Fluffy - waiting for a date, it was agreed in September so I am hopeful for the first half of the year. The only trouble is it is at an orthopaedic hospital an hour from home so probably won’t see the boys for a few days. At least next Christmas I won’t be crying walking around ikeA!!

Mrsmadevans · 26/12/2017 09:20

Hope everyone had the best of days. I bought a few things on Christmas eve I got the m& s perfume sets that were reduced to 12 and a couple of zebra cushions from asda. We had an amazing day I drank half a bottle of M& S Yule log think Bailey's but more choc and it did me the world of good lol hic! I also had a few drops of bachs rescue remedy this morning and it was very relaxing --it was either that or the yule log that relaxed me lol. Now for the cleaning up and putting away of stuff .....my handbag from NESS was to die for I love it!!!
here is a pic of bag it is not as garishly pink as it looks in the pic lol and a pic of me n hubbs pre imbibing Yule log lol .
Have a great boxing day everyone one year to go !

ohhhh Fridge hope it hurries up and you can be better very soon my dear.

WreckTangled · 26/12/2017 09:26

Fridge what are they doing? I've been told
I'll be lucky to get to 40 without having a hip replacement so I feel your pain (literally)

FridgeCut · 26/12/2017 09:37

Ah Wreck, the young adult hip team are trying to preserve my hip as they put it :) i was born with hip dysplasia that no one noticed. I had it reshaped and washed out and cartilage shaved seven years ago. This time they are going to remove a rather massive cyst, wash it out and then staple the cartilage to my hip socket. They are hoping I’ll get to 50 before a full replacement. I might get a resurfacing before then.

Mrs - thank you. I love your hand bag, the Yule log and the picture! You look very happy and well together.

This is wilf and I being silly with our nerf guns before I had to lay on the sofa with the stupid hip.

Come one come all. It’s countdown to Christmas 2018!
Mrsmadevans · 26/12/2017 09:44

Fridge, you poor thing .....aw bless you that sounds horrific sweetie . Hope they get it done asap for you .
You and Wilf look like the Avengers lol great picture your house is so clean it's lovely.. gleaming comes to mind

ConstantlyCooking · 26/12/2017 09:58

Best wishes to Fridge.
Thank you to sprouts for the new thread.

Looking forward to my turkey and pickle today plus trifle that I made even though i knew we were going to SIL's after lunch and wouldn't have time to eat it.

hashtagelfie · 26/12/2017 10:01

Oh fringe it sounds like a nightmare! Hope the surgery comes soon! Looks like you had some fun yesterday.

We had a lovely day yesterday. First one in 13years that we've had a ridiculously early start (3am! Wtf!) but no one was allowed downstairs until 7 so it was a lot of "go back to bed" (they have their stockings on their beds so had something to open and play not very quietly with). Had a moment when I realised dh had put ds1's main tree present in his stocking and dh did the whole "well how am I meant to know" thing which was incredibly frustrating as I had only wrapped it at 11pm Christmas Eve in front of dh and discussed it was for the tree Angry men! Next year I will be filling all the stockings as dh obviously cannot be trusted lol.
They all loved their gifts and that's the main thing.

And although we were absolutely shattered last night we were still up to 10pm wrapping as it's ds3's birthday today. Definitely no thread baby from here, dh has had a vasectomy as 4 dc are plenty!

Disappointed in sales, although I did spend a bit too much in the sass and belle sale on Christmas decorations for next year. Oops

TheWoollybacksWife · 26/12/2017 10:17

NO THREAD BABY FROM ME EITHER THANK YOU. I turn 50 during this countdown and I'm too old for any of that nonsense dontcha know.

WreckTangled · 26/12/2017 10:53

I have bilateral hip dysplasia but apart from some pain and wonkiness it's not too bad right now!

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 26/12/2017 11:08

Ah, Fridge. Sounds really painful. I hope it's done soon and sorts you out for ages.

Mrs, I got a Ness bag for my birthday and love it! It's browns and yellows, however, but yours is lovely too!

Nobody volunteering to have a baby then? We need some new recruits to oblige. Or Hairspray! Xmas Grin

GingerIvy · 26/12/2017 11:13

Merry Christmas (a day late!!).

Definitely looking forward to next year. I have some changes we're going to make to decrease the thread, but not sure exactly what.... still mulling it over.

HairsprayBabe · 26/12/2017 12:42

Hope you all had a lovely christmas placemarking for 2018 πŸŽ„πŸ˜šβ€

ChristmasAddict · 26/12/2017 12:53

No babies from me I'm afraid, DH has had the snip :)

tootsieglitterballs · 26/12/2017 14:03

2 mini Hunan’s is enough for us... having a 3 week old and a toddler at Christmas has been wonderful, if a tad stressful getting everything ready! I’m amazed we managed!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 26/12/2017 16:02

No Christmas Thread Babies here (I'm 51, that ship has definately sailed, sold up and battened down the hatches )

My teens had better wait years before making me a Grandmother , I'm not ready for any of that yet.

DD slept through her guinea-pigs sqwacking for breakfast (I know it wasn't my piggie , hers are the loud ones ) so I said she better wake up when her human babies cry - but she reckons all her babies will be like her (ie woke up, feed,change, no drama Xmas Grin )

SideOrderofSprouts · 26/12/2017 16:16

Apparently we’re wrong

brizzledrizzle · 26/12/2017 17:50

I'm almost ready, the tree is up and I've got the wrapping paper and cards. I just need to buy the presents now.

Mrsmadevans · 26/12/2017 18:02

Mrsmadevans · 26/12/2017 18:04

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 26/12/2017 18:16
