    Hello one and all! I've finally managed to catch up with you all again after a busy few months. It's my birthday tomorrow so after that I can definitely start thinking about Christmas again! :j

    It's so nice to have a thread where everyone is friendly and there is a common goal in life: to have an amazing Christmas no matter what the budget may be :)

    I was in poundland yesterday and they were selling Christmas chocs 3 for a pound that go off in september 2014 so not really the first Christmas bits more the last of last years!!

    Hugs to all. Missed the bad weather and glorious sunshine now. Overall we've been so lucky with the he weather this year.

    I'm not sure if I'm just on winter prep on Christmas prep but I feel a need to get great stocks in and buy at least 2 of everything. . .. no idea why

    Well I've had an eventful evening. The guy from pest control turned up early to spray the wasp nest. "Great" I thought that's one job off the list. Half an hour later my washing machine broke! I had a swimming pool in my kitchen and living room! I couldn't make this stuff up! Ha ha. DH popped home from work to turn off the water supply and said he'll see if he can fix it tomorrow.

    Luckily I have had messages from a few friends and family members offering to do washing for me after I posted about it on Facebook! I had to laugh, I'd have clothes all over Wrexham and no idea who had what! :rotfl:

    DD is much better now im taking her to the doctor's tomorrow to see if they will prescribe her Gaviscon as its costing me a small fortune!

    Anyone planning a bit of decorating B & Q have an offer on Crown paints 3 x 2.5ltr emulsion for £30:D we are going to have a look after work cos I get a further 20% discount.

    On the Christmas front I spent a bit of time last night wrapping so im all caught up.
