In the middle of trying to make hm oils for Xmas gifts, flipping bottles have really long necks, so they ended up with a load of crud in them when I put them through the dishwasher, cue much washing, rinsing and now another dishwasher cycle :mad: why are these things never straight forward? There's a reason we have shops that sell presents, argh. Now worried about the bottle I have half full and not closed yet. Just hope they use the oils quickly

Ok, read lots of scary things about hm oils and possible bacterial growth, so, seeing as I don't really want to poison anyone, I think I'm gonna go the shop direction instead. As I won't see the recipients until after Xmas, I'll get those gifts after 25 th :money::o

Good morning NSDers,

Are we feeling festive yet? Not sure I am quite there to be honest. Presents are wrapped, stockings are filled and food is stocked. I just need to get a few more things today and then we're ready for the big day. Pantomime and a visit to Father Christmas today are sure to make me feel a bit :santa2:

I need to report a few NSDs ~ 3, 4 & 5 to be precise! So I'm up to NSD #5 as of yesterday. Quite pleased with that as I may even make my goal by the end of the month. I know today won't be one but I should be able to squeeze in another 5.

Hope everyone is well. Pouring with rain here and quite cool for our part of the world. Merry Christmas!

*brushes stray wisps of hair away from face with back of very red, very wrinkly hand* Remind me to be anything but a laundress next year; I thought I'd take advantage of the situation & took in some washing to make a bit of extra cash.. Big Mistake No1. Have you tried getting dirt out of goat skin; it's really difficult they've got really sensitive ears & don't like the bubbles popping but that's where the most crud is, on the ear lobe, speshlee when it's this weather & they were allowed to visit The Stones for the Solstice.
Big Mistake No2. Using that green bar stuff on Big Mistake No1! Is Hubert related to the Zummazett Goats, cuz they ate everything not nailed down too! Big Mistake No3. Chasing after BM1 after BM2 & getting a face-full of soapy bubbles therefore starting off my allergies


Still, every cloud n'awl that. With puffy eyes all weekend & the performances (Kerri, I saw different sides of you that I never dreamt I would Might I suggest you double the layers next time Dear!) I didn't get a chance to leave the wash tub & have added another three nsds to my personal stash, so please show BMF recording a new total of 10 please. Now of you'll excuse me, I need to sort out the kids...

14 in the bag for me! I'm now in Shropshire with the family, sheltering from the rain! Yesterday was a NSD for me, and I'm going to declare one for today as well!

Got a surprise at work on Friday when I was given an iPad! It's only until the summer, but I'm very excited to have on for free!

If I don't pop in again until after Christmas, I wish you all a happy and peaceful holiday. Xx

We collected our Christmas goodies from M&S this morning, all paid for by M&S vouchers.

It would have been a NSD, but one of today's Kindle daily deals was right up Mr GG's street, so I downloaded it for him. But tomorrow and Christmas Day should be NSDs

It's another NSD here, my office is next to a large supermarket which was absolutely packed and tense so I stayed out of the way for a no spend day

NSD 21 today

But that's my best side BigMumma :rotfl:

Well feeling a bit better today, braved M&S to get the trimmings to go with the turkey, and DM stepped in and picked up some other trimmings for me in the way of beers :beer:

Think I have an idea of what to get those who were going to have HM gifts (instead of a dose of botulism :eek:) Although just hope they don't all sell out now.

Few more gifts to wrap but at least I'm wfh tomorrow so don't need to brave the traffic, although might head to M&S near closing to see if there's any reduced goodies.

Great news about the ipad Flubbery, enjoy it
