Hi All,

Hugs OMO xx

Nanamia - the santa dash is for charity. I don't think we'll be dashing, more likely to be strolling

Put everything in the girls art box last night, it looks fab. Hope they like it. Made some more paper decs (heart baskets) whilst watching Celeb last night.

OMO,
My goodness, How awful. Then the idiocy of putting things on FB as well. I have a few not very nice family members and it has been rather fab avoiding them. Life got soooooooo much easier.
Big hugs

I sooooo love your artbox idea.

Fabknitting msgigglewick!
OMO that is so awful for your daughter,it is totally understandable why you are so angry. It’s always difficult whenpeople hurt us but when it’s people so close to us it’s horrible! I don’t blameyou for not having any contact, there is only so many times you can go throughthese things. The only person she will hurt in the end is herselfunfortunately.
I had thesame issue with the Peacocks code, not good really!
Ruth_honey tree shaped crumpets?! GOT tohave!!!
Nanamia I would never say anything to DH ashe is really good and productive, it’s just that nothing really should come inthe way of me and my Christmas decorating :rotfl:
Debndot sorry to hear your van was writtenoff – what a nightmare!

You guys here are such fab bargain hunters that you probably already know about Sainsbury having 1/3 off their xmas range?

To all those putting up xmas trees - I am super envious. We are not having one this year (altho the inlaws will have one).
Enjoy your trees.

FF,
I am sorry about still not knowing what is up with your DH. Big hugs and good luck. And from the other posts here I am gathering you are shutting up your shop? I am sorry if that is the case.

Hi everyone,

Long time missing in action! Nothing major just family life getting in the way, always manage to read just not post.

Getting there now, need to do a playmobil order & then girls are finished. Could do with some stocking fillers for dh.

Left to do;

Make candy sleighs

Make baby jar snowman soup

Would love to find my aunt a little something special but no idea what!

DH's dad & partner - they are seriously the most difficult people in the world. It has been suggested by more than one person a big fat nothing!

Make a photo card with my two girls dressed as elves!

Wrap, wrap & wrap!

I'm sure there's some more but hey

I was wondering if anyone could help? We had booked to stay over night in Birmingham THIS sat but the hotel cancelled on over booking, so should we still go to Bham for the day or thinking of Milton Keynes. We live in Warwickshire. Not particularly going to buy stuff more for to spend time together & christmassy atmosphere and maybe a couple of cocktails! What would people do Birmingham or Milton Keynes or anyone with a better suggestion? thanks!
