That's a brilliant way of putting it pigpen.
We have awful luck with Christmas noone in my family ever dies outside of December one great grandad even kicked the bucket Christmas day the selfish sod! Lol. All the more reason to remember Christmas is about those still here.
Christmas is sparkley lights, too much food, and laughter n the dead aren't much good at any of those.

we've stocked up on baileys Was going to get a bit more for gran but 2nd morrisons we went to was all sold out n no sign of orange baileys at either which is really poo I wanted some more orange for truffles
Oohh and in other news my friends just sent me a pic of our tickets for Christmas craft fair Can not wait! !!!!!

OMO I saw a doe. Must have a look when I get back to normal! I keep thinking all the nice things will be gone as I havn't been out for ages and then have to remind myself it is still OCTOBER and lots of places have to put stock out!!!!!!

A doe is a female deer. ( so Maria and the Von Trapps tell me). And a deer is a stag, so it will do. :rotfl:

Well my little tornado has gone home, (we had him a day early this week).

Walked into town today with him and dd and bought ...... A stag to go in front of my new Habitat light. If I can get the acrylic one from John Lewis the one I got today will be moved.
With the one I am getting from Fiesty it will be 6 stags. ( 8 if you count the 2 cushions)
I may as well get another 2 and only have Stag ornaments in the winter.

The trouble is I won't want to put up any Christmas decs and ruin the look.

Off Stag hunting now.:)

Well our big news here is that on Wednesday I went for my usual estate agent whinge to be told the rest of the chain is still fa nnying around and our vendor didn't want to go anywhere til the 2nd week in December. Now DH works in theatre, as you can imagine December a really rubbish time of year for us! So I said end of November or it would be January and we might not wait around. Well the EA called us in the afternoon to say our vendor is vacating to a caravan so we can move in. We were ecstatic!

And then yesterday we EXCHANGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mega excited! It means we move on 13th November! :eek: ARGH gotta start packing!!!!!

Hi all,
I thought it was time that I formally introduced myself to you all although I feel that I know you all very very well as I have been watching from afar for a while now. Well, since someone mentioned the UNO cards from amazon which I then proceeded to buy, so thank you whoever mentioned them (can't remember sorry!)
I bought some of the Christmas pudding refuse bags yesterday from B&M for 99p, I recall someone looking for those.
I have to say I love reading about what you have all been up to, the trials of life and all :-) but coming here and reading about Christmas has been fantastic. Everyone thinks I'm totally bonkers!
