It is absolute anxiety inducing carnage on this site tonight. If, like me, you are reading certain threads and feeling your blood pressure and pulse go through the roof, please join this thread for some calm Flowers

I'll start: I'm in bed with my cat, listening to Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter. Looking forward to watching a christmas film with DS tomorrow.

Me me me!

I'm currently eating jam on toast watching family guy. Had such a huge craving for raspberry jam!!!! (I'm 13 weeks 😊)

Flowers I’m in bed with my gorgeous 5.5 week old, he’s had an unsettled day but much happier now. We have red and blue chill out lights and relaxing sleepy music on. I’ve fed him to sleep but he’s chilling on me now. We’ll snuggle in the bed tonight while DH sleeps next door. I think we’re both feeling quite soothed amid the madness.

I'm drinking a glass of wine after watching an episode of The Crown Smile

Congratulation @TeaBanditTeej Smile

There's nothing quite like cuddling up with a brand new baby! Enjoy and savour every minute @BuffaloCauliflower

@TeaBanditTeej I was obsessed with toast and jam while pregnant with DS2.

I have a cold, suffering insomnia these days. Have had a successful day with the children and they’ve been happy. Need to find the energy for tomorrow with them when dh working

How lovely. I so miss my DS at that age. Goes by in a flash!

All this talk of jam on toast has made me hungry.

Thank you for creating the thread. You’re not wrong about the anxiety inducing carnage

Imiss2019 · 20/12/2020 23:52

Ooh toast and jam sound very soothing. I’ve been fairly stoic about it all but tonight I feel awful. I have to go food shopping tomorrow and tonight’s post have got me dreading it!
Cuddling up with this guy and trying not to let it all get to me. I may get up and make some toast and butter to share with the dog!

@Xmasdinnervwpolo so delicious 😍 Last week it was sour haribos!!! I jumped straight in the car to the shop and desperately tried to find them. This is my first pregnancy 🙈 I didn't realise how intense cravings can be. ITS NO LAUGHING MATTER. haha :')

BuffaloCauliflower · 20/12/2020 23:54

Thanks all. I could also go for jam. Jam and peanut butter on toast for breakfast I think!

treening · 20/12/2020 23:55

I would LOVE some haribo tangfastics right now.

Got a click and collect tomorrow with all the Christmas food so hopefully won't have to brave the shops.

Oh he is just adorable. Please make him some toast. 😂

I made these gingerbreads once DC were in bed. Lots of dough and glacier fruits left for them to make whatever they choose tomorrow Smile (PS mini tree, not giant biscuits!)

Listening to a dreamie filled car snoring. For a little cat it’s a very loud snore.

Bargebill19 · 21/12/2020 00:04

Haribo are simply the best- in whatever shape or sweet/sourness combo.

treening · 21/12/2020 00:04

Love the image of a dreamie filled car Grin

Threecouldbefour · 21/12/2020 00:29

I've been watching The Vicar of Dibley. It's so good - easy watching and very warming. Drinking a hot mug of water as also pregnant and feel fairly grim. Trying to take my mind off repeat scan on Wednesday due to slow heartbeat. Vicar of Dibley was just the ticket.

Bargebill19 · 21/12/2020 00:33

I’ve just made myself hungry by watching snackmasters doing dominoes pizza.
Vicar of Dibley would have been a better choice🤣
Hope you feel better soon and good luck.

scotsllb · 21/12/2020 00:45

@TeaBanditTeej mmmm raspberry and toast! I haven't had that for years and I absolutely love it!!

grassisjeweled · 21/12/2020 00:49

Oh my god this is the thread I need! Like 1984 everywhere else

It's snowing really hard here, had been all day, took the kids sledging which they loved.

Supposed to still be working 3 days next week but I am so not in the mood Xmas Grin
