I love goats cheese!

We're going to do legoland Father Christmas this year I think as well as lapland we always go somewhere with friends though and I think this will be a good one. We've done:

Chessington garden centre
Longleat
Lapland UK (twice)
Harrods (which we can't do ever again because it's only for loyal customers now Hmm)

Seafoodeatit · 24/08/2018 16:28

AnotherShirt I probably will but it just feels like giving in after pestering for so long.

I don't normally like musicals (with the exception of avenue Q) but I think I'd make a special exception for elf...

fluffy how were the caves?

wreck the legloand christmas grotto is supposed to be very good :) I hope you manage to get some proper sleep tonight.

We did chessington last year for christmas mainly for the gruffalo ride, hoping to do peppa pig world this year if we find the time.

I've heard of dobbies! their christmas displays always look very pretty from what I've seen.

NoWordForFluffy · 24/08/2018 16:48

Couldn't find the damn caves. The internet is very oblique about how to get there! 🙈😂

We went up the side of a disused quarry instead. Slightly epic views!

AnotherShirtRuined · 24/08/2018 19:35

Seafood The important thing is that you gat that teddy! Xmas Grin

AnotherShirtRuined · 24/08/2018 19:36

Get, not gat!

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 24/08/2018 21:31

Picked DS2 up from Adventure, had butter chicken for supper, DS2 was in bed by 7.30, DD was in bed by 9.20.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 24/08/2018 21:36

We'll go to the Portobello winter festival again. Every Santa's Grotto we like seems to disappear! We've done Hamleys, Whiteleys, Duke of York Square, now it's the Portobello winter festival. Hamleys wasn't even a grotto. DS2 and I went with preschool to Westfield as well.

Happy Rudolph Day Xmas Grin

I am starting to plan some Christmas purchases for my lists ( having looked at the Matalan site)
I need to find the GH magazine

And I need to get to bed now , I travelled back from holiday , got to bed at 2.30am , awake at 6.30am and busy doing washing and shopping (and Eastenders on catch-up)

My body is raddled with tired.
My brain is still running .

PhilomenaButterfly · 25/08/2018 04:51

Happy Rudolph day! Urgh, awake far too early again (was PSB). 😴😴😴😴

Redgreencoverplant · 25/08/2018 05:33

5am wake up here due to DS 🙄

Lallypopstick · 25/08/2018 06:54

I'm intrigued by the Good Housekeeping magazine that keeps being mentioned.

PhilomenaButterfly · 25/08/2018 07:06

I've got no good reason Redgreen.

It's the preparing for Christmas edition Lally, and it's proving elusive.

Redgreencoverplant · 25/08/2018 07:07

DH found it in WH Smiths

PhilomenaButterfly · 25/08/2018 07:09

A bus ride for a magazine. Can I justify it?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/08/2018 07:49

I'm going to answer this partly because we're standing at 666 posts.....

Yes. Butterfly get on that bus Xmas Grin

I haven't bought it myself but I'm taking DD out today so I'll track it down

CrazyBaubles · 25/08/2018 08:43

Happy Rudolph Day! DH has decided on a last minute hike with his friend and left at 8 so I'm in bed with a cuppa and the GH magazine.

Found mine in M&S (after trying Sainsbury's, WH Smith, Tesco and 2 independent newsagents) so I would definitely suggest trying there.

Plan for today is some light housework and Christmas planning before going out tonight and drinking lots of wine Xmas Smile

NoWordForFluffy · 25/08/2018 08:48

Hell, yes. Get on that bus, Butterfly! 🚌

It's sunny here today, so we are off for a nice long walk. Hopefully the kids will enjoy it. 😁

Mrsmadevans · 25/08/2018 09:17

Morning all Grin
Up the parents to sort them out Smile
hope everyone well,will post later not doing anything remotely Rudolphus Xmas Grin so far , we shall see
Have a great Rudolph day everyone! Xmas Grin

FurForksSake · 25/08/2018 13:09

Happy Rudolph day! We have done some baking and I might pop out in search of the magazine :)

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/08/2018 14:12

Up the parents to sort them out ....................... oooh in my head that was said in a Phil Mitchell voice Xmas Grin

No GH Mag Xmas Sad but I didn't look in M&S (didn't occur to me) tried WHSmith and Waitrose.

DD was ver' ver' unhelpful, "It's August " , I really must rehome her if she doesn't get the importance of the GH mag.

Looks round for willing volunteers ...........................

PhilomenaButterfly · 25/08/2018 14:45

DS2 and I had breakfast in the Sainsbury's café, DD felt sick so stayed at home 😭, DS2 had a bitesize breakfast, I had eggs and bacon, the DC had Pukka pies for lunch. 😋🍳🍳🍗🍄

WickerHippo · 25/08/2018 15:05

Hi all, went up to visit my family the past few days. There’s a definite chill in the air now, especially at night. I had a bath when it was raining really heavily and it was very lovely and autumnal. I had a really lovely birthday as well. Hope everyone’s doing well. Started buying our Christmas presents yesterday!

FurForksSake · 25/08/2018 16:28

Gabey definitely looks Autumn ready! Still can't believe he will be 3 soon.
