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

Hump day today, thank god!

Honorary Welsh sounds good, especially now I've lost my honorary Scottish badge! 😁

Peachy, that's rubbish. How long had you been in the role (inc. mat leave) and did they follow any dismissal process?

MrsD, I hope M feels better soon. Our two have dodged CP a few times. Goodness knows how. They had what looked like a mild dose recently, but I'm not sure whether it was or not, so we're still waiting for it really.

CBeebies, I hope your cat is back now.

Definitely agree with the hump day relief! I'm on a training course all day today which sounds like a thrill a minute....

can't think of anything else I'd rather do [fhmmm]

The joy of training days taking you away from your real job and making the rest of the week more hectic!

I start a new job next week (after the current new job turned out to be an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions!) so I imagine I'll have some training to do for most of the week!

Please can I join? I've been driving everyone nuts with my countdown and constant Christmas jingle humming....

Someone please tell me when it's acceptable to stick your Christmas swing dress on? I'm 13 weeks pg so not sure it'll actually fit by the big day!

Hi, Mama. I'd say it's more than acceptable, particularly in your situation!

Cold and dark here this morning, the nights are closing in, and I have decided to pop to aroma at lunch time for a good old yankee candle sniff.

I get paid on Friday, so I may be making some purchases!

Day 68 Fluffs... how marvellous is that ! Good luck in the new Job too I am sure you will smash it!
Hairspray it is miserable and dank here and I mean DANK! I sympathise!
Am off Yankee candles at the min the smell makes me want to scoff and scoff to my hearts content , wait till Christmas eve then the house will be ablazen with Yankees of all shapes and smells and I will be in my armchair hung over from stollen ,mince pies, yule log and anything else that takes my fancy food orgy !
Welcome Mama get that dress on sweetie , wear it with pride and congratulations on the baby ahhh we always have a baby due on here don't we ? Just lovely ! Forgive me if I have missed out another baby due xx

Can someone nail me to the floor. It’s keep dropping off. Damn Work!

Cat is back :)

Hugs to all that need them, feeling poorly and my memory is shot.

Today I am making crumpets, I have no idea why, but maybe if they are delicious I can make some over Christmas as a wintery treat (to use up the cheeseboard...). The recipe makes 12 so I hope they freeze!

I order some really cheap jingle bells from Amazon to tie onto presents, hoping it'll make things look special and not silly!

Ooh let me know how the homemade crumpets go fridge!

They went well! And only one burn :)

Ooh. Nice!

Gabriel really enjoyed them for his lunch :) Definitely a nice Christmas treat I'll do over Twixmas.

Nothing especially festive going on here today, I am really looking forwards to the clocks going back next week!

What do you do when you get soaked on the school run, put on festive fluffy leggings of course

And then have someone turn up to read the gas and electric meters

D's went to school for four whole hours today so I went on a bit of a spree
