Been getting through the last couple of days cleaning and tidying by listening to Feisty's Christmas playlist on youtube, so just wanted to say thank you

A handful more presents to wrap and then I'm done

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

Ok where can I find feistys playlist?

Baby boo I'm sorry to hear your news, thinking of you at this difficult time.

Jj I hope you are divorced from Fred pretty darn soon we can't very well have our festive princess in hospital over Christmas!

Sadly Josh and I had to postpone our coffee date.

Still got 12 of mums presents to wrap. And all of Harper's.

Love and hugs to all xxx xxx

Oh Baby Boo I was thinking of you the other day and wondering how things were going. I'm so sorry the news wasn't better - no wonder you're feeling emotional. Hope you both have a good Christmas despite the worry.

Pixtotts, you gave someone an individual boot???? :rotfl:

Well, the gingerbread house is done (although the gingerbread Christmas tree is in bits in a Tupperware container), the pressies are wrapped, the washing is almost finished and I'm going to paint my nails so peace reigns at the moment. I do still need to plan the order for cooking dinner but I hate cooking at the best of times so I'm putting that off til tomorrow morning before DD and DGD arrive.

Happy Christmas Eve Eve everyone!!!!!

I cant believe its Christmas Eve tomorrow! It's my most favourite day of the year. I have a bit of cleaning to finish, set the table and prepare the food. But the rest of the day will be Christmas movies, hot chocolate, tracking Santa, watching its A wonderful life with oh with a glass of Prosecco in the evening. Just magical :xmastree::santa2::santa2::xmastree:

I hope you all have a great time. I might be on tomorrow, but if not, Merry Christmas everyone x

Peppapig Haha I did give them both boots honest! But one was wrapped boot shaped and the other like a blob
I always wrap shoes individually, makes more pressies .... I do have a mother who used to wrap the batteries for our toys....Every year I got a pack of AA! Actually come to think of it their parting gift when they first dropped me off at uni was £20, the half pack of biros and pack of AA batteries they found in the boot of my dads car! lol.

Think I need to get a lift from Father Christmas to get round all this wrapping

I used to all my wrapping on Christmas eve. I would sit down with a large baileys and watch a good Christmas movie. But I've decided to wrap as I go this year. So glad I did. I have 2 bottles of whisky to wrap and that's me. I've wrote down all I've wrapped as I tend to forget what I have. I feel happier knowing it's done and just need to sneak it down tomorrow night. X

Everything is wrapped, bagged and Christmas eve hamper ready to appear like magic tomorrow afternoon. I'm working from home so will go collect pre ordered food at 9am, pick up last present from whittards, thankfully gift boxed already at 2 and apart from a tidy up, I'm done.

Didn't hear back from jess so hoping she is home already and had no use of me

Evening everyone, i still have loads to do, i should have got it done today but the choice was snuggles with little man and relaxing with DD2 and DS or cleaning, well you can guess which one won, it was bliss poor DD2 she just hasnt stopped having things wrong with her since the birth, luckily the pain in her side has really calmed down and is painful just now and then but now she is in agony with her back and today came out in a very itchy burning rash and another problem i wont air in public, so i sent her up to our pharmacy he thinks it is an allergic reaction luckily not to the co codamol and has given her piriton and some cream, the relief from the cream was virtually instant thank god :cool: I will get a bit done in the morning but then tough, hey ho, who really cares :rotfl::rotfl:i start my christmas week menus tomorrow so have Bacon, Brie and Cranberry croissants to do for brekkie, Chestnut, Bacon and Parsnip soup and Chocolate Mousse for lunch our christmas eve mcdonalds for dinner and then hot chocs marshmallows and cream tomorrow night, i cant wait!

BABYBOO i have been thinking of you both the last couple of weeks, im sorry the news wasnt good, im not surprised you are feeling very emotional, you are probably still in shock with it all. Keep strong, try to keep positive for DH, as this disease feeds on negativity. Im so glad you are still looking forward to christmas and hope you both have a peaceful, relaxing holiday x

TOTALITY join in our lovely thread, we would love to have you, Merry Christmas to you as well

PRINCESSKITTY DHs doctor should have told him this, ibuprofen is well known to be bad for stomachs and should always be taken with or after food, i hope he gets taken seriously at the doctors, and they act promptly. Oh i hope you and wiggle arent ill over christmas, lots of get well quickly vibes being sent to you both, im sure your family will understand about not being able to stay over
