Happy birthday Freespirit :bdaycake:
Irishrose pretty scary stuff hope she makes a quick recovery
Nic we don't do a traditional xmas dinner as such. we have a roast xmas eve then cold cuts and buffet style munchies xmas day no cooking for me. I don't really think it matters what you eat on the day its all about spending time with the people you care about.
Princesskitty wiggle could be having a growth spurt which is pretty common at around this time. does he seem actually hungry/taking a full feed when he wakes?
asda gift guide is due out of the 9th and hear boots one is due out this weekend? love having actual books to look through for idea as sometime find the websites hard workthis year do something that scares you for courage is not the absence of fear just the knowledge that some things are worth the risk0 -

Sparkler bath bomb to match rose jam shower gel.
so white bath bomb and so white shower gel
hot toddy shower gel.
Gold Fun and snowman fun that smells like the carrot soap that we had at easter
Snowman jelly that is so cute! and smells like carrot soap.
Star light star bright bath melt.
melting snowman bath melt.
baked alaska soap that has snow globe fragrance.

holly go lightly is a big silver bubble bar that is turquoise inside
hedgehog smells like noriko soap from last year.

Happy Birthday Freespirit !!!!!! :beer:I was reading through and kept hoping I'd get to the end and find you hadn't been on yet but my luck was out so it's a bit belated but I've just made it on the right day!
Happy Birthday too to anyone who was overlooked - I'm useless at remembering to check the list.
Traditional Christmas dinner here too - we did go out to one of our local pubs for dinner a couple of years back which was fab but we had traditional dinner there too!
You can tell it's getting nearer - the thread is really starting to motor now. Must admit I do tend to pop back to the old thread from last year sometimes just to see what was happening.It's the most wonderful timeof the year :0 -
Freespirit hope you managed to enjoy some of your birthday and that migraine shifts soon. glad you enjoyed the xmas mag this yr I haven't managed to find one yet.
willow_loulou 13 is a horrible age some are very mature but others still really childish. I did the everyone gets the same last yr so there were no arguements over who got the best present bad enough with birthday gifts at this agethis year do something that scares you for courage is not the absence of fear just the knowledge that some things are worth the risk0 -
Happy birthday freespirit I hope that the migraine shifts quickly.
pigpen probably should have mentioned that carrot soap smells fruity, a bit like um bongo to me.
Well today is day 7 of 11 for me. Luckily I don't start til 12 today. So a nice bath and to blow dry my hair.
Love and hugs to all xxx0 -
Ameyturtle thank you for that Lush list - I love the sound of the butterscotch soap and the hot toddy. Might also have to stock up on flying fox while I'm there (sorry pigpen) and have a good sniff so I can star the magazine for my OH with the things I like in that subtle way0
