So,, into the one hundred and fifties now.
Not in the least bit Christmassy here in Darkest Essex.

Next week is QVC Christmas in July but I'll be at work so I'll look online (I think it's a toy that's the TSV. I've bought wrapping bags before which are gorgeous and some Liny Bowman boxes - they are soooooooo nice, well made and will last many years if you keep them safe)

Yay I love Christmas in July

Well ive got some christmas bits sorted

I'm laid up at the moment. i've torn several ligaments in my ankle so can't drive or walk :(

Get better soon Chip

In the meantime there is internet shopping

Sorry to hear it, Chip! Hope you recover soon.

I invested in 30M of led lights today...where they will end up going is another matter entirely

hello everyone,

chip that sounds awfully inconvenient, get well soon.
I haven't done any xmas prep today but I did walk thru a certain section of Debenhams and think "this will be full of xmas come mid nov" :-)
My little one has so far only woken up twice tonight, fingers crossed everyone for no more wake-ups and a peaceful safe sleep for her!

Im off for surgery tomorrow :(

Got to have screws put into my ankle. So plaster cast for 4 weeks!!

Oh dear Chips sending you lots of virtual ice and snow to keep you cool for the next while as well as festive [snow] (well, that might work?!)

Snow would be lovely but i would probably slip and break the other one on it

Oh Chips that's really nightmare.

But then if you have to rest you have to get WAY ahead of the game rest.

Wishing you a very speedy recovery.

Oh goodness. Typing on a phone left handed does nothing to help writing a post...

It should've read "that's a real nightmare"!

Hope it all went well today Chips and the Post Op Painkillers are still kicking in )

Can't sleep as bay is really noisy. So doing some shopping for Christmas instead

Bought some one direction make up for dd1 as a gift for all she's doing to help me at he moment. £2.99 a set at super drug. She doesn't like one direction but I know she will like the make up

My big ankle boot

Have they said when you'll be going home? Fingers crossed for today.

Argh!!

Thought I was sending a text!! Apologies for the kisses I'm not normally so effusive on my posts

I don't worry I accept your kisses wth festive spirit!

They haven't yet. All I know is it hurts like a bitch.

Eeek chips. That sounds painful.

I'd somehow dropped off the Xmas thread, was having a panic but calm is restored now. :)

I'm home with epic drugs. If you don't hear from me it's because I'm Ina pain relief stupor not feeling anything!!

Sending my best wishes too Chip.
Currently I have a horrible, oozy rash all over my face (allergic reaction plus infection). No pain, but I think I scare children in the streetplus I am away on holiday with DH and DC.
