My tree decorators!

Feisty is there a way to play the playlist continuously without it stopping after every video? Does that make sense ? X

Sorry, didn't post yesterday as I had a (for me) busy, organised day. Yep, I made a list of all the things l needed to do but didn't want to, and gave myself 30 minute bursts per task, after 2 tasks a 15 minute coffee break and then off to go again. As a reward when each task was finished I got a biscuit with my coffee! (god, how sad, but it worked and l got loads of horrid stuff done.)
Today l ache all over, lol.
OMO so glad you got your decorations done, it looks festively elegant. and your DD too, sorry is hard at her age, so another biggie.
Pigpen, wowser tree, and l agree spray the cobwebs gold and tell everyone how expensive and unique they were.!
Nanamia , sorry about the sleep fairy, dreamland tonight l hope.
I took photos of my decorations but l couldn't get them on the screen, will have to have another go.
I need to go shopping tho, now, as l hear that Tesc* have Aberlour whisky on special offer.
My two Christmas bashes were both good, but what a party pooper l have become. Ready for home and bed by 9 30! (pm that is too).
Coffee and toast then shopping and back to deliver local cards.

Just spotted on Twitter that there's an Elf-a-long this afternoon! At 3pm, start your DVD of 'Elf' and watch it along with hundreds of others across the country...
The cat bought this DVD for DH last Christmas and we've not seen it yet, so I might join in.

Got some brownies baking in the oven. Might be for gifts, or could be a tasting batch

More positive today, thanks to my mothers neighbours pi$$ing me right off. I've never got on with them but always had to be "pleasant" as my mum and dad had to live next door. I did go about 6 years ignoring them but called a truce when my dad was ill. Well this morning I received a Christmas card which was individually bought [not part of a pack]. It showed a fireplace with an empty armchair next to it with a small single present on it. Inside it was written hee hee! Well considering my dad passed away in March I cannot even bring myself to repeat the the language that left my lips earlier. And these excuses of humans are in their eighties. Showed my middle DS just incase I was being over sensitive and his reaction was the same.

God there are some ar$€holes in this world.

I called my mum to check what her card was and it was normal, so that is one blessing.

Made me decide that Christmas is back on in our household, especially for my dad's memory.

Sorry, needed to rant and get it out my system.

Pink steps I'm left speechless by that.
It shows just what twisted sad dos they are that at this busy, supposedly happy time, they took the trouble to be so mean.
Ok so it seems I'm not speechless! but I am astounded!

That is appalling. What a nasty thing to do.
