Stupid leap-year, one extra day!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. We enjoyed it thoroughly, just the three of us. DS is a very lucky, happy boy. He adores his scooter, best present ever! Off to Smyths later to spend some of his Christmas money on Duplo (he asked for it).

Morning mama half you had a nice day

We're off to see family later then home for a dvd a thon.
Am royally stuffed with Christmas food!

I LOVE YOU!

I was hopeing someone would do this, I've made a folder on the laptop labled Christmas, and halve already bookmarked:

The place where I got this years tree from.
Wines
A couple of expensive gifts for DM and DB which will take time to save up for.
TV for my kitchen
A couple of recipies which I would like to try and...
More decorations

are you all right in the head? am I really reading this ? Think you all need to discover other things in life!

I like it mole because I can still find you all here

We were successful and got some duplo half price. DS loves it (and I'm loving the peace and quiet)

Mole, you are even more planned out than me. All that's on my list so far is that we will get a real tree next year. And I have plans for decoration, but that's about it.

Busymummy, maybe we are not as busy as you?

Does anyone know where MrsChristmas is? Haven't seen her in ages. Getting worried.

No. I havent seen her for ages either.

I reckon she really IS Mrs Christmas and is helping her husband Father Chrsitmas recover from his work. I doubt we will see her again as she will have elves to boss about and preperations to make for next year! It's only in October she can start to delegate to the head elf and then have some MN time.

Good evening laaaadies!!!
Are you suitably stuffed with Christmas food?

MRRRRRSSSCHRISTMAAAASSS where is she??

Hello Peanuts.

I'm not quite stuffed but have been picking for the last 2 days, I'm very happy about it. Now got picky food in the oven as I'm not doing a big meal.

How have you been? and more importantly, have you started your prep for Christmas 2012? In the sprit of the year I am going to Olympic proportions.

Hello!!

I shall need a fork lift to get me off the sofa soon
I am still enjoying this Christmas for now.

Thinking about next Christmas would mean this one would be over and I'd have to stop lolling on the sofa in pjs watching DVDs and eating chocolate all day!

Did you and the DCs have a lovely day?

It's been great thank you, we've done NOTHING!

I've been surfing the web for Chirstmas stuff, ds has been on various toys, dd's been reading and listening to music..all have been munching. It cant get any better, this is just what I've needed and feel better for it. No people, no going out anywhere, just me and the kids, in PJ's eating food and watching films.

What have you and yours been up to?

The same lots of tv and DVDs, with an occasional dog walk for peanut dog thrown in.
Got two box sets to get through so can't see me being vertical anytime soon

Ooooh! I forgot about Harry Potter box set! Will start that tomorrow.

That sounds fab thought o be honest. A little fresh air to stop the cabin headache forming.

Got HP boxset too that would be 3 boxsets then!

I'm jealous. We have been out this morning and by lunchtime I was exhausted. And all we did was exchange presents as DH got me for example wrong sized socks. He thought I was a size 4, I am size 7 And I was so looking forward to my fluffy socks, pah!

Well, we are going to watch some films now so I shall see you tomorrow. Should we just have a general 'Countdowners unite' thread?

Peanuts, did you get my message?

Good Idea about the Countdown thread! Will look forward to that one.

Hello mama ....just seen it now and you mole yup great idea, I'm a bit sporadic with my use tho.
Where are we having the count downers unite thread? Christmas still?

It will have to be in the Christmas section, to have it anywhere else is just WRONG.

Shall we move now?

ok, but to determine who will have the HONOUR of starting the Christmas 2012 thread..we need to think of a competition.

Oooh ok! Biggest waistline? I win
What do you have in mind?

lol

I'm thinking of something to do with the christmas namechange, best one we each come up with wins but...

It has to include our RL initials in.

So what do your kids do while you are lolling on the sofa eating chocs and watching DVD's all day- do they not want to go outside and get fresh air - are they not climbing the walls? mine would be and what do you do about getting dressed or does the whole family lie around in pj's all day? very strange!
