    Hi to everyone else who has popped in today :).

    I haven't seen the christmas decorations up yet but it does usually start around the end of September I think. Once again it's scary how quickly the year has gone, I have had some fun times though. Going to have to start christmas shopping soon, I hate doing it around christmas so I usually get in there early.

    Hi Hayley, nearly missed your post on the last page! And hello to everyone else. Saw Amys website on Facebook, looks brilliant but must admit those reborn dolls scare me! Have always hated dolls though so it's nothing personal!

    Just realised i dont think Amy is on my facebook anymore. Oh wells.

    I saw christmas cards and wrapping in one of our cheap card shops yesterday. Not really looking forward to Christmas this year, might just pretend its not happening!

    It wouldn't be so bad but my family never bothers with christmas really so i used to spend it with his as his mum really loved it.

    My family act like its just another day, not even any fancy dinner etc.

    I think that's what it is with the diaries separated from here. I go there and not the dfw board so much. I'll have to remember.

    I can't wait for xmas but it is a bit soon yet to think about it.

    I've just built two sets of block shelving from Ikea, and they look lovely in my lounge, and hopefully will hide some of dd's tys as we bought some boxes to fit in there too.

    Dawn you'll be fine, it's still a few months away and you'll heal so much more before then.

    I'm saving any Amazon vouchers to get OH a nice new camcorder shhhhh. Hopefully I'll offset most of the cost.

    I don't like Christmas either - so we can do 'bah humbug' together :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

  • Evening to anyone here... or have you all mooched off to bed? :P

    LM, sorry to hear you split with your bf - hope you feel a bit better about it soon, though I know it's easier said than done xxx

    I'm CompletelyBored tonight... even went on facebook (!) which I usually hate & can't see the point in, hah. Watched some dvds I bought from Play.com with vouchers... did some ironing... now keep panicking about Tuesday.

    Jen the insurance for that car is ridiculous! My brother is 18 and his insurance wouldn't be much more than that on our old banger (well, once he's passed his test, lol).
