    Morning :)
    I started reading and writing a post last night but then got side tracked :o luckily I did save some of what I had wrote.
    Treasurequeen that will be a good one to go in for both and dad and grandad (although I'm not the one who was doing a hardening hamper), thank you :D

    GTQ I love doing some crafty/creative bits to sell for stocking fillers. We normally have a little sale for the RBL near us but they aren't doing it this year unfortunately. Try not to worry about MRI - easier said than done. Plus when you google stuff you will always find the worst stuff!

    Peppa hope DH gets sorted soon.

    Apologies can't remember what else I was going to write and I'm on my phone so hard to scroll back.
    I got some PJS for SIL yesterday when I was shopping and a dressing gown for MIL. Although her birthday is beginning of December and she will be 50, not sure if to give it her then or give her the scarf I originally got her for Xmas and something else and the gown for xmas, might let DH decide.

    Right, busy day ahead as off out to a posh do this evening with my mum so finishing work a touch earlier than normal.
    Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:
    Mum to two boys :heartpuls

    That's re-assuring to know, what was the outcome?

    GTQ- I diagnosed myself with every traumatic disease on google.... Its natural to worry but thankfully they act quickly just incase there is a problem but the vast majority of the time there is not. I suffered with vertigo due to having a CSF leak during spinal surgery 2 years ago. Continually had inner ear infections but no ear pain at all. I only knew i had a bad ear infection when the vertigo would appear. Was diagnosed with cervical spondylitis which is common with age and can cause hearing loss too. Also have got severe eczema in both ears.

    If you want to chat send me a PM or message me on here anytime xxxx

    Hi Money Mission, hope you are ok xx

    just trying to update my christmas notebook with gifts etc. I have started buying a couple of foodie bits. Really would like to go away for new year but we are struggling for a dog sitter and she is too nervous for boarding kennels. I totally love the gingerbread candle and am going to stock up. Anyone recommend different flavours lol you know what I mean.
  • Morning everyone, i dont know if anyone else had the email but The Works have an offer of 6 christmas books for £10 here is the link:

    http://www.theworks.co.uk/c/christmas-shop/christmas-books/christmas-fiction?utm_source=Silverpop&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=20161021%20Xmas%20Adult%20Fiction%20(1)&spMailingID=864918&spUserID=MTUyOTI3NDMzNTES1&spJobID=650303132&spReportId=NjUwMzAzMTMyS0

    TREASUREQUEEN i really should go in Wilkos more often its somewhere where i only pop in if something has been mentioned on the threads, the weather vanes sound fab. Love the idea of the star wars film ticket in the sweets that is a lovely idea

    MANDCO haha you learn something every day i never knew Ikea did gingerbread dough, i might get some, will have to make a trip, love Tazs new throw!

    GETTINGTHEREQUICKLY haha i roared when i read my post back about piles and knickers, you did make me laugh! Please dont worry about your ear, i know i am a fine one to talk but i know from experience i google and get all sorts in my mind and it isnt anything like that at all. It is the urgency that sparks the worry in people but they are just doing their jobs properly. I hope it is something minor for you my lovely.

    04624181 ooh i am hoping my HB still has some gingerbread candles too, i am dying to try them after all the recommendations on here

    NEWTHRIFT have a fab time tonight at your posh do!

    LMG haha hello, i cant remember my password for this website either, luckily i am signed in all of the time so i dont have to think about it

    Thanks Dolly rocker for the Matalan tip, I hope I get one through my door I have my eye on a few bits in there.

    Free thanks for the works offer I have a fair few Christmas books to read this year, might have a nose though. I went into my local HB and they didn't have any of the candles there so I will try looking in the next nearest one tomorrow.

    Newthrift have a nice time tonight at your do.

    Gettingtherequickly: I had an emergency MRI and I started googling it all and made myself seriously ill. I am a but claustrophobic so I was panicking about going in the MRI but it was actually all alright. I was so relaxed I fell asleep and had to be woken up. I was told by the technician that in all the years he's worked there no one has fallen asleep in the MRI. :rotfl: Anyway nothing showed up on my MRI everything was clear so I worried about nothing. I hope yours goes well and everything is alright.

    I booked myself, my mum and my gran tickets to see Cinderella panto this year as a treat, so I have something to look forward too. Christmas day has been decided I will be going to my mums and the family will go there too. On boxing day its at my grans seven of us going including the dog.

  • TQ - If me or my Mum aren't going to use it I will PM you the codes because you can use them online.

    Will let you know next week at some point.
