I love the shoes!

I'd love a burrito, going to have to make them for dinner now you've given me cravings for them.

I love ordering the christmas food at m&s in October, I love the free chocolates too (it seems like I'm always pregnant and can't drink wine) that's the excuse I give to people for ordering early, the ones that don't know me very well buy that excuse Grin

Mrsmadevans · 30/08/2018 16:54

I don't know Decathlon Hmm slinks off to check it ahhtttt
lovely boots Smile

Mrsmadevans · 30/08/2018 16:56

Welcome LL Xmas Smile

PhilomenaButterfly · 30/08/2018 17:12

Well Mrs, I ate it all, which is a good sign! I'll see if I can manage breakfast tomorrow.

PhilomenaButterfly · 30/08/2018 17:14

Oh yes, welcome LL! Must stop skim reading.

NoWordForFluffy · 30/08/2018 17:24

Hi, LL!

I love those boots, Fur. We're buying some next summer for loads of walking on our summer holiday! Well, for the kids anyway. We have boots, though DH's leak. So maybe I'm the only one who's sorted! 😂

Glad you're feeling better, Butterfly.

Wreck, your DS is lovely. Little boys are so adorable at that age.

Mrs, the bloody 💩 obsession lasts for many years then? Great! 🙈😂

Mrsmadevans · 30/08/2018 17:28

Excellent well done PSB Xmas Grin glad your tum is getting better
Sea pricking ears up what was that about free chocs? Xmas Grin

Mrsmadevans · 30/08/2018 17:32

Fluffy l am afraid so, Hmm last week he was here for a week and full of burps, poohs, weewees , bottom burps and boogies Hmm. Apparently hilarious Hmm God help me.

PhilomenaButterfly · 30/08/2018 17:33

Thanks Fluffy. I still don't know what it was. If you look online it can be dehydration, low blood sugar, all kinds of things. Confused

PhilomenaButterfly · 30/08/2018 17:38

The boys in DD's class seem to have got over the poo stage much earlier, I think by about 8 they'd moved on, now they just make comments about seeing the girls' nipples when changing for PE. Hmm Separate changing this year, thank goodness! 😆

FireflyGirl · 30/08/2018 17:46

We're not quite at that stage where it's funny, yet. We have to have long discussions about what poo is and is bean poo different to sausage poo...

Heavystream · 30/08/2018 17:59

DS1 and his friends think poo is hilarious, I’ve never understood the fascination!.

NoWordForFluffy · 30/08/2018 18:14

DS has been finding poo funny since about 3.5. He and DD have many 'hilarious' conversations / jokes about it together. Sigh.

Heavystream · 30/08/2018 18:25

Scrolling through some present suggestions for DS and found this

WreckTangled · 30/08/2018 18:26

Ds thinks ooo is horrible and won't even wipe his own bum because 'Eugh that's disgusting!' But he does think it's funny to call me a poo poo butt head etc Hmm

CrazyBaubles · 30/08/2018 21:05

I've tried to read that thread Mrsmad but I couldn't keep up!

Red and Fluffy I used to work for Admiral but now I'm somewhere a lot smaller. It's not directly 'car insurance' but related (trying desperately not to out myself)!

Seafood where are you based? We have 2 sets of bin men. 1 are 'by the book' and a little miserable but the others are lovely.

Welcome Lyra - that sounds like a lovely chaotic Christmas!

I am freezing! I got home to a lovely tea (lasagne - thanks DH) but my nose is so cold.
I haven't started buying for Christmas yet but I have a few online shopping baskets which are full and will be altered and eventually bought in October (I can withdraw my Christmas savings then).

PhilomenaButterfly · 30/08/2018 21:18

That's delightful Heavy! 😂

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 30/08/2018 21:24

I've ordered an early birthday present for DS (he'll be 19 in December ....I am that old Xmas Shock )
He asked for a guitar so we'll get him lessons booked and his new guitar arrives on Saturday .

Which means by Christmas he'll get a pair of socks and an orange

NoWordForFluffy · 30/08/2018 21:58

I thought that thread was a bit too ‘try hard’ on behalf of the OP, to be honest. As in it was trying to get the reactions it did. Like the “horse” one last week. And another one with ridiculous use of “ “ around a normal word.

Mrsmadevans · 30/08/2018 22:15

Ha Ha l know what you mean Fluffy it WAS trying too hard but someone linked to an African choir singing and the song was named ' this old shoe' , well for some reason l just could not stop laughing . I suppose because it was a fund raiser for the shoeless orphans ...you had to be in the mode l suspect lol.

Mrsmadevans · 30/08/2018 22:16

70...... mine are 23 & 24 trust me l am older Xmas Grin

Mrsmadevans · 30/08/2018 22:35

Crazy it was a mad thread but it tickled me and PSB Xmas Grin
l love lasagne too, well done to your DH !
Heavy that looks like something l need to get for a certain young man Xmas Grin

Morning! Awake too early again, in bed drinking coffee. Brew

My 2 eldest are nearly 28 and nearly 27! I'm ancient! 😂

NoWordForFluffy · 31/08/2018 05:52

Ah. I didn't get that far, Mrs! The comments were funny, the OP just annoyed me!

I'm awake too early too. Bloody shoulder. Apparently it's the advanced nurse practitioner I need for my shoulder so I'm ringing at 8 to get an appointment later.

December2018 · 31/08/2018 06:03

I went out yesterday and I've started buying squishy throws and candles!!
When I start getting the urge to buy those I know for sure winter is coming 😁
Ohhh! And a bag of treacle toffee....mmmm!
It's getting so exiting!
