I’m here and I’m so happy! And I love the Mrs Doubtfire gif. I love that film. Laura knows how I feel about all this - I’ve bent her ear on WhatsApp this afternoon, and it’s all brilliant!

Good morning to all. Checking in for another day. I hope your head wasn't too full of filling your new house with spoons Laura! @CookiePookie I chuckled at Northspoon. Dallas was on in 80's during my childhood if I remember correctly 😅Have a great day 😀

All good with me. Just getting up to switch the PC on for work and let the cat out. I fell down a few christmas spoon rabbit holes myself these past few days so I will definitely get one myself to remind me of you Laura. A true inspiration. X

Good morning @Munchyseeds2
I got a few hours sleep thank you but I kept waking up worrying I’d dreamt about the house and kept checking the email to make sure it was real lol 😂
Thank you I can’t wait to tell my health team and my children . Do you remember about the file I met at the crisis house? Well we have been speaking every day and she’s chuffed for me Aswell and she said she’s going to borrow her friends car as hers was written off because it was attacked whilst she was at crisis house . So she’s going to borrow her friends car and pick me up and take me to see it when she is free xx

I am overwhelmed with the choice! There are so many places making new things from old cutlery that I keep getting side-tracked. Then I tell myself I have too many and to stop looking but it's the same every year! Oh I hope you can get to see the house and let us all know what you think. I am so excited to hear 😀

😂😂😂😂There’s so many isn’t there . I love nice baubles it’s one of my favourite things to do bauble shopping . I may only get a few this year and add to it properly next year as I have other things I need to get like beds etc.
When I go and see the house I will take some pictures xx

I am obsessed with them. I've been to NYC a few times and Holiday Lane at Macy's is like my heaven! Trees in all sorts of themes and colours and decorations you just don't get here. We are getting better in the UK though, there really is so much more choice which makes it harder when you have to limit yourself to just a few per year. I would happily bankrupt myself for tree ornaments 😅

lol 😂 me too! Oh I’d love to go to NYC at Christmas and get some baubles . Last year I ordered the turtle doves from America you know from home alone? TK maxx do some nice ones, this sounds awful but when my children were little they used to make baubles at school at Christmas time and they always wanted to put it pride and centre of the tree but they never matched my tree so I had a lovely colour theme then this toilet roll tube with 3ft dangly legs hanging from it xx

My sisters got the Turtledoves last time we went. Home Alone is my all time favourite Christmas movie. My son loves it, especially round July time! You are just like me, I cringe at some of the things that I've had to hang on the tree in the name of tradition. At least we can laugh about it. Inside I'm screaming

I LOVE home alone! I want to do the plaza experience that’s based on home alone. You have a 4 hour limousine ride around all the sites from the film and you have a cheese pizza in the limousine. I don’t like pizza but it’s with the experience then you go back to your room in an extra huge bed and have a home alone ice cream sundae brought to your room , it has 16 scoops of ice cream in it ! Oh I know the dreaded school decorations and they always seemed to used ‘never dries’ glue every time I touch them I’d get glue all over my hands. One year my youngest wanted to put his Chris tingle orange 🍊 with all the sweets still on it at top of the tree instead of the star. That was a bad year xx

You’re too young to have watched it, but in the TV show Dallas they lived in a big old mansion called ‘Southfork’. Your lovely new home… ‘Northspoon’. I’ll see myself out now. Beyond happy for you!

Remember the lady who made the comment about the Ritz? I’d love to send her a card with my favourite JR quote…
I wouldn’t give you the dust off my car! 😂

Oh you have made that NYC Plaza tour sound amazing. I will eat the pizza 😂That has to be one of the best scenes from Pretty Woman, I watched it non stop in my teens. I think your new house will be much better than The Ritz, filled with happiness, love and joy because it clearly shines through in your writing 😊

😂😂😂😂It sounds amazing doesn’t it . I don’t think I could eat 16 scoops of ice cream though but I’ll try my best . Pretty woman is my all time favourite film. Richard Gere in it looks amazing. His facial expressions (🥵)
Awww that’s so lovely thank you so much xx

Was it really crap?I would like to go at Christmas though and do lots of shopping .
I need to ring the council this morning about sending them my offer letter but I am feeling nervous about ringing them because I’m not their favourite person right now xx
