OCTOBER?!!!!

NoWordForFluffy · 11/09/2017 14:09

That's what I was told! 😱😡

SunSeptember · 11/09/2017 14:22

Annwithnoe are you sure she doesn't believe believe...my dd always curiosity and doesn't even believe in God at religious school still has a few wonton belief tentacles in FC. She's nearly 10 Shock and has been asking for years.. I have always been vague... I think she knows now but doesn't want me too confirm it if you know what I mean... but she definitely carried on believe ing years ago after asking etc.

VivaJen · 11/09/2017 15:06

Bloody M & S! I'd boycott them but there's zero chance of that!!!!

SunSeptember · 11/09/2017 16:33

I'm feeling very impressed that I managed to get my Waddesdon Manor House tickets - I'm not surprised they sold out for the weekends - it's always stunning

are you sure sold OUT I just got some for weekend...

nickdrakeslovechild · 11/09/2017 18:05

I asked in M&S today, was told next month too.

After she gave me "the look" you know the one, as in why on earth are you wanting it now. Dont these people know we need to plan!!!! Xmas Grin

I did freak someone out today by telling them I have done 99% of my Christmas shopping twich, twich

nickdrakeslovechild · 11/09/2017 18:07

I mean twitch, twitch I spelt it wrong twice!

NoWordForFluffy · 11/09/2017 18:18

I got look too, nickdrake 😂

MrsDilligaf · 11/09/2017 18:20

OOh...I'll have another look at tickets. I need 10 for 2nd Dec!

Mrsmadevans · 11/09/2017 18:59

Ahh Mrs D hope Martha is much better today
Good luck with the tickets
Been looking at loads of things for Xmas and am feeling very fat
Think I need a bit of weight off before Xmas
so that I can scoff to my hearts content wear my fave xmas outfit Hmm

SideOrderofSprouts · 11/09/2017 19:35

October.....OCTOBER?!?!? What is this fuckery!!

In other news. My thread baby is 2 on Sunday!!!

FireflyGirl · 11/09/2017 21:54

Can't believe how quickly that's come around again, Sprout. It just passes so quickly. DS is 2.6 on Wednesday, and I'm so excited because he'll understand this year so look forward to it next year.

But I've seen some people on MN saying their 6 year olds don't believe in Santa any more. Surely you get more than 3 years of them believing?!?

Hope Martha's feeling better today, MrsD.

MrsM I've started a support thread in the weightloss chat for losing weight before Christmas if you wanted to join me?

Getting closer!

NoWordForFluffy · 12/09/2017 07:00

Are we all gunning to be the one who announces 99?! 😂

MuddlingThroughLife · 12/09/2017 07:34

Am I the only one who counts down in sleeps? According to my app it's 104 sleeps to 🎅 🎗

HairsprayBabe · 12/09/2017 08:01

I believed until 9ish, my sister the same.

My brother is 7 years younger than me and we helped continue the magic until he was 11.

My youngest cousin had to be told at almost 12 because he was going to secondary and his mum didnt want him bullied.

TBH though we all still pretend, and I never admitted that I didn't believe, you don't get a stocking otherwise!

tootsieglitterballs · 12/09/2017 09:04

@HairsprayBabe I never admitted it either, and never will! I've always been a huge Christmas geek , from a very young age and have no intentions of ever calming down!

DH wasn't massively into Christmas when we met (he was mid 20s, worked in hospitality so hadn't had a Christmas Day off for yonks type) but when we got together he saw Christmas like he had never seen it before , and it was magical for him! He's now mid 30s and has been hugely into Christmas ever since (obviously nowhere near as much as me, but more than normal blokes)

Now we have DS1 and DS2 on the way, he gets even more excited!

NoWordForFluffy · 12/09/2017 09:54

@Muddlingthroughlife we count to Christmas Eve on this thread, which is why it's a day out (seemingly!).

MrsDilligaf · 12/09/2017 10:39

Whoever announces that there are 99 days has to come and cook dinner for us all Xmas Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 12/09/2017 10:41

Ha ha ha!!!! What's the location for the dinner?!

MuddlingThroughLife · 12/09/2017 12:21

Ah right fluffy, thanks! 🎗

SideOrderofSprouts · 12/09/2017 12:21

It's my fault we are a day out. I got a bit excited on Christmas Day 😂😂

NoWordForFluffy · 12/09/2017 14:27

Easy done, Sprouts! 😂🎄🎅

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/09/2017 18:16

Have to cook dinner for y'all? eh?
Could be a Practice Pre-Christmas Meal, just so we're Pitch Perfect by the big day.

Good job I put the sprouts on a rolling boil just before Valentines Day then Xmas Wink
