Vulpix- the table cloth is an Chinese eb*y purchase- I have 2 of them cus we have an additional table when the extended family are round. I think they were about £15. I put them over black table cloths as the table in the pic is 8ft and it doesn't quite fit so I have 2 together. Be warned if you do decide to get one- they are beautiful but my word do they shed sequins!!!


Peppa/GTQ- I don't like it ether and its forever logging me out.


Mandco- yes it took a while to put together but it was worth it. She loved it.


TQ- I have been into The Works this morning and have bought some Christmas dies, and alphabet and a pair of lace effect deer- they are lovely and were cheap compared to other dies.


I dropped DH of at the airport first thing (gone to visit his brother in France), came home stripped the bed, put a load od washing on and then DD and I went for our freebie cake and coffee at John Lewis, had a little mooch around the shops- perfect! Then home to get the washing in off the line before it hammers it down. It is so humid tho!! I feel like a piece of wet lettuce!

Afternoon everyone, its been so muggy here the last few days that I woke with a pounding headache this morning and had to take myself back to bed for a couple of hours to sleep it off

GETTINGTHEREQUICKLY wow 20 Christmas cakes haha where do you store them all? Haha do you mean a Sheldon folding t shirt board?

MURIE ooh that was lovely logging on and seeing your lovely photos, I too love the tablecloths very pretty colour. Glad you have had a lovely day with DD and coffee and cake and shopping perfect

PEPPAPIG oh what a shame about your DDs and DGDs dog, its so upsetting losing our pets. Has the site changed again then and I am on the old version because I still have the birthdays at the top of the current page?? I haven't had to log back in at all but I do leave it open all the time. Hope the heating has sorted itself out!

Murie- ypur cake and decorations are amazing! Wish I was that talented.

I'm just enjoying the hols with the kids. Ŵent to the beach yesterday and a big adventure park last week. Back to Highland games and dancing this weekend.

I'm hoping to get to Primark and get some of the beauty and the beast things for the girls xmas. Especially the chip cup purse.

Morning

Chrissy ,my Mum has gout,both in her hands and feet.My poor nephew has it too,he is only 23.Extremely painful:(The only good thing is that it can be a good while inbetween bouts and the preventative tablets do work.

The gate is black and is looking good.I will wait until the hops plant has grown up it a bit before I do a photo.

Well! DS's GF has got on a physiotherapist course after having an interview by skype in a car park outside a fast food place in Alaska!
So we were all looking at houses to rent,me going to look at them,looking for furniture etc and DS throws in he is thinking about joining the air force into the mix! They would have to live apart for 2 years whilst she finishes the course.So she may as well live in halls.Anyway their plans may be completely different by tea time.

Think I will buy some furniture and renovate anyway,it can always go in the loft or sell on.

must get on,craft club at someone elses today.Will try to finish the Christmas tree skirt.

Picked up some nice candles in the £1 shop yesterday for the couples Christmas shopping bags.Didn't have time to look elsewhere as we were en route to the funeral.

Oh hell, got a challenge. Weighed in tonight, lost 2, so happy bunny. I go for 2 a week as that is achievable, so have set that as my goal for next week. However, one of the others is the exact same weight as me & is going for 3 1/2, to make it 2 st:eek: She has been close to that before but went backwards, whereas I have been absolutely consistent since I started. Part of me wants to go for it, not for the loss but for the challenge:D
