We're rocking around the Christmas tree, waiting for Santa to come to town. It's countdown to Christmas thread 4!!

99 days to go

disclaimer. This thread is up early because I am old and tired and need to go to bed. It's actually 99 from midnight

Aren’t, not are. Sigh! 😂

I love it all

that robin cake is totally adorable!!

It feels real now all the shops are releasing their stuff

Thanks Fluffy , Those trees look pretty good .
I'd need to peruse each one, I know I want a 5' , prelit (I'd like warm white and colour but if not I can add a strand of lights )

Costco had a couple of trees in ( £230 ish for the smaller one)
I think QVC will have trees this weekend but the P&P is nearly £10.

I'll have a look at Balsam Hill too (swoon) and Homebase/B&Q

I love that robin cake!

We got a 6’ prelit one, 70. We really like it!

The works has my little pony and paw patrol paper in. I didn't order it only three rolls of each

😂😂

I'm planning to pick up some Pokemon wrapping paper for mega Christmas Bah-Humbug DS (18 in Dec), it'll make him smile

I'm slowly picking up little things for DD Beauty Advent

We're sorted for advent calendars and pjs now

They had some Harry Potter wrapping paper in Primark today 1.50 for 5m , not particularly festive but HARRY POTTER!!!!
80 days omg I am so looking forward to it thats 11 weeks Monday !
Took very elderly mum shopping today lots of sweetie offers about .I nearly bought 3 boxes of coconut Lindt but sense prevailed and I put them back Phew that was a close call !!

Matalan has pokemon paper in - got some for Pokemon mad ds2.
Last year the co op has some bargainous star wars paper in I bought several rolls

Might need to find the HP paper tomorrow. Though I detest Primark! (Crowded, like a jumble sale!)

@FridgeCut a photo of my mincemeat is attached! (Thank you for the recipe!)

Oops.

Oops.

@MuddlingThroughLife I hope your DS's appointment went well today.

No Christmas stuff done today unless you count changing the summer duvet for the winter duvet and thus freeing up some more stash space in my underbed storage space.

I missed that, Muddling. I hope the appointment went well. ❤️❤️

I'm almost on top of
Ours now

Fluffy it just has to be done gird your loins and elbows at the ready !
Magnificent mincemeat!
Muddling hope all is well with your DS my dear
Sprout what are you on top of my dear?
Woolly I did the exact thing yesterday for the elderly parents and they sweated all night lol , DF was so tired he fell asleep in the car coming home lol aw bless him , course he could have been bored to death by me and my DM gossiping lol

Is it possible to buy a tree with fibre optic lights (no wires) and decorations that you don't take off (just fold up and put away). Is this something I dreamt up or does it really exist?
I'm not thinking of it for me. Christmas wouldn't be the same without wrestling with a tree, tripping myself up with a tangle of lights and taking three days to put on all the baubles 😂
But it would be ideal for my elderly parents!

Thank you woolly, fluffy and Mrs. MRI went well, he's used to them now. Just got to wait for the results, probably Tuesday when we next have outpatients. I will keep you posted you lovely ladies 💖

Fingers crossed for you Muddling

😴

Argghhh! Into the 70s we go! Exciting times!

I need to get up and finish my mincemeat off (needs 3 hours in the oven now!).

I also have a kids’ birthday party to go to as DD (4) has two parties she’s invited to today. DH is doing the other one while I take DS into town to buy a potty training reward toy! The excitement of my life! 😂

Fingers crossed muddling!

Ds2 seems off colour, two dodgy nappies yesterday and a tiny bit of sick in the sink. Hoping it isn't a bug but I know there is one going around. Had hoped me and Wilf could go to b&m and primark later but might not be fair to leave dh to cope alone.
