Not sure if it's technically allowed to start the next weeks blog posts a couple of hours before schedule, so let me know if I'm out of line and I will dutifully sit at the back of the class. Xmas Blush Besides... I've probably done it incorrectly anyway!

Late Sat night and I'm trying to work out how to stay sexy and also warm simultaneously..... Thermal Lingerie? Does it even exist?

Hey Yummy, I'll join you, then if we subsequently discover we are out of line, we can sit at the back of the class together and share smuggled-in mince pies Xmas Wink

Here's my latest offering on my 3am blatherings:

Name dropping to myself on a Lucozade high

Nah, you guys are good :) I take advantage of being in Canada and start a thread early all the time!

I am actually cheating a wee bit, as I posted this recipe yesterday, but never got around to sharing.

My very fusion-ey Spiced Mushroom Puff Pastry Braid with Date Chutney. Mouthful of a name, but it was pretty darn delicious.

Was just stressing about Xmas shopping when I realised that it doesn't actually matter at all - and sat down and wrote this post instead about what made my childhood Christmases special (and the presents don't feature once!)

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

I'd love to hear your childhood memories too - please add them as comments, if you'd like to!

(And check out the cool on-screen snow that Wordpress provides - how childish am I? Smile )

I'm a new mumsnet blogger. I'm a new blogger per se. So I'm watching all of you and learning the ropes. Looks exciting but a bit confusing.

FlamingoBingo · 04/12/2011 14:34

Hi nellnewman Smile Welcome.

here's my links post for this week. Now off to write tomorrow's post!

Bexxia · 04/12/2011 14:45

Every Sunday I try to remember to write a summary of my son's achievements, but usually forget or am simply too lazy. Blush

I've actually managed to do it this week, hurrah!

Thanks Yummy! Definitely in the Christmas mood here too - we've managed three Christmas fairs this weekend - DS1 maxed out his luck on the tombolas so now we're over run with cuddly toys - who needs Christmas presents??

Hi nellnewman - welcome - I'm also pretty new too, so still trying to get the hang of it all!

Right, back to feeding the virtual polar bear...
