ChestyCoffin · 22/10/2013 17:36

Sure they'll love them.

Are you having some too?

I love pjs, am waiting til nearer tho for some proper festive ones Grin

farrowandbawl · 22/10/2013 17:40

No.

They only end up crumpled up in a heap at the end of the bed. I have a mega warm mattress and duvet.

ChestyCoffin · 22/10/2013 17:48

So comfy, am currently sporting black pj bottoms and a black ghostbusters tshirt that has glow in the dark writing on

ChestyCoffin · 22/10/2013 19:35

I nearly wrote...awake from 3am coffin earlier Grin

They sound nice giraffe

Oooh GBBO final Cake

giraffeseatpineapples · 22/10/2013 21:11

Yes watched GBBO! Not overly impressed with the show stoppers, although the winning one was pretty but totally not level - maybe that added to the charm Wink, I was addicted previous years but missed most episodes this year for some reason.

ChestyCoffin · 23/10/2013 18:30

Cards arrived tonight, very nice Grin

How are we all?

farrowandbawl · 23/10/2013 21:28

Gutted.

AF has been banned. She's helped me directly and indirectly over the years. I'll not be posting until her ban is lifted.

There's several threads about this. It's not a good decision MN has made this time.

I'm sorry ladies, I'm going to miss this thread and you all, but enough is enough. AF is one of the few who had guts to post somethings that no-one else dared and has got women out of crap and violent relationships time and time again with her advice. She was what MN stood for and was about.

This will be my last post until AF is back.

Sorry. I'll miss you.

Bye x

AnotherAnyFuckerFan · 23/10/2013 22:05

LentilAsAnything here, also Confused Shock Hmm Angry about the AF ban, even though I don't think I've ever exchanged posts on a thread with her, I've read lots of her posts and admire her greatly. What the hell? Hope it gets resolved and she and you, farrow come back.

LentilAsAnyFuckerThing · 24/10/2013 00:09

Namechanged again to one more like my usual name.
I hope she comes back.

giraffeseatpineapples · 24/10/2013 01:49

Have just seen that AF is allowed back in a week, so I guess she has been temporarily suspended Confused

ChestyCoffinFucker · 24/10/2013 08:15

I think I may just hide in here as its much nicer than the rest of the threads ATM.

Clarification that it was a weeks suspension earlier would have avoided fuckergate Sad

Tell me about your christmas purchaaaases Grin

fuckerandbawl · 24/10/2013 12:38

Hi, just read it was a temp ban.

Seriously, MN is loosing the plot. It's one thing getting more posters but they need to the moderation up to date too in oder to keep up with it all.

Anyway...

Today has been great. I ran 2k for the first time in my life and I detest running with a passion.

Hoe are you feeling Chesty? Any better?

ChestyCoffinFucker · 24/10/2013 13:09

2k!?! Shock

Well done fucker that's an achievement!

Much better today thanks.

fuckerandbawl · 24/10/2013 13:39

Glad to hear you are feeling better.

Thanks Chesty. I couldn't believe it when I looked at the screen on the treadmill.

Did 1 km then did the 45 min workout and then did another 1km to see if I could do it again.

I couldn't run 100m before without wanting to cry and collapse, nevermind all that.

How's the Christmas shopping going?

I've not been able to get anything else but have got DD's birthday present so that's a huge thing off my mind...

MRS Vamos - go into PC world, there's a nice Toshiba tablet in there which meets all our needs. It's cheap too. They've got a lot on display so you can give them a test run too!

giraffeseatpineapples · 24/10/2013 16:15

Glad you're back F&B.

Doing pretty well with the children's presents - think I will be able to finish getting theirs using clubcard boost next week. I got the infamous bag and blazer for £20 for my sister. Its the adult relations I find hard - my mum, dad brother and etc. DP and I have given up on christmas presents because he would buy me extravagent thoughtful presents then feel disappointed when I gave him a jumper!

giraffeseatpineapples · 24/10/2013 16:17

Well done on excersise F&B thats amazing - no way I could run either side of a 45 min work out!

ChestyCoffinFucker · 24/10/2013 17:08

Shoppings going ok but still have a fair bit to get.

It's never ending unlike my bank balance

Got DM some perfume today was reduced...yay!

Friend has gone now Sad
Back for christmas Smile

fuckerandbawl · 24/10/2013 17:27

I was waiting for you to get back.

Sad that your friend has gone back now. Do you know what she will be back?

Well done on the bargin perfume.

DD's laptop was the sme price as one that I was looking at but has 1tb of memory, a faster processor and basically is twice a better machine for the exact same price as one that's half as good.

DD's birthday won't be much of a stress now that is out of the way. I can concentrate on Christmas now.

Ohh, my friend has finally got a much awaited smaller house, she has to move in the next couple of weeks so she'll be having christmas in a new house.

Any ideas on homewarming presents? She doesn't like flowers, pictures are too personal...she doesn't really do candles...she's quite a minimalist person.

fuckerandbawl · 24/10/2013 17:29

Thanks Giraffe.

I never have a clue what to buy adults either. Although I'm quite lucky that way as we've all agreed not to bother as there's so many kids to buy for as it is, so I guess I've got away with that one.
