    I am still contemplating the boxes of Christmas decorations which I have been tripping over since they came out of the loft at the weekend.
    Someone make me do something.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Don't ask me! I've never been able to make any woman do anything :rotfl:

    First off, huuuge congratulations on your news. :D Gitdog will procure a hat when the time is right.

    Can't do a proper reply because I've not worked out how to penguin on my phone, but rant away if it helps. I think a lot of people have mixed feelings for any number of reasons.
    Can you send out a list of ready prepared food for people to bring with them. And paper plates!

  • Lambyr, huge, huge congraulations! So happy for you. Not about all the reasons for the rant, obviously, just for the one piece of joy you slipped in.

  • I'd say sod the lot of 'em and disappear off to your fiancee's for the duration of Christmas! Do understand the pressure of family making that a lot easier to say than do, though. Defintely hide the booze.

    I hope we all get wedding invites :rotfl:Oh, and your mum might have noticed the ring, but be waiting for you to say something.

    p.s. Purple = awesome choice.

    Congratulations Lambyr and E.

    It sounds to me like you have sooo many plans over Christmas, far too busy to spend much time with your family, in fact, is that the time? Good grief. No, you'd love to stay and get them drinks and food, but you have other engagements you need to get to and you're late now, but they know where the kitchen is so they can help themselves. And while they're at it, would they mind getting dinner/drinks for your mum.

    Agree with ono on everything.

    Huge congratulations. Glad this thread is keeping my hat busy!
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    ĹI read that as "i have not seen tomato soup before"

    Why whitewing, what a sheltered life you have led up until now?!

    Then I clicked on the link.:o

    Don't click on this one if you don't like spiders.

    Scientists have found a spider with an odd conical body shape.

    So they've named it after the Sorting Hat from Hogwart's.

    Good morning Team WaS. It's Thursday.

    I still haven't put any decorations up aside from a strong or fairy lights on my desk. That is my task for this weekend. Does I tell you this I tackled the cupboard of doom at the weekend?

    Why are my sentences coming out like I'm the BFG? Stupid autocarrot.
