It's almost Christmas in July time - Christmas Countdown 2018 part 4

[BiddyPop]

I believe it's day 190

HOW did we get past the 200 mark so fast? And only 12 Days until Christmas in July starts, for anyone who celebrates that.

Unless you’ve specifically be told otherwise it should be.

Depends. Our school have to have a plain blue or black costume only. Should be in uniform list.

Thanks Crazy x

Urgh. Ive been away on a hen do, got back at lunchtime, had some cuddles with DS who has been very clingy, then he vomited all over my face. I suppose I should be grateful it wasn't the couch!

DH and I were all but doing rock, paper scissors to decide who stays off with him then DH asked DMIL, which is cheating.

Probably part of the reason he had accidents last week.

I'm sat with him while he goes to sleep, which I very rarely do. Then I'll go properly wash my hair...

This sort of thing is what puts me off having another!

It's not part of uniform. You can buy their logo'd swimming hat, but it's not compulsory. Thanks both of you.

Oh yuck Firefly. 😷 How is he?

Had veggie korma for supper, DS2's going to bed now. 😋🍠🍄🍅🍆😴

Of they haven't said one way or another a tankini will be fine. Not like you're sending her in a thong!

He's asleep thanks, PSB, so hopefully he'll sleep it off and be okay tomorrow as they're having a bit of a party at nursery on Wednesday and he'd be sad to miss it.

Thanks Firefly.

Oh yes, I hope he's all better for his party, poor little lamb.

AHHH your poor DS Firefly bless him hope he is better soon poor lamb.
PSB l doubt if they will even notice your DD is wearing tankini lovely so don't worry .
Fluffy hope the allotment digging went well and DH back is not giving him hell
Back to work tomoz for you is horrible never mind soon be Thursday evening before you know it.
Been windy and rainy as hell here but very nice if l am honest with you will never be satisfied lol
Have a good evening all

Thanks Mrs. 😀

No digging got done, Mrs, as the clearing isn't done yet! I'll dig next week to get spuds in. We both ache though. I did 5 hours, he did 3.5.

It looks great though.

Firefly, that's pretty grim indeed. Poor DS and you! I hope your mouth was closed!

Ahhh neer mind Fluffy it will soon be done you will be planting in there before you know it ! Nice bath with a few epsom salts in for the aches and pains and soon be good as new!
Weather here is windy as hell great big gusts of it , l love it !!

Hey flapjackfairy! Glad to see another Christmassy person over here x

I’m awake at this stupid o clock time cos I stupidly agreed to help on Scout camp. Can’t get comfortable so wide awake. Trying to get some more sleep though as there’s a lot of physical work later to start striking camp (they’re here for 10 days, the boys troupe were here the previous 10 days, and there’s an arctic truck coming tomorrow to fill with gear and boats ).

On a good note, there’s some love pine trees around the site, so I’ll be grabbing a bag of cones for crafts and firelighters before I leave tomorrow. And as I’m driving, I’m going to get a decent coffee en route and make a stop in an outdoor shop in the 2nd town on the way back.

Welcome back Flapjack, hugs for a rough year.

Lottie clearing and bonus blackberries sounds good Fluffy. I’d echo MrsMad about Epsom salts.

Hugs to your DS too Firefly, I hope he’s doing better today and that he enjoys DGM spoiling him.

Ok, feet warmed up a little after the trek across the field - I may get another 😴 before breakfast

Morning!

Back to work today after 6 working days out of the office. I'm guessing there'll be 240+ emails plus about 50-60 items of post to process. Wish me luck! 😂

I slept like the dead for most of last night, though my shoulder gave me issues at about 3.30am.

Nice and sunny so far, though showers forecast for later on. Our washing was put out last night, so is hopefully dry now. DH can get it in before the rain strikes! 😁

Morning all
Fluffy have a good day at work my dear , l know, even though l loved my job, after my hols l never wanted to go back espesh when the little ones were off school.
Biddy l don't know how she does it that is so kind of you to give you time up like this for nothing well done to you , l take my hat off to you.
Am up early to take mum to the dentist very early 0900 appt, she has to have 4 teeth out and 2 fillings today , lm going to stay with her quite a few hours after the work is done to make sure she is ok bless her .
Got a Tesco delivery coming too so will clean cook and generally do everything while l am there . So help me God!
Right l better shift , have a great day everyone

Morning! DS2's playing Terraria in bed, I'm drinking coffee in bed.

Fluffy looks like you've done loads of work!! What are you planning on planting in there?

Sorry to hear about your terrible year flapjack

Crazybaubles the crocheting is going painfully slowly!!! My mother in law is great so she's going to give some tips. I've seen loads of lovely crocheted cushion covers that look fab if you're looking for stuff! It be a while until I can attempt them

Well apart from the lashings of rain, Little Mix were fab! And dd absolutely loved it!!

To start with it's potatoes and lettuce, lost. Then almost everything next year. Ooh. And carrots too as I've got some I can sow NOW! I'm very excited to be getting going!

I'm glad you had fun at Little Mix. My friend enjoyed it too!

Afternoon all
Mums dentist appt was cancelled so l went up there that early for nothing !! Never mind l was there for 5 hours and managed to do everything that needed doing . Washing & hanging it all out 2 massive loads, cleaning, cooking, washed and dressed mum, put the Tesco delivery away, washed the doors and window ledges outside and wrapped up presents for their little step great grandaughters birthday tomorrow. She is 5 bless her and they are coming to see us tomorrow so that will be lovely for Mum and Dad to see her. Bought her a doll with a separate set of clothes it is lovely .
I am home now and exhausted , when l got up to the parents this morning Dad had the heating on and it was terrible there, the sweat was running off me . It was so bad l got DH to go home before he realised because he would have gone on so much about it .
Am just looking at the rumoured run up of suggested contestants for Strictly on Digital Spy l don't know half of them
www.digitalspy.com/tv/strictly-come-dancing/feature/a851871/strictly-come-dancing-2018-lineup-rumours-celebrities-dancers-contestants-bbc-scd/
Also am looking forward to seeing The Bake off again, l love the new line up of presenters , never thought l would but they are both lovely .
My NDN is home today from 14 weeks in hospital, will pop around to see him tomorrow. l expect he will be really tired today so will leave him settle in.
Have a lovely afternoon everyone

Went to the Sainsbury's café for lunch, DS2 had bangers, mash, peas and gravy, a chocolate eclair and a Haribo cupcake, DD had cottage pie, peas and gravy, a chocolate brownie and a Black Forest cupcake, I had cottage pie, peas and gravy and a Magnum Double Caramel, dropped them off at Adventure. 😋🍫🍒

I like the sound of the Haribo cupcake how sad am l

I'd like the Black Forest cupcake

Ooh no, Haribo are too sweet, but yy to the Black Forest one. 😋

Picked the DC up, had sweet and sour chicken and egg-fried rice for supper, DS2's in bed. 😋🍗🍚😴
