*The Holly and the Ivy* and the You Know What 2013 Chatter Thread.

Flowfy

Sorry to anyone that is having a bad time this week. thinking of you feisty. my dh lost his father at 7pm on new years eve. look after each other. xx

I have been to take the 4 x 4 in for an MOT today, as once it gets icy or snowy the other car won't manage the hill we live on. its going to cost £200 + but I depend on it for ds, dd and getting dh to and from the airport so best not thinking about it really.

Exciting news was that, when I was fetching ds from brass band last night, there was an almighty fuss in the village, with loads of trailers etc, you couldn't get out, you couldn't get in. anyway, there were these mini dressing rooms on trailers. they all had names on the door. when I got in, i sniffed around on the internet and it going to be a mini series of Jamaica Inn, with Ben Daniels and Shirley Henderson. It makes a change from Last of the Summer Wine, which was the other one filmed round here (now finished) They are doing the zombie one, In the Flesh again as well in November, so flowfy will be taking lots of walks with the dog to spy on them all

I missed the end of the first film.
Ds needed picking up. He had been at football training and was soaked.

Popped into the Range (which is next door to the ground) while they got tomorrow's match sorted. Never again on a Saturday :eek:
It was heaving. The queues were massive.

Back home now in the warm watching film 2.

Freespirit while I was in there I saw this cushion and thought of you

Fiesty sorry to hear your sad news and hugs to anyone who needs them.

I have perched myself in our massive comfy chair with a Terry's chocolate orange - only £1 in asda

Well I suppose I should really introduce myself I'm JoJo, 21years old and currently pregnant with my LO very excited but hence why I need my butt kicked into gear a bit with being organised.

So far I've been sorting out toys for the Argos toy exchange so I can prepare and buy some toys all ready for next Christmas.
Brought all my christmas cards - minus a couple of special ones
Brought a works Secret Santa present
Have a notebook with all ideas etc in

Barely even started but trying as much as possible

Welcome, welcome, welcome to SCFC, Boredjellybean and Bambiebell you'll love it here Look forward to hearing all your Christmas planning and share the excitement xxx
Crowdpleaser aaarrrgghh no estate agents! Sending positive vibes your way, the hanging about is awful. You'll have such fun with the wii, DS bought one on gumtree whilst we were at his, spur of the moment purchase, we all had such a giggle young and old Well done on your amazon voucher too xxx
Fluffysox bless you my lovely you are already your LO sounds such good company. I remember feeling incredibly protective of DS when DD was born, constantly making sure he wasn't being overlooked, think it must've been a strong maternal instinct kicking in Mine like Crowdpleaser were both prem babies so have no experience of this last bit pregnancy although my BFF was constantly asked "Have you not had that baby yet?" Drove her crackers! Still feet up and enjoy xxx
Alja you are doing so well now well done. Busy day tomorrow xxx
Freespirit how nice for DS to have been appreciated by DD boss, I really wish they could find a job for him too. They do seem to be a good company to work for Go you, festive baking you are on a roll. Well done xxx
Money Maker thank you for the tip x
Flowfy You are so busy be kind to yourself, like my sister from another mister Freespirit says we are all so guilty of this. Glad you've decided to save some of the ideas for next year Or if you are me the year after or possible the one after that haha. You made me chuckle about the vodka xxx
Katiebee now that your BF has all that space you could pick up a few bit haha x
Mrsinvisible How did you get on at Dunelm? You are nearly there now pressie wise aren't you? Is your trip with the "wrinkles" a turkey and tinsel trip? Ha can't believe you'll be away for DGDs birthday he's gonna miss you (almost as much as you'll miss him!) Did you sort anything out with DS and his flat ? xxx
Always after a bargain I've often thought about you throughout the year Yours and DH stockings will be fab with a £50 limit won't they. Teenagers gifts I agree are tricky for a few years. Saving for a new house, didn't you move this time last year and decorate pretty quick to be ready for Christmas ? Or am I confused? Hope DH is home for Christmas as isn't whisked off. Have you seen the bits in lakeland to do Dr Who cup cakes, thought they looked amazing, think its was you and our moneysavingmumofone LO who were keen xxx
Cherry24 have you thought about doing pots of gold for your unexpected/maybe presents? A token gift x
BloomingTasty I love it xxx
Aliaslotte I'm sadly banned form looking at wrapping paper, ribbons, bows and indeed any form of stationary especially note books especially Paperchase ! X
Justb you are so right, the glossing is dragging on and on and on! There is however light at the end of the tunnel. I can possibly put my wallpaper up on Monday woo hoo. I can't wait to see it up. Then plan the accessories xxx
Pixtotts firstly apologies I've been spelling your name wrong all this time hopeless I am. Oh that sounds like a good day out with you friend, start saving these fairs are very tempting Enjoy X
Marco dog how are you feeling now? There's a lot of yuk about at the moment, we've all had a variety of ailments too xxx
Snugglebunny a good few years ago I worked Christmas Eve in a craft store. I dreaded it but it was brilliant, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Glad work is going well for you xxx
Mrs M such modestly, smoke and mirrors my eye that stocking is going to be a work of art when it's finished. Who is it for? ( ignore me if that too nosey- basically I am toooo nosey ha) xxx
Msgigglewick ha I think that initially sorting is the hardest. Hope you and yours are well and recovered from the yuk xxx
Ruth_honey what did I start? So sorry I just looked at the pictures and took no notice of the sentiment ha. Me all over I've ordered Hocus Pocus for Halloween xxx
Linky I just love your room, clutter free and always so blooming tidy Hope you are feeling better now, there is a lot of yuk about! Did you explain the irony to your cousin about you running our Christmas thread? xxx
Nic exactl, enjoy what's left of your hols, you'll manage cos we always do Good luck with the job applications. Is it too late to order a Christmas sign? X
Picnmix oh no I thought you'd be my friend on the naughty step but no DH to the rescue. I'm glad you've made a good start obviously, just a little green eyed xxx
Murie we've missed you, where've you been? Now that's just greedy two hearing aids, you'll be able to hear us thinking ! Seriously how are you doing with them, I believe they do take some getting used to but are worth it How did DD do on her shopping spree, wasn't it very mse of her to find a voucher? Go girl. There are a few of us on here also doing slimming world, we can cheer each other on Msgigglewick is our slimmer of the year, our resident guru Good luck with it. And don't blooming lurk, post you might be able to hear us thinking but I'm having a little trouble hearing your thought xxx
Cupofchai you've ages yet, Fingerscrossed it's here in plenty of time. I'm not sure on the rules regarding import duty but Im sure somebody will know xxx
Morgy thank you for the tesco craft things tip off, I've put it on my list for next week x
Princess I wish I'd have known Gain and Stacey were on, I love that Christmas special, particularly the singing I totally agree with you and Bunbun they did drag the water scenes out but I was still glued! X
Debndot thank you for the tip off about the 3-4-2 baking things at tesco, must pick up some supplies, didn't get any of the cheap mincemeat, every time I saw it posted it was still full price at my store so will neeeeeed that, particularly now Strictly for home use only of course xxx

Thanks Nanamia, I came back yesterday to a letter for an interview for Tesco. It was today. I haven't heard back, but I'm keeping everything crossed.


It's not to late to order one. The last day is the 31st x
