* Walking in a Winter Wonderland * - It's the 2015 Christmas Chatter Thread

Went to the hospital last night, he is quite the most adorable baby since my own were born (I've definately turned into a gran haven't i! )
All the little newborn stuff they had in the hospital bag was too small so he's already gone up to 0-3month size he is so contented he was just looking round taking everything in. Should be going home today.
I need to get the dress I'm knitting for a friends expected niece finished so I get break out the blue wool.

Hope everyone is well,

Morning all!

Congrats Mrs M, bit of a bruiser delivered there, just hope that he doesn't continue to be big for his age!

This weather is wonderful, hope it lasts.

Got a couple of bits on M&S site last night, £11 for a jacket, reduced from £32 & £7 for jim jams, reduced from £18, so that's another Christmas & birthday sorted. Just had a look at my spreadsheet on cost versus expenditure, £270 v £85, happy with that :j

Got an EMG on Wednesday morning, hospital phoned me yesterday to confirm and also check if I have been an Ebola area in last 21 days! While I applaud those who have taken the decision to volunteer out there, I'm not qualified to do so:eek:

I think he will. Me and DH are average heights I'm 5"7"
And all our kids are taller than me, the boys are 15 and 20 they are 5'10" and 6'5" so we seem to have acquired the tall gene somehow!

Congrats Mrs M on your new arrival.


Do any of you think your OH just aren't with it ?? We went to Tesco I had a voucher £6 off a £60 spend, my total came to £58 so told my darling hubby to get a pack of batteries to make up the difference ,simple enough I thought . I continued to pack and pay but when we got out I had a look at the receipt and he had picked a pack of 12 AA 's for £12 SERIOUSLY who pays £1 a battery !!!

CHRISSY sorry it did make me giggle, BUT i would have been fuming too, especially when you are trying to save money, my kids have made mistakes like that before and it was always when i was really short of money :mad:

My first baby was 9lb 10oz and since 3 month old he has been on the 25th percentile. He is nearly four now, quite tall but very slim.
Well done on the shopping. I am completely uninspired at the moment. Got birthdays galore in May too.

I had the exact same conversation with the assistant in Asda today. I took back a jar of peanut butter that DH had chosen. It had already been opened. I would try to take the batteries back for a refund.

DS1 wants a nintendo DS for his birthday. I am clueless. Would like to buy one second hand, but worried it may not work properly. Worried that if I buy a new one, he might break it. Have seen a seller on Facebook that sells reconditioned ones.....whatever that means :rotfl:

Had an appointment at the bank today. Mum looked after my little boys for the afternoon. She was delighted that our baby now 17 months was calling "Nana nana" when she went out of sight.

mrs-moneypenny Congratulation! :j


I started writing a long reply last weekend but accidentally deleted it twice, I had read back and replied to people and all sorts... but I'm not doing it again so hugs to all that need them, and those that don't :P

I am going to warn now I am most of the way down a large glass of baileys... I usually mix mine with milk but my dad poured it so neat it is... :beer:

My grans funeral went well, I made it through my speech thingy, the church was very full which was rather scary, but it went smoothly, lots of people have said how nice it was and how well we did so that's nice.

New avon round is going well, have kept her customers and managed to gain a few extras already and I've only done a tiny amount so far . Etsy has also been going really well, I discovered facebook networking and well that must be doing ok I've sent 2 items to America already this month ! and a couple in the UK I actually had 2 sales in 1 day which is like a miracle! 1 every few months is usually cause for celebration

Now I know I've said it in here before that I've met a thing of the male variety... well... I have... again... actually we met a while ago now, but it's good and he's nice

Our chickens are awesome little creatures were getting daily eggs... I don't know if any of you saw Britain's got talent tonight... well I want a chicken agility course!! I've seen them in a pet shop! lol.

I don't know what else I need to say... haha

Good morning from a post-holiday Mrsl . Thank you everyone for your good wishes to me and my family, you will never know just how much they mean.
The holiday was great, just what l needed, DGS was a pleasure to be with, and his dad and other grandma and l had a lovely time. We went to the outlet centre in York, the aircraft museum, (yawn, but Grandma sisters went to the NAAFI for coffee and cake, yumm) Eden Camp, Scarborough and Bridlington. The lavender farm we will visit in Summer, we didn't really have time.
Mrs M that is some armful of grandson you have there! congratulations to all concerned.
Pixtots, so glad you got through the funeral and that it went as well as these events allow.
Hoping for a Skype this morning from the China crowd, then into the greenhouse for the rest of the day. Hugs to everyone and hot cross buns all round.
