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.

Morning all
Typical to be up early on your day off Fluffy enjoy the beach!
it must be catching from PSB lol, sorry to hear your poor DF has his bypass cancelled twice PSB , the only glimmer of hope is that he must be one of the fitter ones waiting for the op because they do the most at risk first , not much consolation but a little bit , .
Off up the Parents shoppio for them first, then sorting them out for the day!
DH shoulder is awful bless him l think he will have to gird his loins and go to the GP no matter how much he hates it!
Have a lovely day everyone

In a moment of weakness yesterday, I agreed to join the “family surfing lesson” this afternoon - DSis (the “cool auntie”) and I, DD and 2 DNs- there’so room for more but people forgot swimsuits apparently!

I’m just glad I have 2 days with not much driving before going back home - things ache today. We were very late getting going as dd was still in pjs when I got home after 5 yesterday! Just had a cup of tea in bed (DN came in with it 👍) and about to face the day....

I want your DN Biddy!

DD's back home at 1 - 1.30 today, she's going to camp at 3.15 tomorrow, it's in Kent, so only a 1.5 hour drive. They take them in the minibus from the local church. If they want breakfast in Sainsbury's tomorrow, they'll need to be up early, as when we do that we usually end up having lunch about 3. It's such a big Sainsbury's it takes about an hour to go round, then I have to cook it.

Mrs, my shoulder is also terrible. I've barely slept in a fortnight as I can't lie on it and it's my preferred side for sleeping. Not good! I hope your DH gets sorted. I can't find time to go to the doctor yet!

Oh dear everyone is falling apart! Hope shoulders etc all start feeling better soon :) I'm exciting as my cross stitch supplies have been delivered.

Afternoon all
Biddy well done for entering into the spirit and going surfing , l am very impressed !
PSB you must have an amazing Sains near you , l am slightly lol
Fluffy your poor shuolder and my DH's shoulder is really hurting him he is so crotchety and miserable bless him. I told him to come and lie down with a hot water bottle to get some relief, he is upstairs now as we speak , it does seem to be helping. I want him to go and see the chiropractor to see if they can manipulate his neck l will manipulate it for him lol , to release the nerve but may as well save my breath .
Sorted out the parents then went to visit a poorly little girl l used to nurse, in the hospital, she seems a little better this afternoon thank God, then my Friend and her son came for a cuppa before they go to France in a Caravan for 2 weeks tomorrow about 8 of them , l have warned her it is going to be boiling there , she is very sensible. l think they will have a lovely time. l don't envy her though 8 ppl in one van for 2 weeks .
So all in all l have had quite a busy day.
Hope all having a good day the sun has just put his hat on here YAY!!!

Thank you for the god wishes for the shoulders and the stash of craft supplies sounds fabulous!

Am having a spelling meltdown, Shoulder & Good!!

It's this one Mrs:

Dropped DS2 off at Adventure, picked him up at 5, had king prawn makhani for supper, DS2 was in bed by 7.30. 😋🍤😴

DD's backpack's all packed apart from her pens. 😆

144

Morning! I slept like the dead last night after working hard at the allotment yesterday. I'm back there today to actually get stuff into the ground! Exciting times.

Yesterday I got to the back left! There's still a fair bit to clear before the back right is cleared, but getting there. I need to send DH there during the week to dismantle some big stuff to take to the tip, with contents!

I finally got the weed suppressing material down yesterday. It's weighted down with the weeds! Ironic!

We're having a BBQ later. 😁

Morning

Just having a nosey around my favourite go to sites, and have found that John Lewis have their Christmas decorations up online, although showing out of stock, you can see what will be on offer come September, if anyone else fancies having nosey with a cuppa and a biscuit.

Well thanks for that Giggage I love lots of the Emerald and Sapphire baubles and they will fit beautifully into my peacock theme for my hall tree. I stopped counting at £100 worth of baubles

Ooh beautiful! I might have to get a little tree for our bedroom so I can have posh baubles (a toddler and two cats mean the downstairs baubles have to be tough and not devastating if they do break).

Hi! Had breakfast in the Sainsbury's café, the DC had bitesize breakfasts, I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, heating up chicken and mushroom Pukka pies for their lunch. 😋🍳🐟🍗🍄

Morning all
Sains looks huge PSB l can see why it takes you an hour to get round it
Fluffy well done with the clearing you are doing great
Thank you Giggage just about to have a look at the Christmas decs on JL DROOOL !
Off to see the parents just now am late today because they want me to take them to town twill be a disaster l am sure lol but got to be done!
HAVE A GREAT bbq Fluffy and a lovely day everyone sorry my typo errors but in a hurry lol

All ready to embroider. Will then trim off the excess, add a ribbon and will have 10 new decorations :)

Sorry should have added pic!

And that's only one floor Mrs! 😂

Progress so far :)

That's brilliant, Redgreen, you're doing so well with your prep!

Hi, Is there room for one more?? I love Christmas and like to start to get ready from around now, most people in RL look at me like I'm a bit mad but I get the feeling I'd be classed as a slow starter here

Yes brew but better late than never, welcome!

Hi all, feeling very Christmassy today as DD (19) got a driving experience off us for last Christmas for her main present, which she finally got to use today. She had an amazing time and I took MANY pics, the majority she wasn’t aware of, as I I am going create a photo-book for her as a present for this Christmas. The driving experience was a 2 hour drive from where we live so we explored the nearby town afterwards and DD spotted a Primarni and wanted to go in. I managed to sneak into my basket bits and bobs towards her Xmas makeup hamper (I do one every year) and got through the till without her seeing. Finally... I mentioned previously that DS (14) wants matching pjs, dressing gown, socks and slippers for Xmas eve. Well.... I managed to get dead pool pjs and a pack of 5 dead pool socks in primarni. I have also found a dead pool dressing gown and slippers on eBay, which I will purchase in a few weeks if I don’t find these in a RL shop.

DD will be at camp now, hopefully she'll have had supper, DS2 and I went to Sainsbury's and bought him 2 birthday presents: a Hot Wheels track and a big Hot Wheels car, and did food shopping, I've ordered him an Incredibles costume on click and collect, had duck in plum sauce for supper, DS2 should be asleep but there's a bloody party over the back. 😠
