If Shez is reading - have a look at page 22 of next week's Radio Times......phwoar

thriftlady/twink - Ive just got on here!! I bought the Radio Times this morning but havent read it yet, will have a look when I get home from work!!!
You know its "officially" christmas when the TV & Radio times are out!!!


Sorry didnt get on here yesterday - so Happy Belated Birthdays to anyone I missed and hugs to all those who are in need of them.

Well done to all the littleuns in their nativities - my DS is doing his tomorrow, he's an angel! - No Im not praising up my DS, he's playing the Angel Gabriel:rotfl: (do you think they picked him cos thats his name by chance?) :rolleyes:
Anyway, we have been practicing all the xmas songs - Rudolf, Walking in a Winter Wonderland, We Wish u a merry xmas! along with all the "signs" (which they teach them) so I suppose its the usual "parental argy bargy" for the front row and the usual paparazzi cameras, tripods, videos etc:rotfl:


Do I see a mention of a london meet? bargainrzl? who is invited?:whistle:

mrsA - Congrats to yr ds on passing driving test:T
gingin - congrats to DH on getting job:T
snowyowl - aw so sori to hear they are letting you go on 22nd, lets hope they offer you something else for the new year - good luck to youx
mushypeas - yes I like Next Jeans and also M&S have some sparkly ones this year too.

michelle - you sound so down.xx It is hard after just having a baby, your hormones plummet! and not only that after the initial loads of people popping round first week or two, after that you dont hear from anyone? they think yr too busy and i found it got very lonely at home, its not always "happy" all the time like you expect having a baby to be.

twink - hugs to you & your family & yr DS for going to Iraq at this time, god speed him home safe and well soon xx

quasar - hugs xx on the loss of poor birdiexx
welcome alfie !

Well - ditto to what Shez says.

Says it all perfectly really.

Got completely drenched this morning, but DD and I did get the christmas shopping completed! :T

got an application form for the nursery up the road from us so DD can start going 2 mornings a week. She was at a day nursery on a thursday but she hates it. I hope the shorter days will be easier for her. Luckily I have a great MIL (apart from all the things i say about her:rotfl: ) so we can be flexible like this. Let's see how it goes. Hated to think of DD being miserable. But i do think she needs some time with other kids as MIL does tend to spoil them. (Better than ignoring them, i know, i know)

Choccie biccies baking in the oven. You can always tell when I'm on a diet as I feed up the rest of the family.

DH away from tonight til friday. So I should get some stuff done, and I don't have anyone to feed. Kids get fed at MIL's when I'm at work. So I think I'll get some batch cooking in so we're set for over christmas. Even if I don't get the actual cooking done, I am determined to do the planning. :A

Hello Everyone

Having a really bad day at work. I'm now expected to be in two places at once!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Spent way too much on QVC yesterday. Kirks Folly was on and Mum and I went slightly nuts! So many nice things though

Thought I'd finished my Christmas shopping but then bought more on Sunday:p. Have definitely stopped buying now. Just got one thing to get which will cost aroun £3. Oh and the tree!!

Hope everyone's ok

Afternoon everyone!!

Just poping in quick before school run.

DDs xmas concert was lovely she sang her little heart out, though she would get abit overwelmed by the amount of people there but she was great!! Can wait to show dh and boys the video of the back of all the other parents heads!!!LOL.

Have been food shopping £100!!!!! But nearly all the xmas shop included in that so feeling quite xmasy today as i finally bought the last pressie HORRAY!!!
Now just need to wrap them all ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Hi all, can't stop, too much to do - I haven't even opened my advent calender today yet :eek:

Just popped in to see if Moggins is OK :grouphug:

Ooh, I actually found some work to do - but finished now. The girls in the office have been looking at hairstyles for me so I'm armed with pictures now :-)

Scuzz: Hope you're day gets better soon.......

Oh tru, just reminded me, i havnt had my advent calender yet either (and its a galexy one!!!)

Catznine - yes, avy is DS and DD at Camp Minnie Mickey in the Animal Kingdom!!! Littles ones dad still hasnt finished the downstairs loo, i cant complain because he is doing it for free (just costs) and he is fitting it in around everything else he has to do, but im sure it will be done before xmas!!!!

Well, was really good in town today, only did the few bits i needed to do including DDs new earings, and (sorry i cant remember who said it) i bet i do find the others now, but never mind, i used an argos gift card that i had, so they didnt cost me anything. I did forget the pick 'n' mix in woolies tho, but then, if i had bought them i would have to eat them!!!! I didnt go in any other shops, so didnt get tempted by all the christmassy things about, and as i got in early, missed all the crowds.
I now have a lovely smelling chicken stew bubbling away in my new SC (thanks mum!!!) which will be ready for after DSs football training. Apart from that, ive not done much today, although i did have a flip through the christmas tv guide i bought (not the radio times, so no Colin for me to dribble over!!!) whilst the little one had a sleep on the sofa.
Right, off for a little browse now,
Hope everyone has a lovely evening
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Penny-Pincher!!

Woohoo:j :j :j :j :j .....I have a sink, running water and a hob that works:beer: :j :T ...I have spuds boiling for mash for the Shepards Pie:D

OH has been busy as you can see;) Have a busy day tomorrow with hospital and having to go into Dartford, use a few more vouchers in Waitrose and hopefully that should be it for me going out before Xmas as its so busy with the chair. Have to get a special form from the PO as DD is off to germany thursday and needs it for health cover

We have just found out that DD has been selected for the Geography trip to Switzerland next July and have to pat £255 ASAP:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: ...luckily thanks to Queenie's advice I have been sticking £65 a month away for a school fund so I have it together:D ..the rest is due in March. £560 in all:cool:

Anyway, Im just so glad I can cook a meal.

Hugs to all.
