    Just a quickie update

    Now sent the last of the answers out, so apologies for the delay.

    Hope everyones having fun with the choosing of the presents, I'm about again at the weekend so will forward numbers as and when, don't worry as long as i've got them in by 20th Nov, that be brilliant.

    If in doubt do what I've done gone through a few of my partners posts to get a further few ideas, but everyone is doing brilliantly.

    Getting Novs challenge ready, dd has already suggested the freezers, but I won't be to cruel,... her answer to that one was --- you did tell them they could have a chocolate bar..... the innoncence of youth, wish we could bottle it and it would last for ever....

    Some of the questions,..... could of throttled her last ngt, she came into morrisons with me for her prescription, told her to choose a magazine, right by the pharmacy, she comes back with a magazine, top of her voice..

    MUM I'VE GOT YOU THIS ITS PINK AND ITS FREE.....

    A SELF TESTING CLYMADIA TEST.........

    did i wish the ground would open up, they put them right by the kids magazines...... x
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Already done freezers.........well OH did them before he was ill...................so, what's to to now?
    I do still need to get snowball sweets for my snowmen and get on with some sort of decorations -twiggy tree to stand on the pine dresser and something to decorate it with...........there I'm coming a bit stuck:confused:
    Want something sort of 'primitive' if you know what I mean.................anyone got any ideas ?

    Oh eck.........just remembered -its my friends birthday next week...........least all her pressies are done plus card...............relief :rolleyes:
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Name Dropper Combo Breaker
    Forgot to add yesterday
    Tesco are doing 1ltr bottles of Baileys Original or Coffee for £9 when you spend over £30 in store.
    Will probably be the best offer this year so I'm going to get mine now for Christmas (and the Nigella Irish Cream Tiramasu recipe). Last year there was a big supermarket Baileys price war but I got sick of running back and forth!
    Offer ends on the 11th (I think)
    June Grocery Challenge £493.33/£500 July £/£500
    2 adults, 3 teens
    Progress is easier to acheive than perfection.

    Hi all !:j
    Well, never did go down town and post parcel........thought I'd give it another week, was thinking next Tuesday...........then hospital phoned with appointment for OH to have a bronchoscopy (one of those tube down the throat things)..........depending on that he might have a biopsy the same day or week later..........totally threw me it did.........we wanted it to come quick but it sent me all of a shiver.........:eek:
    So nothing christmassy been done at all..........but I have cleared out my filing cabinet -much needed......and shredded a load of outdated stuff..............rest of the comp. room is c**p.............didn't get around to doing anything else, took me long enough to do what I did:rolleyes:
    Maybe I'll feel a bit more 'festive' tomorrow and actually get on and do something.
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
