    Honestly Paddington HOW inconsiderate are these people!! On that subject though.. How mental are people driving at this time of year?? I mean CMON guys get a GRIP! People are running red lights, driving the wrong way up one way streets, overtaking into head on traffic.. I have been having heart attacks as a passenger lately!!

    I like the sound of penguin 'jamas I want some :)

    Katholicos.. it sound like kwissmassss!!!!

    DUDES! I am SO listening to a christmas radio station!!

    Just what I needed a chilled christmas piece of music thank you!
  • jammy it was me who did Thorntons ... See i do have bad luck :rotfl: I have a funny story about that actually. I ordered 6 chocolate lollies. 3 x Santa and 3 x Snowman. The Santas came packed in bubble wrap. But the snowmen had their heads snapped off to fit in a smaller box :eek: . The customer services lady thought it was really funny,when i told her i didnt want the children having nightmares about headless snowmen. So we are now waiting for replacements to be sent ;)

    pinkladymel Get back to bed and get better, i missed my prompt yesterday.But loved getting 2 today. I still havent managed to start any pages but have lots of inspiration and i am waiting for an order from Artymiss :D

    furrypig No worries on sharing your lurgy, rather get it out the way now than wait until nearer Christmas.So thanks for sharing ;) I still look like Rudolph and feel like i have been kicked by him :rotfl:

    I am excited today. I ordered a Magic elf from USA.He arrived today:j
    Hes now half way up our Christmas tree (hiding) DS hasnt spotted him yet. His passport and letter from Santa has been printed ready to go. I have started taking pictures of 'Kelvin Klause' our elf in his hiding places.Which i hope to get printed into a pocket book after Christmas.

    As for popping out in PJ s once i went to get DS from the pub wearing my pjs,slippers and dressing gown with my coat on top because it was cold :D
    ( I was in the car though)
    furrypig says:my name is Choccy and I am addicted to nose free stamps as I want to save them all and give them noses!!!:rotfl:
    About me. Im Choccy or Chocolate orange depending on where i am.Yes occasionally i am a total looon who spends too long online,but no where near as much £ as her spendy elves do ..:D

    Im so proud to be scouse I just answered the door in my rocking reindeer pjs to my neighbour whod took in a parcel for me - not sure when it arrived to be honest

    But im now the proud owner of St Clares Boxset by Enid Blyton and a lot of gold and white blank cards and envelopes :rotfl:best learn how to make my own cards huh
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

  • phunkles - I want it, I want it, I want it!!! Used to love Enid Blyton books, may have to go have a root around in the loft for them, used to wish I attended the school where the naughtiest girl went.

    pinkladymel - I'm in Telford - where abouts do you hail from?

    Havent got very far yet, went to finish cards off & thought I better tidy craft cupboard before my big bro turned to fix the light in there (wouldnt get in otherwise). several hours later I finished & had to get on with a million & 1 every day jobs. So I'm getting my moneysavingexpert fix & then getting on with ebaying, hopefully the LO will be asleep by the time I've finished & I can get on with the cards.

    While on the topic of PJs, OH still hasnt forgiven his dad for taking him to school (in the car) in his dressing gown, JUST his dressing gown!

    PJs were a Primark special - they had some blue ones with polar bears and bright pink ones with monkeys - bought them for friends as pressies but none for me :A. May just have to nip in on Friday. :p

    There also seems to be an outbreak of people driving just that little bit too carefully as well - morning after the night before methinks ;)
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p
