Brown, red and gold sounds lovely.

chesty at least you were organised. All my bits I ordered from Amazon I done in several orders over a couple of weeks, I don't think the post as was very impressed.

We made the Christmas cake today, my kitchen smells amazing :)

farrow just seen in the paper that John Lewis advert "the bear and the hare" debuts today.

There's a thread in Chat and in discussions of the day if you want to see it now.

(it made me cry)

The poor hares little face when the bear wanders off to hibernate

Then I watched the 2011 one with the little boy....

I know .

On the upside it does mean that WE'RE ON THE HOME STRAIGHT!

Cocacola truck ad and then that's the ad's done.

I'll be watching all the john Lewis Christmas ad's when I've finished stuffing my face.

Ooooh what you having?

More deliveries today

Well, I ordered a kebab - not had one for months..I thought it was a small one. Nope, it's the biggest thing I have ever seen, all 3 of us has had a go at it and there's still nearly a 3rd left. It's was only 4 quid so that's why I thought it was small....there was a large option as well!

This bugger covered my plate and was still hanging off over the sides. I won't be ordering that again - I HATE waste and a takeaway is a rare treat for me.

What arrived today Chesty?

T shirt, diary and air freshner! I love it, it's like christmas

Knobheads with the fireworks are at it again

Here too! No doubt last til new year

Oooh I like the morrisons advert

PMSL I take it you are watching Corrie as well then?

Morrisons are good this year - ASDA will be an interesting one I think, they have a lot to make up for after last years one.

I hate fireworks - what's the point? seriously?

JL is the only one I've seen so far, made me cry too.

I hate fireworks too, can't complain on the 5th as long as they're not too late, I hate when they're going on for at least a week either side of it though. What I don't understand is how in the current climate with the risk of terrorism how anyone over 18 can just go into any supermarket and buy explosives

Now seen ads for Lidl, Argos and Littlewoods.

Starbucks have started doing Christmas drinks.

Yes I was watching corrie

I hate them too, waste of cash and dangerous too.

What's everyone up to today?

I'm taking DM and DA to garden centre as the reindeer move in today

I may need a large later

I'm de-bugging my computer - it's got really, really slow. I think part of the problem is one of Microshafts updates called Silverlight - if you have it, get rid of it. My laptop speed has improved considerably since I uninstalled that.

I also need to do some washing, use the dryer to see if I've finally fixed the problem and there's another assignment that needs to be done. Email tutor about where she can pick up the assignment on Monday nad read up on next topic.

Rock and Roll people!

Right, how has everyone been today?

Laptop sorted out. Loads faster now.
Homework done and tutor emailed.
Washing done - 1 load dried but dryer still not fixed properly - I can live with it for now but it deffo needs replacing...hoping there'll be one in the January sale.

Other than that, it's been a pretty boring day. The John Lewis ad is out tonight officially. 8.10pm on ITV.

Squeeeeeeee!

Hello All.

LOVE the JL ad. I sneaked a peek online yesterday and it made me cry.

Feeling very emotional at the moment anyway.

Have also seen the Coca Cola ad tonight, so it's official !

IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS !

What?

When was the Coca Cola ad on?

Why so emotional Mrs?

Evening

Feel well dodgy, uncomfortable tummy and bit sicky....pleeeeease make it not be D+V coming.

mrs you ok?

farrow very productive day!

Oh no.

Hope you feel better soon Chesty.

Hi All.

Emotional because just when you think life is on the up, something, or in this case someone comes along and smacks you back down again.

Don't want to go too into at the mo, maybe when/if things get resolved I'll be less cryptic, but I don't want to jinx anything.

Sorry for being so silly.

Coca Cola ad was on Saturday night, after the JL one, in the next set of adverts.

You all know me, usually I am so excited, especially this time of year, and what's happened has really made me feel very MEH about everything. I'm not one to get really down, I can usually pick myself up pretty quickly, but I am now wondering how many knocks and how much shite someone is supposed to take before they scream ENOUGH, which I kind of have done.

I feel like giving up but that's not the answer, for me, DH or the DCs. Just so upset.

Could I pick your brains, again, please farrow ? Or anyone who can answer ?

I have the (H.U.D.L.S), and have today called to get unlimited bb, which is going to be installed in a couple of weeks.

What am I going to need Christmas Day in order to get the DCs up and running on the Hudls ? Lady on phone said something about passwords, and how everything is online to help guide me through it. Not much help to me now, when I want to know NOW !

Thanks very much.

PS Much love to you all. xxx

It will all be on the instructions on the Hudls.

You need wifi, that's a peice of cake to set up from the hudl. If you have wifi set up in your home (wireless internet), then there is a password that you use to connect devices to the wifi. You can connenct Sky, Wii, laptop, printer etc etc all over wifi.

It's that password she means.

Hope things work out for you soon xx I know the type of knocks you mean, the ones that just rain down continuously...you can get thought it, you have to, there's no other option. I'm sure we can get you excited about Xmas, so that's something you can look forward to.

Chesty, are you feeling any better?

I saw the CocaCola ad last night so I'm happy and excited now.

Was supposed to have gone to college today but the tram didn't turn up (there was an accident in the city centre), so instead of going to college so the other students can copy my work (they must have shit themselves today) I helped my friend move house instead. Took us 6 hours with 2 removal men but we did it. She's in, but no-where to sleep and sit. I'll go back down tomorrow and help clean up the old house and help her get beds etc set up in the new house. Her son is autistic like mine so he needs to be back in his room and his routine ASAP so we're trying to get him settled.

chesty hope you're feeling better, and mrs hope things resolve themselves soon and you can look forward to Christmas.

farrow what are you studying at college?

I bought the December issue of good food magazine today, it's normally the only issue I buy because I love getting excited by the Christmas recipes!
