Countdown to 2016 - A whole extra day to wait...thread 2!

[MrsDilligaf]

Well hello avid countdowners....

A shiny new thread for us

Link to the last thread here

legz, it is more than likely that it is nothing. Just best to get checked out. And if it is something, they are amazing at fixing things.
nutritionfacts.org/topics/dairy/ is, imho, a great source of info for staving off these things.

Where is CC!

Hello I've been off work sick for a few weeks and have read the whole of this thread and the one before! It's been so entertaining and have got some good ideas too. Plus it's nice to know there are other people who love Christmas prep!

I've probably not even bought half of what I need as Ive not been able to do much shopping. And my gift tracking spreadsheet is on my work computer. Can't wait to get back so I can update it!

I went through all the Amazon boxes and packages and sorted out what was for each boy and everyone else. I have a bag for each son that is now hidden in my wardrobe. This is everything including stocking so not too bad!

Boys Christmas outfits arriving from gap this week, i got 40% off so pleased to have that sorted. They will be wrapped for them to open.

Mummy that looks like a good haul!
Fingers crossed for your upcoming appointment

Vanilla I've been off work for the last few weeks too. This thread is great isn't it?

I've made a start on the Christmas Good Housekeeping mag. There's an article in their about a little girl who had a heart transplant. I was blubbing away**

I've been trying to feel festive over the last week but I've been struggling as I've felt so unwell (and anxious) to today I decided not to force it, to just plough on with the blanket I'm making for DH and relax - and just that simple thing seems to have put me back on track

• in there not their

WTF was that about?!

Nice bit of spam. Wasn't very festive

Damn! I missed it!!

Mummy where did you get those bags from? I need a couple of those!

Home bargains this morning for £1.79 each. I'm going back for more!

Guess where I'll be going on Friday! Home bargains ha ha x

I've got to buy four small items but I wrapped everything else today. I love your bags Mummy - mine are stashed in bags for life with white sticky name labels on

This weekend coming is my last free weekend until Christmas. Next weekend I'm at the knitting and stitching show in Harrogate and I'm so excited.

Please pm your address to me so I can post festive writing paper and envelopes mentioned earlier this month.

I finished writing my cook book last night, this weekend I am going to make all the things I don't have photos of yet and then send it to the printers, should have 20 little books in the next two weeks!

I stick my round robin letter in the front, photos of what we have done in the year and 15 or so new recipes I have used this year.

Hairspray I love the idea. I'd be so happy to receive one of those!

They aren't that expensive, couple of quid each even for colour printed, and I include recipes that use up things in my Hampers, like my BBQ rub or my herb jelly.

I use blurb.com and it is genuinely so simple, I wrote the book in less than a few evenings and you get your order about 2 weeks later. Then you can go to people's houses and see all your little books on the shelf HairsprayBabe and HairsprayDude 2016, 2015 etc...

Next year im doing it. Thanks for the link.

No probs, I use the trade books, middle size in economy colour, they do really nice hardback photobooks, but when you want more than ten one it's a bit steep!
The trade books work fine for me though, never had any complaints!

CC, will PM you when I can - the button to send you a message is currently not showing for me.

Horace I'll only be able to post your parcel tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

That's a lovely idea, Hairspray. I'd never get my shit together enough for that!

And I don't mind, Woolly. I'm not home until tomorrow night anyway!

Bought some decorations today and the advent calendars and tree chocs.

Good Luck for Monday Mummy.

Thank you

Yes, good luck. Not long to wait now. Is your DH able to go with you? 💐💐
