Old Style Daily 24th December 2007

AussieLass

Hi, this is the Daily Thread for 24th Dec. This is an “over the garden fence” type thread where we chat about everything OS and maybe a little bit more. It’s a great, inspiring and motivating thread we start each day to discuss what we’re going to do today or what we’ve achieved already. Everyone’s welcome, please do come in, put your feet up (although check the fence hasn’t just been painted first!) and join us for an OS natter. The more the merrier!

When you make a post, if you feel like giving it a title, that will help others that don’t have the time to read everything skim through the thread quickly but if not it's not a problem, we’re a laid back bunch here so you won’t hear any complaints. Please do not start a new daily thread before you go to bed at night because this often leaves things confusing with two daily threads live at the same time. The idea is that a member would start each new daily thread after they get up in the morning

Some people who chat here like to try to answer everyone. Don’t feel you have to though, a general “hi everyone, hope everyone’s well” type start does just as well.

Good morning everyone,

I know I'm a bit naughty starting a bit early but it is my Christmas Eve. I just had to run upstairs and out of the kitchen to tell you something wonderful happened this morning amongst the chaos of the Aussie household. As well as being in the kitchen we have DGS over as well. He is helping.

Postman Pat arrived (this is what we call our Postman) and in amongst the mail was a little parcel from OSeas. I opened it and low and behold there was a dvd of Lazy Town and a pkt of Haribo lollies with a note to say *guess who*. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and it's really made my day.:kisses3: I actually shed a few tears for the lovely kindness and thoughtfulness I'm shown here. (at times) I will wrap it up later and put it from Santa. He's going to be beside himself tomorrow.

I better return to the kitchen. DD is making the pineapple & marshmallow salad and I"m sure DGS is getting most of the marshmallows. :rolleyes: I hope you all have a lovely day as much as I've had so far. Thank you Haribo. I really must try and not tease you as much. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sorry for the big writing. I tried to edit it but can't find the font size when you edit.

Well I had to repay you from all the people of Lamb Island whom you entertain every year with this little spectacle.(you're even wearing your stripey thermals in it.) (see, you can go back to teasing me again.);)
Happy Christmas to you. Any kindness from me is only in return for being a good listener and a great laugh. :A

Byeeee!!!

Edited to add....If anyone, and I mean anyone posts a picture of me as an elf or anything else they will be in for it. Christmas or not. (got that Pink) and Aussie did say she couldn't get a Lazytown DVD for DGS, it wasn't just a random thing to send. :rotfl:

Actually I may as well just do my proper post now as I'm not sure when I'll get on in the morning. :rolleyes:
Still do do.....

buy a lemon
buy a decent bottle of wine (sampled OH's choices tonight and they're [STRIKE]gone[/STRIKE] rubbish
Do the ham
defrost the stuffing and pigs in blankets
Make Dtwin2's lavender heart. Did the other one ages ago but it was so hard I've been putting the next one off.
Ice the cake.
Make Reindeer food
Wrap 2 more prezzies
Quick tidy up
Peel children off the ceiling.

Thanks to some serious OSing and wonderful hints and tips from here, this year I am more organised and relaxed than ever and am lucky enough to have made some wonderful friends along the way. I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas Eve and slides merrily into Christmas Day.

Haribo xxx

Hi Aussielass and everyone else! :hello:

Not been in here for a long time... I'm mostly all sorted usually although I definitely don't have the knowledge you lot have - but I do lurk from time to time

Anywayyyy... all done for Christmas - presents etc bought and wrapped over a week ago, and cards sent. The last couple of days off work so I did all my housework and today/tomorrow is a big chill out. On Christmas day I'll be going at friends. Got a bottle of champagne to take (Veuve Cliquot Brut, so not bad, even).

Well, I just wanted to pop in to wish...

Merry Christmas one and all!
