17 sleeps

[ChestyNutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire]

Are you all ready?

Well not quite... no decs up, Christmas cards bought but not sent.... still some pressies to buy... I'm excited though

Urgh you've just reminded me I've got the rest of Christmas cards to write

Christmas tree going up today!!!

once I get my arse into gear, brave the shops and buy an stand for it

We are off to cut our tree today, I just can't wait any longer

Shopping is all done and planning to avoid the town until Christmas is over!

Oh my just been to Asda and chaos has descended already

Yay for putting the trees up!

DH just back from Asda and Lidl to get the stand and food. He looks shattered.

17 sleeps!!

Eek !

Trees are done ! Few more parcels to get, cards to write and post, and food shopping.

It will all get done, it always does.

Sainsbo's was a bit mad this morning too, Chesty...I think the threat of a bit of snow sends people panicky....I'm not worrying, and can't do the food shop too early anyway ! And to be honest, if the weather is terrible, then it will be what it will be...

How's the tree Mama...is it from the place I recomended? I can't remember.

Tree is up and it is beautiful! I love it so much!

Mole I got it from the place you recommended, it's fab. I'm always going to get my tree from there from now on.

Now, can someone please do my final shopping? I really don't want to go to the shops. Bloody stocking fillers and secret Santa presents.

Pictures of trees pleeease?

I'll swap you mama your shopping for my Christmas cards?

Ok Chesty, just for you I've made my profile public and uploaded 3 photo's. They will be there but only for a short time. Then I'm blocking my profile again...not that there's much on there, but still.

Mama, I need to see you tree now too. Glad you like it. I love their trees, this is my second one from them and again they have not let me down. I can't fault it. They are expensive but I think they are worth it.

If it wasn't for saving the penny jar, I wouldn't be able to buy one. It's the contents of the penny jars that pays for the trees and a bit more if there's enough.

It's lovely mole!

I will update my elf blog tonight and there will be a pic of the tree as Jingle was found hanging on it this morning. Need to get some work done first though so patience

Chesty, would love to do that swap! Which reminds me - haven't even bought cards yet

Oooooh very nice mole
mama how do I find your elfy blog please?

We're posting on the wrong number of sleeps!!

Here is my blog. Will post more later, must plan lessons...

A bit of Christmas shopping to do this week then we are ready.
Sent cards last week, ordered online food shop with Sainsburys,wrapped all pressies and decs are up.
Was feeling excited but ds has just got chicken pox and dd has the symptoms too so will probably miss her nativity, hopefully ds will be well enough for his next week.

Mama, that blog is fantastic.

Typical monster

Hope they're both well soon!

mama fab blog, love Anders Pjs. Very cute.

Thanks Chesty, I think dd has her spots coming so may be ok by Friday

Thanks Just updating the blog and you can drool over my tree. Can't decide what to do for tonight yet, got so many ideas. Maybe something simple only as I need to dash out early in the morning.

P.s.: Pjs from mothercare, they are so cute!
