder and have started again. I'm going to try and print the templates out I used previously and get organised. Reallllly need to cook my two fruit cakes for Christmas too...oh dear I am feeling behind!
All being well I should finish my Christmas craft JUST in time, i'm waiting on a couple of bits to be delivered from eBay as I'm actually going to make some for friends/family and the xmas craft fair too (in all this spare time I have :eek: )

Hi all

Well Freespirit! I thought you were a lovely, kind thoughtful lady ….but….NO!!!!!!!! You have caused me to spend a fortune on stuff to Bujo……:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I'm not really doing it right but have a page for people coming to my party and another for the food I am going to do. I got a lovely picture and quote about books from FB so I copied it(not bad as I find it difficult to draw the curtains!!!!!!) I think it will be more of a memory book rather than somewhere to cross of lists. (I still have my spreadsheets for that)
I have to do everything in pencil in a cheap pad to make sure I like the layout, then copy it, in pencil, to my Bujo. I wondered why the name had been shortened to 4 letters rather than just 2 but I have just typed them here and now I know why!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek:


Murie- I can't follow the links to the lamp. Could you post the Amazon description for me please?:o

Karrie1uk. What a lovely plan to use the box as an advent.:T:T

I have been browsing around looking for a Pandora ring for DD but they are quite expensive. I have found a site called the Jewel Hut who has a sale on Pandora and I noticed a lot of the reduced charms were Christmas ones. Worth a look if that's your thing.:)

I am still celebrating my Golden Year ad have been away the last 3 weekends. One of them was in a yurt. It was a great time with the girls but far too primitive for me. Compost toilet, rope bridge, no kitchen…..get the picture?????:eek::eek::eek:
I'm off to Skipwith Station this weekend. It is refurbished train carriages and they are very luxurious, going by the website. Much more my style!:D:D:D:D

Work is very stressful just now and I am beginning to suffer with poor skin again.:(:( I hope the coconut oil works it's magic and helps it clears quickly. :A
Well, I must rush…...I have some Bujo-ing to do:rotfl::rotfl:

Bye xxx
