Evening everyone,

:bdaycake:HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY WIGGLE :bdaycake:

MURIE haha that is so funny it reminds me of the time DD2 asked her OH to walk Thumper into town to pick up a train (christmas one) thinking it would be small, poor OH picked it up and it was so big he had to balance it on the pushchair and walk all the way home with it :rotfl:of course DD2 found it hilarious she is always doing it, she ordered a gazebo for her stall at a summer fayre thinking it was a really good price when it came it turned out it was for children :rotfl::rotfl:so far too small to use, oh dear i hope your lovely kitty wont find it

PEPPAPIG glad chemo went ok and you are feeling ok, your DGD sounds so sweet i love the sound of her shop

MANDCO i absolutely love the doggy name very original i know when i saw how many things are connected to fibro i was shocked as well, at least your gp is on the ball, mine hasnt even asked about mine since the diagnosis she just doles out painkillers for it

04624181 oh no it sounds like you have caught the virus now doesnt it, i hope you and DD feel better soon! Those nail varnish crackers look lovely and a bargain

PLUMDUFF those jumpers are amazing, well done for getting the photos on

MRS_RYAN some good bargains again

Jingle bells, yaaay, off l trot to 'research' pinterest.
Plumduff, me too, knitting addict, just do baby clothes now, as heavier items hurt my neck/back. My late DH once bought me a knitting machine, his reason was 'you cant take that everywhere you go, click-clacking needles'. It didn't last long, l gave it to fave coz, as her children were young and quick jumpers were the order of the day. I knit or crochet at airports, on planes, and find it is a great icebreaker, as well as relaxing for me.
Do washing lines have a built in snap factor? in the past 3 weeks all 3 of my lines have broken, fortunately l always now have double lines, so as 1 snaps the other keeps the washing off the ground.

Free- theres no chance the kitten wont find it- its too big to miss!! I laughed at your DD- bet her OH didn't though!!
Mrs Ryan- your DH is going to be happy with those gifts.








Mrs I- that is some clever thinking to double the washing lines!

mandco

Its a girl :j no more details yet as poor sdd had a pretty rough time and was fairly out of it when she called but otherwise both mum & baby are ok. Can't wait to see her

04624181 wishing you a speedy recovery Sickness bugs are the worst

Freespirit My gp won't give me painkillers yet as I can cope with the pain most days and he said they don't like to unless its really bad due to the side effects of longterm use. He does keep trying to get me to take anti d's as apparently they are meant to be helpful in managing some of the symptoms of fibro but I'm not keen on going down that route yet.

Peppapig

Congratulations MANDCO :j. Are you a nan or a gran? Looking forward to when you know her name.

murie

Congratulations Mandco !!

mandco

I'm going with nan as far too young to be gran yet

forgot to say earlier but in sains they had lots of toiletry gift sets reduced mostly bayliss & harding but a few character ones too.
They also had harry potter postcard colouring books theses ones but only £3.99 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Harry-Potter-Postcard-Colouring-Book/dp/1783705949/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1470508920&sr=1-1&keywords=harry+potter+postcard+colouring+book
I know a few of you are fans and thought they might make good stocking fillers ect

Peppapig

Ha ha, me too. We've always had nans in our family.

Mrs_Ryan

Hi all
Just popping in to give the heads up on some more bargains- I went into Debenhams today and they have a small Christmas section with some foodie gifts- I bought a tin of Whittard tea for OH, I gave it to him now though. It was reduced from £19.00 to £7.50- OH made a cuppa with it earlier and he said it was lovely. I'm not sure why it was reduced, I think because one of the seals on the tin was broken. They have other stuff reduced too and a small selection of cards and wrap too.

Evening everyone, i received the bit i had ordered for my craft group project this morning so this afternoon i did christmas crafting and some baking, with music on nice and loud, it was bliss! So i assume i am the class swot/goody two shoes seen as i have finished already :rotfl::rotfl:

MRSINVISIBLE im glad your nice clean washing didnt end up on the floor they say it comes in threes!!

MURIE i think DDs OH is used to her by now :rotfl:

MANDCO aww congratulations on becoming a nan, my DD2s friend gave birth to a little girl last night too. My gp just gave them to me on repeat and said i would be on them for the rest of my life!! I have had to go back on ADs recently so i wonder if they will help my fibro?? That HP postcard book would be great for my DS stocking, thankyou

PEPPAPIG my family has always been nans as well thats why i chose nana just to be a rebel :rotfl:
i always love to find out the name of newborns too, DDs friend hasnt decided yet its so frustrating waiting to know haha

MRS_RYAN ooh i will look in our local branch if i get into town, thankyou
