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

Happy Birthday Arthien. :bdaycake:

Freespirit - I'm the same, I went straight into panic mode but luckily my BFF turned up just at the right/wrong moment grabbed a mop and said "let's get stuck in then!" She then packed all the wet clothes out of machine into a bag and took it home to rewash. Not sure what I'd do without her!

Chrissy - Hope you can get a prescription sorted.

Arthien

Thanks for the birthday wishes ladies, you're very kind!

I've just been to Morrisons for my £5 fruit and veg, I've got 5 coupons and spent 3, so I'm doing ok! I think I'll have to plan the next 2 a bit better or I'll end up with lots of random things and having to concoct some very odd meals!

I got an email from Twinings about their secret sale if anyone is interested, there's some really nice things that would make lovely gifts, and even some Christmassy bits too! :j

Hopefully the link works, let me know if not and I'll change it.

Hi everyone,

You might remember me, might not from the old thread. I had a little girl in Nov 2012 Mali & she keeps me very busy now a days!

I've come back to the thread with my begging bowl! Does anyone live in London, I need something from Harrods for my anniversary but they haven't responded to my email!

Oh Mrs-Moneypenny I'm loving your pics! Love the little angels too.

I'm on the look-out for a little angel. But I'm being very fussy about what I want as it's a special Christmas angel I want. I used to work with a little girl who died a few years ago now a few days before Christmas. It was a horrible Christmas for me that year And I find it hard every year in school on the last days before Christmas Holidays.

I bought 2 little angels when I was on holiday in Spain the following July as I just thought of this wee one when I saw them, however ever since that Christmas I've been looking for a special Christmas angel with Blonde hair and blue eyes. Just something that I can put on the christmas tree and have it there if you know what I mean :-/

See just talking about it, I'm away off to see if I can find one on the net now, see what prices are like

mrs-moneypenny

irish rose that shop is in sheringham and im back there next week, if you see anything like what youre looking for in the photos i dont mind christmas shopping for you.

IrishRose12

Aw thank you so much for the offer. I'll keep that in mind and have another look maybe.

I've been looking for almost 7 years now but I know I'm being too fussy.

mrs-moneypenny - Lovely pics. I love wondering around Christmas shops dreaming of a time when I can afford to fill my house with all those decs.

freespirit - Yes DH managed to fix the washer. :j Apparently I'd been a little too eager when emptying the filter and had pulled the pipe loose. It was a quick 2 minute job to put it back on. I blame the dogs, I wouldn't need to empty the filter so often if they didn't moult so much on their blankets.:rotfl:
