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

Oh wow I love that “have yourself a merry little Christmas” t shirt, that’s my kind of thing,

I have...& I bought at that price too (feels smug!)

And another one which also says meet me under the mistletoe but is a black monsoon jumper I found in the summer sale, got a look from the sales assistant! But £15! Steal!

Should not have just looked at that house of Fraser sale though oops!

Love your “hello 2018” t shirt idea might steal that one!!

I need to find something festive, nice & NON RESTRICTIVE for Xmas day!!

I bought myself the M&S Leopard Coat, I shall be swanning about in it .
DD is discusted because we are both vegetarian.
I don't wear fur (faux) because I don't like it but I'm ok to pretend to be an exotic big cat (provided I didn't skin it ) . Animal is a Neutral

Just saw that the Lights were on in Regent Street, DD wants a London trip (Oxford Street), my coat might have a Day Out .

DD will not refuse to go out with Me&The Coat because I will buy her loads a few things.

Love that about the leopard coat 70isa! Leopard needs to go to London to see the lights!

46

I want to see the coat! 🐯(No leopard emoji!)

I need to do a new thread soon!

I was just coming back to alert you to that. Over the weekend probably?

Do you reckon that'll be it? How many did we do last year (I was a late joiner; this has been my first full year!)?

I've bought the M&S beauty advent calendar! So excited! Can't believe how fast it is going. My embossing heat gun still hasn't arrived, so want to crack on with my cards, tags and wrap!!

Doing trial run shortbread and macarons this weekend :)

I still havn't got all my gifts and I have no wrapping paper, DP persuaded me that I started too early last year I can now see very clearly he was wrong and very mad to suggest that!

I'm done. And twitching. So there's probably a nice middle ground! 😂

I wanted to be just finished now with only wrapping to do, instead I have 24 plus DPs to get I may be going into panic mode!

I am down to three people. I then have a few people to buy giftcards for and I'm done.

I'm just about done for the DCs - I need to make something for DD1 and buy DD2 perfume but I'd like to find somewhere with an offer on to get more bang for my buck. DH has got 2 trips abroad before Christmas so could Duty Free it if absolutely necessary. Has anyone used Hogiesonline for beauty stuff? They appear to have the best price.

DH's gifts are bought or ordered.

Nieces and nephews - I know what I'm getting but haven't bought them yet (4 families).

DMIL - DH sorts her present.

DMUM - but most likely a group present with my siblings. I've made her a Christmas cake but after that I'm stumped.

DD2's boyfriend will need a gift but I'll go shopping with DD2 to help me.

I need to buy for my secret Santa but we put a list up in the office with suggestions so it won't require much brain power.

I need to order my food (Morrisons) over the weekend and think about what I can make ahead for the freezer, then I think I'm prepped to the max.

I've got my Sainsbury’s order all ready to go when I can finally order it on 23rd. It's moved back to 24th Nov at the moment, so I just have to log in at midnight on 22nd to move it. I've even put an alert on my phone to remind me!

I've got to go to store next week to do my double up. But I'm being conservative this year and only doubling up with £20 of points, as I don't drink much wine, and that'll get me 6 various bottles which will definitely see me through!

I’ll probably stay up tonight to make one :)
Then we can fill this one tomorrow with Christmas songs lol

You have all been so busy and so good!
Sprout wth are you gonna call the new thread?
I wouldn't have the foggiest......
I have been busy myself , DF to hospital for appts x 2. DM to hosp for appt x 1. took ndn to visit his DW in hosp, I feel like I am back in work.
Prescription checkup for me for my annual checkup phew !
Hope all ok, take care everyone keep up the brilliant work!!

I have had three glasses of wine. I shall think of something

Could be interesting! 😂

I've been having a first go at embossing, they look so cool. Can't wait to make some tags and cards.

Looking forward to what the final thread of the year is called!!

I love that embossing!

Could well be as I’m falling asleep now!! Is anyone going to be awake and I’ll pm them thread title 😂

Sod it. It can be half hour early 😂😂
