Gettintherequickly I can't believe how organised you are planning craft things to do on your hols I too have had a few things shipped from Hong Kong and been delighted at the speed they've arrived. Have fun in Egypt x

I'm not:rotfl:Relies kids, 3 & 5, so I will be having a bonding session with them. They are great kids and don't take any notice of the fact they only see me for a couple of weeks a year, so thought this could be a fun thing now they are old enough.:j

:bdaycake:HAPPY BIRTHDAY JJ :bdaycake:

Hello NIC and SNUGGLEBUNNY lovely to see you both on here
DD1 gave me a pedicure tonight, ooh twas lovely, now got nice painted toenails, she is absolutely loving this course, its so nice watching her do something she enjoys, i know she has a good job with company car but sometimes it gets her down so much, she has such a spring in her step, even though she is tired from getting tubes, trains and studying Hope everyone has had a good day, night

good morning everyone, awake early, 17 day countdown begins , hope it is a good day for us all. A bit of sun would be helpful.
Feisty, I hope DH gets this breathlessness sorted out, and that his heartbeat becomes regular again. If worrying about other things works for you, go for it, hugs to you both.
Nanamia where do you fly from? then I know which side to wave to you as we pass mid-air?
Friday already, must try to check fridge and freezer, and arrange some inventive meals so that I don't waste food., and maybe even save some money by not buying food I don't need.
DD will take and use anything I leave so it won't be thrown out, which is good. Must remember also to give her and her DH a lesson in plant care as they will be in charge of greenhouse and garden while I am away. (inserts smileys, worry, hopeful, grateful, unconvinced-but trying not to show it)
Coffee calling me xxx

what a week! so thankful its friday! trips to hospital again, things breaking and horrid news on tv.

I've been reading just not posting so hugs to those who need... feisty i hope your dh gets the help he needs, sometimes they need a push in the right direction.

so jealous of you lot off on holiday, one day that will be me! lol

I've been doing lots of hunting elf and xmas bits out this week, ordered a few xmas activities which were reduced in the works last night, found a number of other things i'll buy along the way too. oh and ordered dd4 the princess sofia doll for her bday in november (and the pink shiny bike shes been swooning over every time we went to tescos... apparently santa is strong and he will bring it her, she tells me with tears in her eyes, how could i not lol)

To all of you that do elf on the shelf, would you consider buying accessories for him (Elf door for wall etc) or do you just make them yourself? Also would you buy an Elf in a pack (with accessories)?

msgigglewick

i made my own elf (and a few for others on here) and made the elf packs up too so probably the wrong person to answer here LOL also run an elf/xmas group on fb too. lots of people on there has different tastes, so if you make them up i'll happily put a link on there for yours too
