365 to go

Congratulations Lolly!! Toot toot! 🚗

Congrats Lolly. I hope you and Ethel have lots of adventures.

Congrats lolly!!

Thanks lolly!

Congrats Lolly!

I'm sat in hospital bed. Need cake. Very drowsy still. Ankle has been descrewed. Am keeping away from bargain threads as might accidentally buy stuff!!

Well done Lolly - you'll be able to take yourself off on Christmas shopping trips

Speedy recovery Sprout and definitely step away from the Internet shopping. I have heard (ahem) that shopping while under the influence of alcohol or strong painkillers is not recommended

Hope your better soon sprout. Descrewing ankle sounds painful!

Sprout - sending you virtual and a decent . I took my own teabags and mug into hospital when I was having Martha. I refuse to drink a crap cuppa.

Nods in agreement with Woolly Internet shopping while under the influence is A Bad Thing. Do Not Do It.

I would kill for cake. Just had Doctor round as had some cheats tightness and I'm all fine. Couldn't get any blood as veins refused to play ball. Probably the size of the FUCKING needle to be fair!

He was impressed with my vocabulary of swear words.

Now I'm wide awake after being dozy all day and everyone else is asleep. Sigh.

Yes random shit got ordered when I was in hospital with baby chips. And when I came in with ankle first time. And for frankenfinger. Hmmm

Congrats Lolly - first time I drove after my test was with my boss's dog as my sidekick, she didn't trust me (obvs) and spend the whole time curled up in the footwell. I am now waiting for my DS (17) to start driving lessons (he does 'Young Driver' but hasn't made any moves towards the 'L'plates )

Side my Aunt made a few random QVC purchases after a couple of sherberts .
Rest up but stay off the shopping sites for now

On the shopping front, I bought some reduced price chocolates (UseBy date March so I'm ok)

Thanks Mrsmadevans, I had been doing really well. Not too bad today but...I had 4 chocies and chip butties for tea. I will be good this week! :p
Congrats Lolly, I hope you and Ethel have lots of fun! I'm sure you'll be driving like a pro in no time.

Lol. I really should stop buying them... :p

Kitty cat what's the quality like of those bags. There lovely.

I don't know yet Brightermornings , I've ordred a few of them (Two of the tins.) but they are coming from overseas so will take a while. I must say I ordered quite a lot of Christmas decorations the same way last year and the quality was very good. Hope that helps!

Hope your ankle is better Sprout

How are you feeling, Sprouts? Hopefully on the mend! 😁

My Prezzybox order has dispatched. Sadly no extra crayons put in there though. Not the best customer service as they've not even looked at my message, I don't think.

Phew! Just caught up with you all. Been waiting for a chance to sit down with tea and a biscuit and read this thread and it's been one thing after another!
Didn't manage much for Rudolph day, except to buy a new chocolate silicone mound which I absolutely don't need
Loving the woolly hugs squares, I'm going to pop into the local wool shop during the week and see if they have the right sort.
I've committed to decluttering one thing every day however small rather than letting myself get overwhelmed by the big declutter. Still feeling intimidated though!

Very sore horace stitches going to leave nasty scars as well

Oh, sorry Sprouts, must have missed your post. Hope your ankle feels better today, hopefully the soreness will wear off soon. I prescribe Christmas shopping to make you feel better!
