*Stop The Cavalry* It's The 2014 Christmas Chatter Thread

I hate going downstairs freespirit when people are coming down behind me - I get the vibes that they are thinking 'for goodness sake will you just blinking well get out of the bloomin way'. I wonder where all these similarities will end eh? :rotfl:

Lovely to see you posting again Ruth. One of the books that I have read recently and enjoyed on kindle (it was free at the time) Twenty Eight and a Half Wishes by Denise Grover Swank. I think it is the first in a series so will wait until the other are free or very cheap .

Well that lovely sunshine is in hiding this morning and we have a 'weather warning' for this afternoon. First load of washing just finished - now do I hang it out and risk it or turn the house into a chinese laundry?

Have a good day everyone.

Oh Dear.

I bought Robbie some Fisher Price Little People bits on FB yesterday. It cost £10 and in the picture was a house a castle and some people/cars.
Only that is not what I picked up :eek:

I picked up -

A house and contents
A castle and contents
A construction site and contents
A railway track, train and contents
A talking zoo and contents

Which is amazing for £10. But now I need to move to a bigger house just to store it all !!!!! :rotfl:

CHRISSYG - Phew that's a pretty packet for those activites at Center Parcs! I've always wanted to go to one but heard they are quite expensive. Still, everyone I know that has gone has always really enjoyed it.

Freespirit so glad you had a great time at the Harry Potter tour - I would be as excited as you were! Thanks for the heads up on the tour time, I think i'm going to bite the bullet and go! Wow you've been busy! Just looking at your list has made me tired! Although it is inspiring.

Nanamia please don't worry it wasn't thoughtless at all, like you say i've already heard lots of nightmare stories, I think i'd be terrified regardless! I know that one day it will just happen and I will get through it like everybody else, it's just a fear of the unknown! Mrsmoneypenny your 3rd labour sounded amazing - if only they were all that quick! Thank you so much both for your supportive words, most of the time i'm very strong in my head about it and feel that I can deal with anything that happens, I just have the occasional panic.

Mrs invisible sorry to hear you're having such a stressful time with the visa's, they really do make these things difficult for people! I hope you are managing to get it sorted out ok.

B_e_g I love putting washing out on the line but I do worry a bird will poop on it!! That's very unfortunate. I also always have to shake my clothes about 10 times when taking them off the line so that I don't take any unwelcome bugs back in the house!

OMO I think that is a clear case of getting more than you bargained for! :rotfl: What a find though, £10 for all of that is amazing. Hope you manage to find a storage space for it!

Freespirit I noticed that one of your challenges was 'Make an unusual trifle' so I am being nosey and asking what was unusual about it?

OMO What a bargain getting all Little People bits for £10 :j and well done on the caravan savings :T

I have had the strangest evening. I bought Fingers a few t-shirts on FB. Went to the house to collect them and stayed 2 hours. It was mad. The lady that was selling the tops was a complete stranger but somehow we just clicked. I really feel like I have made a friend.
We just laughed the whole time.

It may seem strange but I feel like my BFF is telling me to move on. She will always be my BFF in my heart, but it was just so strange how I met a complete stranger and just knew that we would be friends for a long time.

There is no change in BFF. I really don't think that is going to be a change. The right side of her brain is showing no life at all. If it was going to show any improvement it would have happened by now.

Am going to read back now. I just had to share my strange day with you all.

Evening everyone, i made a Butterbeer Cake today (should have been sundays bake but was out) and just had a piece mmm lovely, making the most of it if DS is dragging me kicking and screaming onto the 5:2 next week :rotfl:

3FORHOLIDAYS he means different flavours than your average trifle, like white chocolate and lemon, m&m trifle, irish cream trifle, oreo trifle, you can find them on pinterest (still to do)
