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

Aww Boo I realise that. Have you read Choccymooses posts about the voice recognition app her DS is using. I thought that might be just what you could use. We love to here your preperations and news, I hate the thought of you being without a voice on here so to speak.
Thank you for the kind words, I do think of you often. But it's well known on here, I am cheeky, bossy and a born interrogater- but hey ho it's just me. xxx

Linky where are you? Hope DD is feeling much better, I'm sure you are excited and making plans for the weekend but I miss you xxx

I'm going to go back and catch up with posts from this evening,
however Nanamia I should be out like a light with the meds I'm on!
I went away with my family as my dh had only been in his job for five months and without going into too much detail, he decided not to take a holiday. Well I came home and my dh had been given a weeks notice, there was nothing or any reason any discussion that this was going to happen
I know that there are many other members on this forum that have troubles, I am doing my best to stay positive, it's good to come here read everybody's news and forget life's problems
Thank you Baby boo xxx

I've heard peanut butter works well too. (shudder! Hate those horrible creatures. Won't even mention the 'M' word in this house anymore)

Just had the Lidl newsletter and it looks like the hamper sellophane is coming soon. http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/SID-19FFE64E-C1AA8F12/www_lidl_uk/hs.xsl/our-offers-2491.htm?action=showDetail&id=7489
Forgot I bought some last year. I found it today. I bought silver, gold and red. The silver is very pretty-hard to tell on the roll. It's 5m on each roll and I think last year was 99p a roll too.

Thank you very much for this. I shall pop in on Thursday as I need some for about 10 pots of gold, maybe a hamper or two? I think I'll pick up a couple of years worth at that price!

Finally managed to get Halloween packed away yesterday & have started decorating one room.... the bathroom. My poinsettia shower curtain from China is now proudly hung up, surrounded by different tones of Christmas red towels & bath mat & 4 Christmassy rubber ducks :cool: :xmassmile

Thanks to all who offered advice on the neighbours card too X

The gold foil wrap I had from there last year has Merry Christmas written in nice swirly writing. Worth a look in poundland if you have one nearby because they had some sellophane bags(20 per pack) which would be great for pots of gold. Again, this was last year-not been in to look this year yet. I had two designs-clear with white snowflakes and clear with gingerbread men. They came with ribbon strips to tie them and would be big enough to hold a mug. I'm just not certain where I put mine...:o

Morning, off to catch up in a minute.

I'm finding things hard just now. There is a person in my life making me miserable. I'd love to never speak to them again, but my daughter dances with her daughter at our dance school, and we often travel to competitions together.
She is just incredibly Huffy towards me and anther friend, for no real reason. She has been like this since I met her 11 months ago. One day we are friends and she is chatting away, the next she has her back to us. Our daughters dance in the same group, so are against each other every week. Some days my Dd does better, the next week, her dd does better. But the thing that had upset me is that now her dd is ignoring my dd. she had her back to her all last night at dance class, and when my dd spoke to her she just hmph'd and turned away. She is 7 and I think she is mimicking her mums behaviour. I just don't know how to deal with all this, as I've never experienced anyone as huffy since school.
It's upsetting me, and I wish I couldn't let it.

It's coming up to a year (friday) since my mum passed. So I think I'm just over emotional.

Sorry, I feel better getting that off my chest.

Fiesty, that's crap about the rent, could you stick it out til Jan and see how Christmas goes, then make a decision?

Will go catch up properly x

Feisty, have you thought about space sharing? Rent out half your space to someone who does similar but not the same trype of product? Another option is to advertise art for sell spaces, then you get a comission on any sales.

Here are the terrible two, Teddy was 6 months there, she is 10 months and about twice the size now. DS and her are the best of friends.

Chrissy I'm not clued up on the options available, apologies, does DD have other options ? These last few months have been such a strain on you all, she has been through so much xxx

This was the only viable option we were given, we have had a chat and im trying to persuade her to work once a week at a local charity shop with me ,im hoping to start working at one thats 5 mins away.

She is unlikely ever to be able to work independently but i could support her and maybe in time if the staff are ok i could let her try doing a few hours without me there, just so she can have some independence.

On a christmas note i asked her to add things she would like to my amazon wish list BIG MISTAKE !!! when you add things it tells you that you have already purchased that item so she now knows she's getting the Dr who DVDs she wanted .
