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

mrsinvisible

Morning, where does the time go? Seems like I just blink and theres another two pages up. Thanks for the support re. the visa frustration, it is now with the embassy awaiting a decision! I also wear varifocals, and have the same problems with stairs, tv and reading, but there was a deal on yesterdays mse newsletter which got 2 pairs of glasses for £25 delivered, so I ordered a pair of sunglasses with distance lenses and one with near lenses for reading, hope they work, and that they don't get lost (usual practice with me!)
White chocolate trifle sounds yummy, I am inspired. That was a great deal OMO, FP for FM, and nice to have made a friend too.
Saga of greenhouse continues, the base is cut out, half the paving stones are down and it should be ready to build after the weekend.
My little car needs 2 new tyres, so I'm off to find the best deal locally, wish me luck.xxx

B_e_g feel really bad to do this two nights running but my eyes are stinging I'm that tired! Aim to do better tomoz I promise xxx

Hold you to that Nanamia . Only woke up once during the night, visited the bathroom and must have gone straight back off to sleep. When I eventually woke up, looked at the clock 6.20 (or so I thought) - it was actually 8.20 - must have needed it but I cannot say I felt much better for it .

Well done on the necklace set newthrift. Great idea to keep it as a reward for your weight loss - definitely something to aim for.

Good luck with the search for some reasonable tyres mrsi.

Chucking it down here this morning - convincing myself that it is doing the gardens good ie making the grass grow quicker so it needs more cutting but I must admit things do look fresher.

Oh well cuppa will have cooled now so I can drink it then I really need to get a wriggle on.

OMO I need youoooooooo

I recall last year (my memory is shot so if not you then sowwy) when you were giong camping you listed all the stuff you were taking, I have tried to search for it but can't find it, can you pin down approx date for me to look on the old thread?

I've bitten the bullet & bought a tent with bags & mats etc & ordered a blow up mattress but now realise I need so much more. I have a list going but wanted to cross check against yours to see what I have inevitably missed.

Thanks a million

OMO - love that quote :rotfl:
MrsM - I am feeling guilty now I have just seen your post, I have still to do my ironing, I MUST do it tomorrow, unless anyone else wants it? I can offer tea & cake in return ha ha.

Not much to report here today, been very busy at the office today. Chilli and rice for tea which is almost ready.
Made a trip to the 99p store yesterday after being at my Auntie's and they had some chocolates and sweets which we would normally buy for fathers day/birthdays/christmas on offer so I took advantage and brought what we will need - checking the BBE dates of course
Will be needing a Christmas/birthday storage room at this rate.
Also picked up the £10 Pimm's from Morrisons today too (which I saw on the grabbit board yesterday) which is for my Mum's birthday in July.

Post a little longer than first expected sorry. Hope everyone is OK?

Off for tea then off to vote!
