Hi :wave:

Hope everyone is well. Sorry I've not posted for a while but have been busy. However, I have managed to write some Xmas cards and buy some gifts. I received some great news this morning, DH and I have been trying via local housing authority to move house because we need somewhere more suitable for a disabled person and THEY'VE OFFEERED US SOMEWHERE :j :beer: :dance: _party_ . It's totally suitable for us. So I'm going to have to be super-organised this Xmas :eek:

thats a few little jobbies ticked off for me. pleased i managed to find some gold bowls in ikea for pots of gold - does anyone know if there's usually a lottery draw on xmas eve or xmas day? how far in advance can u buy tickets? I dont do the lottery so havent a clue!

Hi, ur doing well with the list, re lottery, theres a draw on christmas eve, (wed), if you wanted tickets for that draw only the earliest you can buy them is from the thursday before.

Managed most of my jobs yesterday,:j Managed to get one London underground Fact Jar Made after finding the facts..... Just need to go buy 2 more jars of Coffee now (How will I ever cope...LOL) so I can use the jars to put the facts in. Found A Jokey Tube Map that I'm gonna put in a Frame for one of OH Train Mad Mates.

Managed to Print off the Free Name a star Certificates for my boys, and my Little Sister.

Spent 2 hours in ASDA, got the kids Xmas Day outfits, and DS1 a Suit/ Shirt and tie for his Birthday (He wants to be the Doctor.....;) )

Well today I'm going to the Garden centre to see father christmas with the kids, and maybe do some more crafts this afternoon.

Hope everyone has a lovely day

Take Care

Yup, snowing here too! Its 6am, I've been up since 3.40am (Kieran woke up - WIDE awake!) and proceeded to play in the dark "toot toot" until now - he keeps falling asleep on the floor until I try and pick him up and he wakes and starts shouting, he isnow on the floor, wrapped in his duvet on a pillow, I'm on my third coffee, the central heating is on (could see our breath!)- but its all ok because its snowing!

I need to get out more!

On the upside I have.....
done my Xmas card list (am sending a few digital ones thisyear if I can find a nice one - there was one once over where you had to "click" on the chimney to start smoking, the tree to light up etc - anyone seen it?).
Sourced a few more bits for my hampers on ebay,
updated my "bought/to buy" list,
and pulled out my Tesco saving stamps and bit and pieces of vouchers already this morning.
I have a christmas event today so am hoping the snow makes it extra xmassy and ups sales somore money for the pot!

We have snow too - kids can't wait to get outside!

That cake is gorgeous!

Just found this thread. I've been making Christmas cards the past few days - I bought a bunch of kits from the pound shop to get some bits in (haven't done anything crafty in years), and I'm ignoring the designs and making things customised to each recipients interests.

We've got puddings in. Next week the decorations go up, and the week after I think I'll make some truffles.

I like that Organized Christmas site - I don't think I'll follow it to the letter, but there's some great tips on there.

We've had snow too, boys have built their snowman, my youngest one DS aged 3 was absolutely mesmorised by it!

I got lots of photos so will get a couple of photo gifts (mugs I think) from Snapfish as I just got a code emailed not long ago!

I LOVE SNOW!:santa2:
