Mel I thought that you were bring awfully quiet. Hope your mum had a lovely birthday. Did your scrap books survive the mutant potato water? x

What has been making me laugh is you lot and your "one more cup of tea/coffee" LOL It is brilliant.

The scrapbooks did survive the mutant water (LOVE that phrase) after I scrubbed them ranting and feeling like giving up.

I went out to Boots today to christmas shop and ended up just walking round and round and round I felt like I was going to go insane! Got some really great bargain toys reduced to pounds and 3 for 2 so look in your stores. They have been reduced for ages so I didn't think I had a chance but they must be putting bits out at a time.

Isn't it 11 weeks 6 days tomorrow till christmas? It seems to be flying by and I am more excited by the minute!!

Thank you so much for informing me on the Nightmare Before Christmas Loophole. I watched it tonight When my son was 10 months old we was in the Disney store and I heard him singing "Waz diz waz diz" and I couldn't believe it so tonight I was watching his reflection in the video cabinet and it was wonderful. He was smiling his little head off.


BRRRR freezing!!

you always have to have a cup of tea before you start anything or you will only have to stop half way through a task, although i oftern do that to lol

pinkladymel

would love to say hello from a sunny Devon, but its a bit wet!!
Very plzed with myself got some craft cards (£1 for 6), have got photos of dd in her xmas get up, last few yrs had xmas cards from vista print, but this yr the prices have shot up, although they are free you pay the p+p, but they have craftly added fee for uploading photos, not just for the 1st set, but for additional sets so bye-bye vistaprint for xmas cards. x

I have now got all the money I need for christmas set aside in my christmas fund so that is a big weight off my mind that I wont have to be scrimping when my November and December pay packets come through.

Shevs

I might be wrong but I have heard that they are turning on the Christmas lights in Manchester on Friday 7th November, 5 weeks and 1 day tomorrow Woooo CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!!

Sitting here with my 'just one more cup of coffee'!!

Think I have got most of my presents bought now - just want to get wrapping them but OH is in so late at night at the moment I'm too tired to bother!

Right - today I reallyam going to get some tidying done. It's been put off too many times now.

However, before I do that, I am going to finish my Asda on-line shop and chop and stew some apples which I got given from my mum's neighbour. I'm also going to attempt some apple chutney!

And.....

maybe just one more cup of coffee before I begin! :rotfl:

pinkladymel

Hahah one more coffee It's so funny and I don't even like coffee!!

I am just checking in for today and then I am off to finally do this room. I should take before and after pictures really as it is that much of a monstrosity!

Has everyone been printing off their sheets still even if they are behind on the actual housework? I haven't and I just thought.. perhaps if I print the sheets of and complete them it may help me feel like I have actually achieved something.

I can't believe Vistaprint that is SO naughty!!

Shev, Wish i'd got my money all saved up I have got a mystery money box that I have been adding to but for the past month no money has gone it so it's not looking too good!

Can't wait for all the decorations to arrive and the lights to be turned on. This year will be the best one ever!
