We need a new thread to continue the very successful countdowns of 2013 and 2012.

And before anyone does the Hmm face (or Xmas Hmm face ) take a look at some of the 'Panic Threads' at the end of December when people were "Twitching" and stressing.

Organisation is key.

(I just need to find somewhere that'll work out how many days it is Grin )

I love this time of year.

Everything is just how it should be. Anyway...

Nearly finished knitting a blanket - it's heavy so should help ds sleep. Went back to the gym after a 5 month absence - and good lord did it show. My muscles are killing me.

Kitten has new toys, chewed through 1 of them in less than 5 minutes.

New college course is going to be hard, but I should be ok if I knuckle down and concentrate. I was ready to walk away from the whole course, if the second math session was going to be as hard as Mondays was, but it was ok. I'm not a quitter but I feel happier and a little less out of my depth now.

Kids have both had great days at school. Which is a first.

Gym instructor said I look like Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games which has cheered me up no end. He's not bad looking either, a little like Ralph Little but better looking.

One of the driving lessons was supposed to be a mock test ready for the actual test in a couple of weeks....I went too fast around a corner, freaked, spat the dummy out and refused to do anything else until he scrapped the mock test. After that I was fine.

All in all, it's been a fantastic day and the week hasn't been too bad.

How has everyone eles week been? Hope it been as good as mine.

My week was pretty good too Smile I went to tk maxx and pretty much finished my Christmas shopping, then I made another picture advent calendar with DS1. This week is the start of the present season for me, all my family's birthdays are between Thursday and the 8th of February. So I just buy twice as much and give half now, half at Christmas.

I'm very excited to have booked breakfast with Santa for me, DH and dd. I can't wait to see her little face!

0pheliaBalls · 16/09/2014 07:30

It's the first 'how many days' milestone...

Is it wrong to be this excited so early?!

ROFL at Lostlalaloopsy!!!!

Falls over missing gauntlet lying on the floor.

Starts to tut that MN will never be clean enough for Christmas at this rate with things being thrown around the place, and asks loudly "who left this here?"

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 17/09/2014 14:10

Ahh s'okay nick I had an appointment today so I knew I wouldn't have the chance to get my paws on the mouse today (I'm not one of those savvy people who has Apps and T'Interweb on the phone )

Fastest Fingers First today.

This morning I saw (and heard) a formation group of geese.
That is always a good sign that colder weather is on it's way (are they leaving or arriving, I have no idea)

Headed into town today and a Yankee candle shop has opened. So I am now sitting here with my new tart burner going and lots of festive scents! Got all my family christmas cards and some lovely red festive leggings for my LO and even managed to pick up a lot of frozen bits and pieces. Only a few things to get now. So excited.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 18/09/2014 18:05

Don't worry lost it's First Past the Post on here Grin

There's a Yankee Shop in Bluewater nick DD and I always go in for a nosey. But some branches of Debenhams and House of Frazer have them (good bargains sometimes)

I;m waiting for the Christmas ones to come onto QVC too.
