❄❄ Let It Snow ❄❄ :: Christmas 2012 Chatter Thread

Sadly NHS care for first tri pregnancies is appalling Take comfort in your LO and let it be known, we are all thinking of you.

I think the idea of a memory stick with photos and video messages from friends and family is fantastic. It will be the next best thing to having you all there and I am sure it will mean an awful lot to him. For the CD/USB stick cover you could do some cute 'Subway' art that is tailored to your marriage and family

More Crafty shares for you all. Please tell me if I'm going over-board with photo's, I do get a bit snap happy

Just catching up on posts been awol for a while. Had some awful news at my 12 week scan Ive suffered another missed miscarriage (had one before ds who's 3) but its been awful set away then called back told it had grown and till could be hope then I miscarrie on tuesday morning but the hospital wont see me until my next appontment o Tues!!! Ended up in a&e as hadt a clue what was going on saw a lovey dr but he ouldnt get gynae to see me!! Anyway sorry long rant!!

Determined to hadve a great Christmas last year was a wash out Dh nana passed away a few days before Christmas last year (she was 96) and then everyone got ill so was disaster.

Anyway just commenting on the list from children asked ds what he wanted from santa his reply "a yellow mini car (we are talking matchbox cars here not a sit on pedal ride one!) and some chocolate that's it! easily pleased.

My heart goes out to you my love. I've never had a mc myself but a friend has just text me today with the exact same news. Made me burst out crying especially as today is World Prematurity Day which gets me every year (see sig). Look after yourself won't you. Never feel you can't share, online friends are invaluable xxx

Well, still just have the one item to collect from tesco for dd2 after they sent the wrong thing. Have to say, Tesco facebook were fabulous and after complaining Thursday night to them and giving my details the new item is already there to exchange! Just hope its correct!

So then just Secret Santa to go! Its all gettinga bit close now eh???

Hi all, what a lovely thread. I've read as many pages as I can so sorry if this has been asked recently. I'm going to make, in 250ml bottles, Werther's, Rhubarb and Custard, Pineapple chunk and Fox's Glacier mint vodka. How many sweets would people suggest putting in each one? Thanks.

Hello all,

Been lurking for a while now, and thought I'd see if any of you have some inspiration for me. My bf is off in Afghan this christmas which obviously limits xmas presents! I've got him a shoebox full of things that will hopefully make him smile, but i want to get him something a bit more *nice* if you know what I mean?

It needs to be able to fit into a shoebox, last for longer than a month (although I've mainly got him sweets etc anyway, because they have limited storage and can't bring much back!) and not be too massive. I was toying with the idea of sending him out some photos or something on a memory stick, but that doesn't seem like I've put much effort into it!
He's into computer games etc so maybe I could find something to do with that?

Thanks in advance!

I think the photos on a memory stick sounds like a fab idea, my dh works away a lot & last year i made him a pocket scrapbook, which travels anywhere he goes!

It woulnt be so bad but my second scan showed it had grown (even after they told me first was a missed miscarrige) but still not big enough to see heartbeat so scheduled for a 3rd scan this tues. Said but if you miscarry naturally just get in touch.

So I did they said well not much we cn do (I wasnt sure I definitely had as I didnt have time to collect" it) then told e if I was really worried go to a&e who would refer me up to them! as they didnt have any appointments for me to be seen and on Drs referral I would be seen (complete madness)

SO I spent 3 hours in a&e an the lovely dr who saw me said he was unabl to get them to take my referral even after wat they had told me to do anhe thought it a disgrace and said hewould make formal complaint as it wasted my time as well as his.

And he said my blood press uer was v low and I am quiet anaemic abd he said it wont help trapsing out to a&e when I shoudl have my feet up

Sorry rant over complete mess

YEt when I mis- micarried first time round they were fantastic got it confimed I was in hospital 1 day later having a d&c. I wonder if its becaue its my 3rd pregnancy and they see it as been there before??

Sorry rant over. I will be back on with positive Christmas vibe soon:)

Sorry jen , horrible to hear that but am glad your finding comfort in your LO. Sorry the Nhs aren't offering much support but unfortuently it doesn't surprise me.. xxx big hugs sweets.xxx

We brought the turkey this week for £5 and will be getting beef £5 next week for the freezer so no rush getting the meat nearer the day! Plus we got a tub of celebrations for £5er from Asda but reckon we may break into them before "the big day" lol . Even when my dad lived with us we werent this organised and had more money lol! Amazing what you can do when you put your mind to eat. x

Not sure who mentioned the coke van at meadow hall on Friday it's not till next Friday 30th

Just got back from winter wonder land at centre parcs was brillaint got me so excited for Xmas!
Got all DS presents tonight to check what we had because I'd bought another couple of bits and had no clue how much we had. Did a running total and worked out the £150 we have spent should have come to £260 but we saved so much after all the offers so pleased.
Only his balance bike then done!

Starting rest of the presents Friday can't wait!

Avid reader/long time lurker here! But just wanted to post a link to a bargain balance bike in case it helps you: oops just realised I can't post links but it's on Tesco direct if you search balance bikes you'll see a blue one for only £18.50!

In for a long night, youngest has been poorly on the sofa all afternoon (high temp, cough, cold and bad throat), we were just heading up to bed when she woke and threw up everywhere....We're now sat watching Mickey Mouse with her!

Still at least I can sit and look on pinterest for elf ideas
