EMminently - thats hilarious! There was a post like that on the Xfactor thread. The woman was talking about 'covering it up with just a towel as it went outside' which I thought was about Daniel from the X factor (gross thought).. turns out it was her cat she was rehousing but it didnt read like that at all!!

THERES AN X FACTOR THREAD???

WHERE??

Jen, post as many as you like, as big as you like.. He is BEAUTIFUL. Big congratulations to you. Well done, you did it xx

Beki

oh wow how adorable!!! well done you!!!

well i'm about to wrap up quite a few presents, and going to make a list as i go along of exactly what i've got for people and how much it's cost, as i have a habit of getting to a couple of days before christmas and thinking i haven't bought everyone enough, so go mad again!

this way, doing a list will show me exactly who's got what and how much i've spent so hopefully i won't feel the need to do any last-minute panick buying

is it just me or is anyone else starting to feel a bit panicky about how fast christmas is coming around? yesterday i'm sure it was 3 months til xmas, now just 24 hour later it's 1 month away today!!! heeelllpppppppp LOL
