If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

Well hopefully the title says it all. There's been a suggestion, and we agree, that as we did with Baby P and the Mc Canns we just have one thread where anyone who feels they still have anything to add on this subject can post and those who'd rather move on can hide it away.

It feels strange to put this thread in site stuff as we are definitely not wanting to encourage further discussion of Moldies (we have presents to wrap too you know ) but we weren't sure where else to put it.

We will delete any new Moldies threads that are started, so please feel free to report them in case we miss any (what with wrapping the presents and all...)

And if you do want to carry on the discussion please remember that Mumsnet's here to make everyone's lives easier and not the reverse, and that Christmas is a time of goodwill to all mumsnetters past, present and future

Thanks,
MNHQ

ruty: think you'll find it's a scented eraser

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 23/12/2008 23:26

my excuse is that I've found it really hard to get any Christmas spirit going at all, and the last thing I could think of doing until about mid-December was start getting decorations up, and doing anything about it.

Also had DS1's 5th birthday on the 27th November, his party on the 29th, and DS3's Christening on the 30th - so the last week or so of November was totally manic........

Still not feeling very Chrismtassy now

PeachyBidsYouNadoligLlawen · 23/12/2008 23:26

ruty · 23/12/2008 23:26

EffiePerine · 23/12/2008 23:26

love the breakfast idea!

Hulababy · 23/12/2008 23:26

I bought DD's Playmobil advent calendar on october time! I was so suprised to see it sat there int he shop I felt a need to buy quick. My parents got the chocolate one.

VanessaParody · 23/12/2008 23:25

rustybear you are a farkin lazy mare genius for getting FC to deliver breakfast.

lou33 · 23/12/2008 23:25

my children will hate me

it is tradition they have selection boxes for breakfast on xmas morning (anything to let me sleep past 7 am)

holidaywonk · 23/12/2008 23:25

I've been deleted once today Quattro. I can be deleted again.

dontcallmehon · 23/12/2008 23:25

No, but have never done stockings before, so am wondering if I should. The presents just seem too miniscule to bother wrapping, but I do feel like a slattern if I don't...

cornsilk · 23/12/2008 23:25

LOL at breakfasts in Rustybear's christmas stockings!

ruty · 23/12/2008 23:25

ah onebat. Feeling nostalgia for my youth. tangerines, a smelly rubber and a Mr Men book if i was lucky, in one of my dad's old socks.

OF COURSE YOU DON'T WRAP STOCKING PRESENTS WOMAN.

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 23/12/2008 23:24

OBM, what did you do in the garden for nine hours, if you don't mind me asking?

I and the children trailed around the homes of various local friends. They were delighted to see us on this, the day before the day before Christmas, when everyone tries to get everything done.

I've now permanently lost the ability to say sorry; it's worn out through over-use.

EffiePerine · 23/12/2008 23:24

FAQ: our CM bought DS's advent calender

Quattrocento · 23/12/2008 23:24

That settles it. I can't possibly wrap any more presents without pre-cut sellotape. I don't have the right tools ...

EffiePerine · 23/12/2008 23:24

stockings trad contain sweets. 3 nuts. An orange, Socks. And stationery.

Hulababy · 23/12/2008 23:23

I nearly forgot crackers. Had to leave my place int he aitrose till, have shopping unloaded onto conveyer and run and grab some!

cornsilk · 23/12/2008 23:23

Sharp intake of breath at FAQ's advent calendar
confession!

RustyBear · 23/12/2008 23:23

Dontcallmehon - do you wrap stocking presents?

I used to wrap them in tissue paper, no sellotape so nice & quick.

I also used to add a mini box of coco pops & a box of juice so we didn't have to get up to do breakfast too early (luckily neither of my two liked milk with their cereal)

EffiePerine · 23/12/2008 23:22

Thanks for the kind wishes - I'd better not be having this baby on Xmas Day, is all I can say. Unless it's divine judgement for my present wrapping policy

lou33 · 23/12/2008 23:22

i have forgotten the selection boxes this year, and almost forgot the crackers

Quattrocento · 23/12/2008 23:22

Blairite

cornsilk · 23/12/2008 23:22
