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

System

Hi all ,
I have been reading just not in the mood to post but things are settling down now.

Two weeks ago some nutjob failed to stop at a give way and ploughed into the rear wheel area of my car. The car was written off but they didn't take it away they just paid me the value of it and left it up to me to sort ,a local garage is fixing it at the moment cos I really like my car. So although its been a strain its all working out now.

My dd has to go and have her ankle x-rayed again on Friday as its swollen and causing her a lot of discomfort, its been two months since her cast came off but its just not easing.

My work transfer has been cancelled and although I was disappointed I will be changing to weekends in the new year so that's something at least.

On the Christmas front we are done [even the dogs pressies] just the fresh food to get nearer the time ,everything is wrapped and I've even posted my cards. The tree is up and the pressies [except the dogs] are all around it. The only thing left to do is put the icicle lights up outside next week.

I know she said she had stuff going on but I am really worried we haven't seen OMO for such a long time. I sent her a pm a while back but want to say publically, this thread is all down to you & I hope that all that's keeping you away is that you are busy with good things & not bogged down with bad

Yep perfect thanks ChrissyG that was quick

I'm about 15 pages behind to catch up on and not started Christmas shopping yet!! Going to have to go turbo I think next week.

Morning,I have not had a minute to get on. My fb page is keeping me sooo busy. I have been painting everyday for weeks. I also have another page and have fudge to make next week for orders too. As usual I've bitten off more than I can chew. But it pays for the Xmas pressies, so can't complain.
Im also working part time and running after the kids. I hope to have most done by the first week in December so I can enjoy the season.

We plan to put our tree up on Saturday. Both me and the kids can't wait :xmastree:



Right, back off to my crafty cave, will try and read back later x
