    Was just thinking about Wednesday I will probably be wearing either a top that has the coca cola father Christmas on or my Christmas jumper from primark which has penguins and Christmas trees on. Does this help at all?
    I'm also a red head

    So on the Christmas front I need 4 more presents for Mum's advent yes I am being lazy and cheating and buying them from Lush, speaking of if either of you lovely ladies would like anything if you can let me know by tomorrow at 4pm (I'll message you both my phone number in a mo) I'll bring it with me on Wednesday and even use my discount ;).

    Other than that wrapping has officially commenced in my house, we actually started back in August when we couldn't hide

    So we wrapped it and left it in plain site :rotfl:

    But I believe the stockings are done (well the parents are anyway)
    Now I'm onto presents under the tree but it's finding the energy after work to do them, I'll probably get some more blitzed tomorrow as I finish at 4pm and hopefully alot more after our Christmassy meet on Wednesday!

    Hope everyone is well Love and Hugs to all that need or want them.

    I put my christmas tree up yesterday. I then uploaded the picture to facebook. The amount of negative comments I received was ridiculous. Baring in mind I'm due on boxing day, I put up my christmas tree while I could still do it with ease. GRR!!


    And these are people on your FRIENDS list??:eek: What a bunch of miserable people.


    I am happy to say our little elf was delivered today so I will be getting him prepared for appearing on Saturday.

    I have been making keyrings for the craft fayre and got a little carried away, and now have over 50 of them, plus order forms for anyone who wants different names. (One of my friends has ordered 6 already) :)

    Annd on a non-christmassy, but still craft-related note, my 5 year old had to make a 3D model out of shapes they have learned so we built a Rapunzel tower.:)

  • Just got a couple of stocking fillers [I know, I know - I finished my Christmas shopping in October lol] from The B00k People. Four books for under £6. On @mazon they came to £34.26!!! It might be worth a look as they seem to be doing some 'Cyber Monday' style deals and there is a free delivery code on the code board. :) Plus, I've ordered from them before and have been impressed with the service. :)

    Aw! That's quite cute.
    I sucked my thumb until I was about 12 at least. And then occasionally through my teens. As long as you don't go around doing it in public constantly I don't think it's a big deal!


    Those gingerbread man sets in Boots have a chocolate/fudge/caramel theme I think. I am STILL trying to find the fluffy socks set, but every single Boots I go into has sold out of them. So annoying!

    co-op have got the sock set

    Amey It will only be me one Wednesday. EJAYCOCK has to help decorate the school. She is on the PTA, and only just found out.
    I will look out for your jumper:rotfl:

    Will be there by 10.

    Thanks for the Lush offer. Will have a think and get in touch.

    Am going to see the Coca Cola truck tomorrow night . I do hope it doesn't rain.

    Louise How much are you making of each thing ? It is one of the things that is worrying me. Don't want to end up with lots over, but also don't want to take too little.

    Have made 12 soap balls and 15 hand scub tonight. Am going to do sick cupcakes tomorrow, when we get back from seeing the truck.

    Sorry for any mistakes. Am on phone. Ds is on the laptop.
