Hello all! Hope you don't mind if I join the thread? Currently 19 weeks pregnant and not doing too well (having a rough pregnancy on top of ME and mental health issues) so I'm trying to focus on something nice - planning for Christmas!

Evening everyone,

VULPIX aww have a lovely family meal tonight with DS and his girlfriend, wow £40k that just shows how much hard work you have put into the property, sending good luck vibes on seeing inside the bungalow

NIC grrr I hate that when I forget to copy what I have written and then the gremlins decide to make it disappear

MRSINVISIBLE glad you got your carpets cleaned in the end. Aww another new baby in the family how lovely

ELLIEW8 thankyou my lovely

MANDCO I'm just going to look at the Matalan site now

LOULABELLE I hope you start blooming very soon its hard when you feel so rough, Christmas is a great distraction

Thanks for the warm welcomes! I'm in the process of printing off my Christmas planner sheets, and have just ordered some autumny candles (thought I very nearly got scammed by a fraudulent website. Clearly this baby has stolen all my rational thought!)

Looking forward to seeing the change in season. Christmas has always been my go to "happy place" even though I find the run up to it quite stressful! There's just something magical about the season.

I was in home bargains last night and bought the big Gingerbread Yankee style jar. I love these, I burned about 6 of them through the end of November and December last year. They just smell so much like christmas and like proper gingerbread, not the fake smell. And they are £2.99.
My daughter thought I was daft when I said 'I'm so glad they are doing them again this year, I was panicing they wouldn't' she looked at me as if I was daft and said sarcastic,y ' you were actually panicking ? ' Yep I'm a saddo lol.

I absolutely love candles. I get gifted a Yankee Candle every year by my sister in law for my birthday - she got me the Vanilla Cupcake one this year which I am yet to burn but I will start when the kids go back to school.

I also brought some in the B&M sale this year for 50p for 8 tealights - they are in frozen scents, winter berries and I think christmas spices but for 50p a pack I couldn't say no - they are in my christmas cupboard now so I will dig them out and start burning those when Im having a quiet moment.

I did look in Home Bargains the other week and they had a Raspberry Ripple candle that I am planning on getting for my sister and putting it with her handbag that I have brought her.

loulabelle86 welcome sorry your having a tough time hopefully things will settle down soon xmas is a great distraction though

Nic those gingerbread candles are lovely but were so hard to find here last year

Still haven't read back yet just been so busy with the kids birthdays and sorting college/school stuff
dd did great in her exams A's & B's so very proud of her

There a newish card shop near me and they had some of last years xmas stock reduced to 1/2 price so picked up a few bits for the xmas elves activities

Kids are back at school next week so should have time to catch up properly then
