Countdown to Christmas: the Strictly Come Dancing official countdown has begun edition! Thread 6.

[NoWordForFluffy]

Here we are continuing from the last thread!

Settle in and get comfy.

The RHS allotment planner is as good a guide as I've found! I got mine second hand on eBay!

A text from DS2's friend's dad: "They're both on their best behaviour... From my experience, it won't last." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Evening all
Been busy today but not as busy as Fluffy and Biddy by the sound of it
Went to the parents to sort them AHHHT (70isalimit) lol, made Mum try all the clothes on and they fit her really well cept for the 1 top. She loved them all and was very happy. I gave them to her now because she needs them to wear now not in 15 weeks time. I made her wear her new top and skirt today too, she didn't want to but l made her because it makes her feel good to look nice. It lifts her spirits
Then we went back home to get ready for the funeral of our best man, he was only 60 , his DC were so upset bless them. The vicar got the eulogy wrong , said he had 5 sons and missed out the DD who was the apple of his eye. Everybody noticed . Then he read out a letter from her and still didn't realise what he had done! . I suppose in the scheme of things it doesn't matter she probably didn't even notice although everyone else did love her, the worst had already happened her DF had left her. They gave the donations to the Childrens ward l used to work on so that was lovely
Then we went to Cwmbran and bought a few things , DH has bought me some bluebell and snowdrop bulbs again from Wilkos , l love them. On the way home there was a tree down on the main Pontypool to Abergavenny road and the tailbacks were horrendous. Luckily DH knows the roads like the back of his hand and did a U turn and up and down the lanes and we were soon home, my hero!
When we got home DH fitbit is damaged the clip has come off it , so l have been on the chat to fitbit for nearly an hour trying to upload the damaged fitbit pic lol, done it now and they have sent us an email to fill out a form and claim a new one only trouble is the link isn't working so had to email them again , which won;t be looked at till Monday oh well c'est la vie!
Am sorry l haven't caught up with everyone , hope everyone is fine and enjoying their Friday evening

I spent today food shopping and doing washing. I hung my sheets out but nearly got blown away doing it and they kept hitting me in the face

Our washing is going out tonight again. It only stopped raining at about 5 this evening!

I have to be honest and say I hate the smell of line dried washing obviously it all goes on the line in the summer but I won't go out of my way to do it.

No washing tonight. I'll do it before breakfast in the Sainsbury's café tomorrow. I started doing this when I was ill once, and I've just carried on.

Mrsmad I'm so sorry to hear about your best man, that's much too young :(

Fitbits are always a pain, had to get the strap replaced a couple of times now!

Wreck no way! I love the smell of lined dried, I spend a long time sniffing it all like a weirdo

Wreck! You weirdo! 😂😂

My washing is out tonight too :)

DD will go to bed at 9.20. 😴

Thank you Sea, you are very kind, it IS too young, poor man . I didn't realise the straps go on them easily what a nuisance and DH loves his too!
Have succumbed to the tumble dryer tonight l just can't do it , the spirit is strong but the flesh is weak that's my excuse
Wreck........ line washing is one of those special smells m'dear sacred holier than thou face on

Have just realised that 'I didn't realise the straps go on them easily what a nuisance and DH loves his too!' is very double entendre , it was his Fitbit strap HONEST!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. 😉 Methinks the lady doth protest too much. 😂

PSB he kissed me when l did his tie today too lol & he bought me Snowdrops and Bluebells , something is going on !!

Aaaaawwww 💏

I had a bag each of the snowdrops and bluebells, Mrs! Isn't your DH lovely? 😍

I can't wait until the bulbs all start coming up next year, though I shouldn't wish time away!

Suuuure that's what you meant That is really sweet of him.

Acey when you move back home you can also listen to Christmas fm everyday and watch the Toy Show live

Morning! I've been drifting in and out of sleep since about 2. 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴 I don't expect DD to wake up before 7.30.

Awake since 4:30 here. Ds said he had a bad dream but I suspect he just wanted me to lie with him for a bit (which I'm happy to do) but would be happier if I could get back to sleep afterwards!

5:20 wake up here. Need to drag myself out of bed and work on the master bedroom. Also going to try to get SIL, BIL and FIL ordered this weekend.

I only have £2 in my bank account so no Christmas shopping for me

Is it pay day soon wreck?

Master bedroom is almost done. Will finish it off tomorrow :)

Yes Monday!
