Oh come all ye Countdowners

[SevenSwansASwimming]

The countdown to Christmas 2015 has already started. I've ordered some clothes in the next sale so even the present buying has started.

This time I'm more determined to keep buying throughout the year, and keep posting here regularly.

Thank you.

We're nearly ready, I ordered the last presents this morning, and Asda is delivering the food order on Monday night

The food order?!! [confused

Oh for the extra Christmas! Sorry, must improve my reading comprehension skills. Thought you'd already done your food shopping for December!

Sadly I'm not quite that organised!

Hi seven I've just read your thread but didn't click on that it was you! Life is so unfair sometimes

Hope you all have a fab summer Christmas. What is DS getting? Do they believe in FC still? Is he coming?

Hi chesty.

Yes they still believe, but FC is too busy getting everything ready for the real Christmas so he can't come. DS has a UK Counties floor puzzle as he's obsessed with maps. We originally said one present each. A few people have asked if they could send small presents to DS so he has a few extra ones which mostly sound like Lego. We've bought the Little People Disney princess palace as an extra one for DD1&2 to share to make it fair. DD3 is still too young to notice.

Completely outing myself but we've made it onto the front page of this weeks local paper!

I'm going to look at the article in a minute, the pic looks lovely!

Are you ready for tomorrow?

(BTW, I hope you know who I am, I think it's obvious )

Oh my, just read it You need D.I.Y. SOS!!! You think any of your friends / family can nominate you?

Aw bugger I missed it! Belated Merry Christmas to you all seven

4 months to December, 4 pay days

I haven't even started yet this year! Will all have to wait until after Florida in September

Oooh, Florida in September sounds great!

We are off on holiday tomorrow, yay! SUNSHINE!!!! I seriously need it, this weather is pissing me right off. 42 degrees heat, bring it on

I can't wait to put out my 5 (or 6?) trees that I bought in the January sales.

After DS's birthday end of August I will go into full Christmas mood.

Zombie have you name changed?

We're are you going on holiday? Hope you have a lovely time.

6 trees?! My tiny house has room for one

Have you worked out who I am yet? If not PM and I'll let you know. Although, it's pretty obvious once I start talking about Christmas stuff again...

We are off to Egypt. 42 degrees, yay! The hotter the better

I've worked it out from the 6 trees!

Have fab holidays.

Is anyone around? I baked my Christmas cake today, it's 10 inches, as requested by DS . I'm very behind with presents though, I've normally done most of it by now, all I have is a few clothes I bought in January.

Hope Egypt and Florida were fab. We applied for a wish from a children's charity for DS. He wanted to go to Legoland, we're off in a fortnight for a couple of days.

Did I mention we had started a trust to fundraise for the adaptations and equipment DS needs and will need in the future. We need to raise 50k, we started in June and have raised 21 already! We have a Facebook page, if anyone wants the details PM me.

Hi seven

I'm here came back from Florida on Tuesday, was fabulous! Still feeling the jet lag tho.

I'm way behind too, was too focused on holiday to Christmas shop.
Got a few presents on holiday and ordered my work teams pressies online yesterday.

I hope DS enjoys Legoland( and the rest of you)
21k already is amazing!

Thanks chesty. Glad you enjoyed Florida.

I got a bargain!!

Yankee candle crackers should be £7 each,I got 6 for £28 . Yay!

Happy Halloween Countdowners

Yay! All that Halloween rubbish is out of the way and we can concentrate on the really fun stuff

54 days and counting!

Has come round quickly!!

Am loving all the Christmas ads, can't decide if I like John Lewis or Sainsburys and Mog better?

Where's everyone up to? I've made a good dent in the list of stuff to buy but have a way to go yet [santa]

I got the morrissons food brochure today, looks nice.
