Merry 200s!

Well that turned out spectacularly bad! I will leave the decorations up to 70s from now on!

starjules · 30/05/2013 09:06

LOL Buzz, at least you tried!

BiddyPop · 30/05/2013 11:34

MN doesn't seem to recognise spaces to make pics - you'd need to use full stops or something to push the bits far enough into the middle (bitter experience and painful memory emoticon).

I bought my first bits on Tuesday, as I travelled up north for a course so got some GAA gear in the O'Neills outlet in Newry for DD, and some nice hairclips for one of the girls (either one of my DSis's or DBro's DW or other DBro's DFiance) as their stocking filler.

Grin I'm back.
Had no computer contact at my folks' houses (how primitive ) Shock

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 30/05/2013 20:36

BTW the tree could be one of those new fangled ones that fits in a corner or goes flat against the wall (as sold by John Lewis) Wink

Sorry to gate crash. But you just reminded me I want to decorate my LOs stocking. Didn't get a chances last year as he was 2months old but if I get my act together now I should get it done in time!
Thanks!

LentilAsAnything · 31/05/2013 09:52

I am liking the newfangled modern tree! :)

fuzzpig · 31/05/2013 19:52

You're not gatecrashing GTbaby, come spread the love :o what kind of decoration are you planning?

I am back after a few days away at my oldest friend's wedding :o they had Lego Minifigures as wedding favours which caused much amusement. My DCs were over the moon. They would really love them as stocking fillers or maybe advent calendar fillers!

I need to find a Duck-related christmas decoration for her birthday present in December. Please let me know if you see anything :o

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 31/05/2013 21:02

Oooh - I've seen swans and geese in the past (they are quite festive)

Swan Lake
Christmas Goose

but not ducks (though you could pretend) Wink

LentilAsAnything · 31/05/2013 23:42

Duck decoration?

Thanks fuzz. I'm bought cheap plain stocking from hobby craft last year. Was thinking adding his name in felt letters, but nothing beyond that. Need some ideas really.
Also I'm due DC2 in sep. so should do it ASAP as will be a busy autumn.

fuzzpig · 01/06/2013 10:34

Ooh that is great lentil thanks - cheaper than similar ones on amazon! :)

LentilAsAnything · 01/06/2013 15:03

SIX MONTHS TIL ADVENT!!!!! I'm counting down to the countdown! :)

Hi, GT, and welcome!

Cool, fuzz, glad to have helped!

TrinityRhino · 02/06/2013 00:04

holy crap I better get organised!

fuzzpig · 02/06/2013 08:49

Join us Trin :o

Nearly down to 200, so exciting!

DH came home with some stocking fillers for me yesterday that he'd found on ebay... I'm intrigued.

But I keep having WORDS with him because he keeps mentioning buying stocking fillers when he knows that we say the stockings are from FC. Last year he even put the presents that DCs chose for me in my stocking Angry I really don't want DD (will be 6.6) to figure it out yet so I have to remind him that stocking presents have to be completely secret.

TrinityRhino · 02/06/2013 11:22

no eggnog thanks Grin

but I am definitely going to be organised this year

or at least I really want to be and funds mean I need to start searching early for good bargains

oh yes stockings come from father christmas, they must be totally secret Grin

LentilAsAnything · 02/06/2013 11:32

Welcome, Trinity!

Aw, fuzz, bless him! Probably just excited! :)

We do a small stocking of little things (bubbles, pencils, socks etc) and they are from the elves. Santa brings four slightly more substantial gifts and leaves them in a sack under the tree.

I was out in the woods today and I was already looking for good snowman arms! :)

fuzzpig · 03/06/2013 10:31

Back to work tonight after half term, boo.

(DH may have taken DD halfway to school before realising there was an inset day... Blush)

GTbaby · 03/06/2013 20:48

Last night I started a board on my Pinterest account for Xmas ideas lol
