Has anyone seen any lights similar to those dangling in that gorgeous pic please I dont think I have ever seen lights that long to buy before ??

I think they are normal icicle lights that aren't put up tight. They are put up like UUUUUU. Does that make sense ?

Evening everyone, hello to all newbies and delurkers, PIXTOTTS and YUMMYMUMMY, hope everyone is well just had a quick scoot through 4 pages, been in bed the last couple of days with a bad ibs attack, just got up for a break from my bed

NANAMIA aah thankyou so much yes she didnt want to change meds again, she didnt like it last time i asked to change, i dont know why??? i wanted to try the ones that dissolve on your tongue that someone on here mentioned but she didnt want to know just said come back in a month and we will see :mad: Love your wallpaper, you sound very upbeat now that it is all coming together, and your cakes, i just love your style as usual, gorgeous!! Aah how lovely of DS and DD to lift your spirits like that. I hope you have a relaxing weekend planned (NAG NAG)
PICNMIX oh my lovely how awful, dont let them get you down so much sending you lots of hugs, and for DD too hope you get something sorted for her, bless her
GETTINGTHEREQUICKLY thankyou for that, yes she would be going with a tour group, she has now decided to give it another year and go to mexico, i do feel for the people like your relatives, it is them who suffer through no fault of their own, it must be so hard if everything has doubled. I do hope the curfews lift soon and they can get back to normal
SNUGGLEBUNNY thanks for the yankee tip, hope you have a good weekend at work

Freespirit thought there must be something up I imagine its the stress of the last few weeks catching up, I had a day in bed yesterday (mostly) thought it was going to be worse than it was thankfully! Just needed a catch up I think. Well we will be ready for some answers about your migraine meds at your next appointment ! How are the new pain killers working?
DS and DD have a weird sixth sense, since being little and it's a two way thing so has come in very very useful Take today I'd finished the cake, txt photos to DS and DD as they like to see the finished product. DS I'd txt to his iPad which was at home and within two minutes I got a text from him asking for my photobucket details as he was telling his mate about my cakes. He wasn't home and hadn't seen the iPad photo. Weird I'm texting him about a cake whilst he's talking to his mate about them
There has been very little done in the living room today, catch up day there too, tools put back where they lived etc. Sunday the joiner is coming to fit the doors, dear neighbour is coming to replace light fittings, sockets etc. next week (middle I think) wall paper will arrive and blinds will be fitted. Then can have a proper look for curtains, rug and cushions (one I've a sample of the paper so get the right green) Its all coming together I'm such a lucky girl xxx
Quite a relaxing weekend planned we've a home game tomorrow (football) will wrap up and shout for 90 mins, always makes me feel better:) Hoping to spend some time chatting with DD, DGD2 and DH delightful xxx

Nanamia I really glad your lounge is getting there
Freespirit I also have IBS and you have my sympathy. It is such a misunderstood condition. So many people I know just don't get how it can affect you. xx

Linky our posts must have crossed this afternoon. Wow you have been busy again, really don't know how you manage to fit it all in. Think you have made a good decision and it'll give you something to plan for next year Half the reason I've not ordered Kirsty's book- I've that many things I've wanted to do for the last couple of years and have got around to it, this is the year I will tho, specially with you keeping me on my toes task wise. Thank you xxx

Pixitotts hi, welcome to our little haven full of Christmas spirit. That hall really is amazing isn't it ?
Rebel Hedgehog It's good to have you posting more often I love your input. I decorate my kitchen too, for the same reason, I spend a lot of time in there I have baubles tied with ribbon (all matching kitchen colours) tied to the kitchen unit handles, bowls (like fish bowls) filled with baubles and fairy lights and last year I had a piece of dowel up at the window which I hung baubles with fishing wire string - I loved that xxx
Lalagomay I blame Nigella too, wouldn't have it any other way x
Mrs Hayes so pleased DSs parents evening went well, it's reassuring isn't it You are going to be busy, that's a long day tomorrow. Hopefully you'll get chance to relax on Sunday xxx
Peppapig I'm not quite sure it's legal but as the saying goes "what you hear on the thread stays on the thread" nudge nudge wink wink xxx
MKGIRL thank you so much for the photos. I'm loving it. I've got a primark list running now and I know exactly what I'm looking for. You are a treasure x
Picnmix argh I'm so sorry to hear you are having a tough time. Sending virtual gentle hugs, specially for you DD. Yes some people are just horrid Hoping the bossy madam is dealt with very soon! xxx

He hasn't seen the wreath up yet. I expect I will get a little shake of the head, implying I am mad :rotfl:
He did ask why I was naming the stags after dead people :rotfl:
I told him it was a nice thing to do. He just hold me I was mad. :rotfl:

Nanamia

Haha he's a legend xxx
