So excited - have decided on Cologne for Christmas Market visit. There's a chocolate museum and Lindt shop - worth it just for that!!
Will be keeping my eyes open for good deals. Am I allowed to be this excited for next Cmas already?!!:j:j
Right I need to make spread sheets, you are all making me feel so inadequate:o

You are absolutely allowed to be excited for next christmas already...... the holly & the ivy thread is the place to do it!!!! :beer:

Msgigglewick - hope your head gets better soon, I've got a funny sinus thing going on - head hurts and feels a bit swimmy but I hate going to drs so hoping it will sort itself out!
Our snow is back too!!!!

I popped on to the old thread today to check something and saw so many names we don't see anymore.

Has anyone else noticed how many posters have disappeared lately.

Weeclicks vanished, as did disabled_NCIS_fan.

I know there are more, but names elude me.

I am sure they are all fine, but I started worrying.

How silly is that. They are probably all fine, leading busy life's and just not feeling Christmassy.

Hope you're feeling better msgigglewick ? X


I did notice there was a lot missing from the thread OMO, I suppose it was always going to get quieter after Christmas. I love keeping in touch with you all though, and seeing what bargains you get.

Fiesty- see we both have our items featured on the front page of the craftybums website! Ours are next to each other. I love your paper cutting, it's amazing x

We finally have snow. That's the first since I moved here. There has been feet and feet of the stuff where we used to live (Aberdeenshire) so am glad not to be there anymore. Kids managed to make a snowman, but I think the rain is due. X

I haven't been on here for ages but I used to be on the Let It Snow forum last year.....I haven't had chance to see all the pages yet but I've seen some familiar names. I might not get on here much (I've been doing silly hours at work 7 days a week since Christmas) but want to join in again as this helps to keep me going.

Merry Christmas 2013 to one and all :snow_grin

I don't do Valentines day because I'm single, but when I was with my ex I did think it was a con. In fact I hated it. I would rather do something in June for no reason, than pay double in Feb because you should.

Thank you lovely Before we were both 'featured' I spotted your latest owls, I am a very much in love with them

It's cold and it makes me moody :mad: May go and sit in a boiling bath just to feel some other sensation then freezing!

Well I had to re-organize my work room today to accommodate the in laws delivering me a dresser tomorrow. Was only supposed to take an hour, but instead took 3! Thank goodness I didn't go to the gym first or else I would still be moving furniture about.

Hugs to anyone that made need them x

Just heard from Pinksteps and said I would forward her news.

It is her Ds' 16th birthday today, and his legs are mending well.

Sadly she found out on Friday her Dad is in the very last stages of heart failure. They are now just taking everyday as it comes.


I have sent her love and best wishes from everyone. xx

She is hoping to get on here on Friday to have a catch up.
