Errrrrm, I knew I'd be trouble mum2one lol, I can't for medical reasons eat anything with fat in it or if it has fat it has to be very, very minimal, could I buy a banana or something else instead. I don't wish to be difficult and I'd love to join in.:o

Since its you .... Yes have a banana, as long as you think of choccy ( chocolate ) whilst you eat it ... Does that sound fair ? :rotfl:

Hi girls,

Is the Rudolph club moved over here now or is it still on the other thread and this is a different one?

Hi Angela

Well this is the new thread that runs inline with Jamtarts thread. Just as the other one was suppossed to do... Its to tie the two together, back to the Thrifty gifty that was last year. So they will be sister threads.

So i suppose that this is the thread that will be having the challenges on since its Mum2one ( who was setting the rudolph challenges) and myself that will be setting the challenges on this thread..

Hope to see you planning your Christmas here with us...

Different name..... Same game ;)

Hi
A banana would do the trick perfectly! and you could be extremely mse and when you've finished the banana use the skin to clean dark leather shoes (thats what Kim + Aggy did!).

Don't be daft ur not being difficult, ur very welcome to the thread.

basically the Rudolph thread was a long one and with Mel leaveing, I was going to set Julys challenge, and there was a lot of pages for newcomers to read through, so started this thread.

:jThanks mum2one, I use the banana skins round my rose tree. Apparently it's really good for them. I think Kim and Aggy are brilliant, they give such useful tips. My favourite one so far is water, baking soda and lemon juice in a squirty bottle to neutralise odours in the house.

Morning Everyone

I will get my bar of chocolate tonight while I'm at MR T's.... I'm getting all excited the suspense is just too much...:o

My Boys don't finish until the 22nd July so I've got a few weeks to go yet although I'm sure its gonna go really fast:eek:, got to make sure we have pleanty organised for them especially the little one as he always wants something to do, the eldest is good at entertaining himself, writing stories, filming Dr Who on his camera and drawing, just need to make sure I have pleanty of Paper and batteries in the cupboard.

I always try and do something with them everyday, but it does get hard to keep them occupied. With having the Puppy now means the park is on everyday, and there is a great field accross the way where we can take her for a good run so thats the excersise part of the days covered

It's just activities, I was thinking of trying and getting some Christmas Crafty gifts done with them ??? Anyone else doing this??

Not sure yet of any ideas, I have a few in favorite will have a look at them later and share them if you want?? or if anyone has any ideas?

The Kids have loads of people to make for:

Dad
Nana
2 x Grandad
Grandma
1 Elderly Aunty
1 3 yr Old Aunty
School Teachers
Cub Leaders & Cubs
Beaver Leaders & Beavers
Swimming Teacher
Drama Coaches (DS1)

So any crafty gifts that will last til xmas would be a good idea


Right Off to get another COFFEE and think of Christmas
