RabidCarrot, what day and how are you counting? On Christmas UK I count to Xmas Day, and treat Xmas Eve as "1 day to go", so I make it 99 days. Are you counting Xmas Eve as the start of Xmas?

I have just read all 27 pages.

Gutted I didn't join in from the start

Will be 5 months pregnant at Christmas with dc4, suffering hyperemesis atm so struggling to get sorted really.

We are off to centre parcs on the 7th dec.

Panto on the 15th.

Just waiting to see what my shifts are over Xmas

Have drawn up a list of weekends through November and December. There aren't that many! Have planned to see six Xmas markets - booking Advance train tickets makes this affordable. It's going to be a manic couple of months, but I'm looking forward to it!

Im feeling quite nervous as its 92 until my due date.

I will join in as, i loveeeeee christmas.

Also bought some mince pies today and ate the whole 6 pack within 10 mins. Yum.

Did an order with bigjigs for ds2
£60's worth of really cool train stuff, I got abit carried away. I think that will be it for him as he will only be 2.2.
Just his stocking to go!

I'm going to check my lists next week and get cracking on the small token gifts for the family

xmasevebundle - I had my DS in Dec (he's 13 this year) but I remember everyone rushing around (for the Millenium ) and I was in a bubble.

The wards will be festive but not overdone (they have to be sensitive to the fact that not everyone celebrates Christmas and sadly, not every birth experience is a happy outcome)

I had the radio set on Capital, and Chris Tarrant announcing " 97 days to the Millenium/ 34 days to the Millenium/ 27 days..."

I was schreeching "STFU I've got to give birth before the flipping Millenium".

Enjoy these last few weeks of relitive calm though

fuzz how is your DH doing? Hope everything went well x

xmasevebundle that's exciting, hope baby doesn't keep you waiting too long! Our new nephew is due on 20th Dec so we may have to rush out for another present!

The only Christmassy thing I've done is update my pinterest boards. I now have lots of activities to do with dd in December. A Hobbycraft has just opened up near us so I took that as a sign to start getting crafty!

Thanks buzz :) he's doing ok, the operation seems to have had a positive effect, he's just in a lot of pain from the surgery itself but is managing to move around a bit. x
