Noooooooo......don't say the 'C' word.......I'm not ready.....arrrgggghhhhhhh!

I am gathering ebay items around me this morning and am going to try to get some things photographed and listed. I might even set myself a challenge. Wow, what's this weird sensation I'm experiencing? Motivation? I've heard about that.....lol.

I'm stressed about the C word...

Although in good Flylady tradition (I'm trying to get into it) I do wrap the gifts I have already bought!

And I have a rough idea what I am getting everyone other than my Mum!

Happy Bonfire Night everyone!

We had our fireworks at the weekend but no doubt I will be looking out the window with my little girl later. She loves them but is only 2 so still jumps at every bang lol.

I am trying to gather lots of bits for Ebay too as need to start making some serious dents in my debts.

I am about the same.

I love Xmas. I have a list of ideas for almost everyone but I am waiting for the money to come through from my xmas savings account then I will be spend spend spend lol.

Determined to make this the first xmas without the use of credit. :eek:

We watched the end-of-lights fireworks at the Pleasure Beach last night - very ooohh, aaahh! DF is driving up to Gateshead tonight so is expecting to see lots of displays on his way - very MSE!

Think i'm nearly sorted for the C-word - just need to sort out DS1 & DS2. DS1 is having uni text books (sad, but he is 21!) but not sure what DS2 needs yet as he has got his dyslexia report back saying that he is dyslexic, and will be getting asistance from his LEA for his Uni course - including a new laptop, the jammy so & so! We've got one of my brothers coming for the 2-day event, but not sure which if any DS's will be with us or with their dad & his new wifey for a bit of a do.

Have a good day everyone - just had both of todays meetings cancelled, so no minute-taking for me today, yippee!

Love Floss xx

I've ordered the stuff for MIL's tea hamper, and have a few bits and pieces for Mum and Dad's travel hamper. I've got one present for Natasha and a few for Ryan.....but I'm way behind really.

Me and Ryan had great fun making Xmas cards the other day though, the kitchen looked like a glitter bomb had exploded in there...:rotfl:

We had a bonfire Saturday night, but no fireworks. The neighbour was letting them off for 2 hours solid, and I'm sure they were industrial ones, they were SO loud!

My poor dogs are absolutely terrified by the fireworks, neither will eat or go outside, and they hide and sit there shaking. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just the one night, but it's been going on for weeks :mad:

Our Cat is terrfied of them to. He's jumping at the slightest noise. Luckily he is small enough to hide under my bed!

I have a feeling it's going to be noisy at home tonight. Although I will be driving over the south downs at about 7pm tonight so will hopefully get a free show from the comfort of my own home!
