A brand new shiny thread. Whether you want to do one extra thing a day, or a brain dump of what you have to do this is the place.

I will SO take photos! (and post here).

Peridot1 · 22/11/2025 16:58

You have me thinking cream and red and gold might be nice. I don’t have any cream decorations though………

Can I blame you if I end up buying cream decorations? 😂

Christmas Tree GIF

Why yes.

Yes you can. Grin

FourSeasonsLobelia · 22/11/2025 17:00

Oooh. That gif is giving me a headache.

FourSeasonsLobelia · 22/11/2025 17:01

I can't seem to remove it. I think it needs a 'flashing images' warning. Sorry about that.

😄 no worries

Good to get a rave in on a saturday night 😁

WinterFrogs · 22/11/2025 17:33

I can't leave you lot unsupervised for five minutes ! Made it out of the house, trudged through wind and rain to feed horses, and here you all are posting cat pictures and Christmas gifs and giving each other headaches.

Honestly!!!

FourSeasonsLobelia · 22/11/2025 17:35

😂

Guilty as charged.

FourSeasonsLobelia · 22/11/2025 17:37

Poor old @Mumtobabyhavoc and @Aria999 when they come online from across the pond.... they will see '27 new messages' and will think there was a crisis!

@WinterFrogs - sorry miss. We didn’t mean to do it. We just got carried away. Some of us more than others obviously naming no names! 😄

Aria999 · 22/11/2025 17:41

hello everyone!

Thanks @WinterFrogs! I haven't been doing much projecting recently as the kids have been off school with a virus.

I had one day on Tuesday where I worked on a work type project but for free for DH and then a morning on Friday where I did the grocery shopping and went to Home Depot to buy a new tea towel hook and some longer screws for the kitchen cabinet knobs which have all started falling off recently.

brief pause for respectful acknowledgement of those who do projects with the kids in their midst (@Mumtobabyhavoc, @mumofoneAloneandwell, probably some others of you!) but I can't seem to get my head round it!

WinterFrogs · 22/11/2025 17:49

You lot have put me to shame with talk of Christmas. But i saw something on another thread that made me smile - keeping it simple with wholesome food, a string of fairy lights and some holly in a vase, and getting out and walking.
That notion soothes my soul.
I'll cheer you all on though!

petalpower · 22/11/2025 18:15

I really love Christmas and everything it involves but I can see how your simpler Christmas would be lovely too @WinterFrogs . I’m going to a wreath making workshop this week which I do each year and really enjoy. Then in the first week of December DD and I put up all the decorations (she loves Christmas too!).
My extra task today was wiping the fronts of the kitchen cabinets which always seem to need doing. It’s been cold and wet here all day so it’s a sit in front of the wood burner sort of evening with a glass or two of something lovely. It’s just me, DH and junior Petaldog as (adult) children are visiting both sets of grandparents for the weekend. DH is cooking dinner which is a treat.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 22/11/2025 19:24

There are 37 new posts?! Whaaaat???? 🕵️

WinterFrogs · 22/11/2025 19:28

You are who I aspired to be @petalpower 💕 But I just don't have it in me and I am mainly at peace with that.
Sounds like a lovely peaceful evening although it must feel a bit quiet and I'm sure you're still missing senior petaldog 💐
No wood burner here but the heating is on, so I'm very snug. I'm listening to rain and wind outside and feeling very fortunate to be in!
I really needed today's big rest I think. Poor DH is fed up because his team lost today (football ) So he's playing all the critiques of the game in an endless loop on his phone and I'm hiding upstairs.
I love him really, he just needs to get it out of his system!

Winter, it has to be what makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it? 🩷

mumofoneAloneandwell · 22/11/2025 19:51

@Aria999 Aria me and dd have spent the day in bed, on our devices, eating cupcakes and lollipops 😭😭

Hope the kids are okay, my dd was the same this week, I know it just throws things off honestly xx

@WinterFrogs Winter we just need to be happy, and sometimes that means fairy lights and coziness xx

I wish i could slow this gif because I really want to study the decos/lights on one of the trees! 🩷

FourSeasonsLobelia · 22/11/2025 16:33

I like the idea of doing one with a theme. We could do that. A small tree on our landing table would work. Hmm.

DH is mostly away so when he gets back for Christmas I could surprise him with a Christmas extravaganza!! And possibly, inspired by another thread some home baked goodies..... Lord, I'll have my own youtube channel at this rate! Grin

ETA- 'table on our landing' not 'landing table'. The latter sounds like we have a helicopter landing pad in our garden. We don't. Just for clarity.
