Mrsmadevans · 23/09/2018 20:26

Ahhh duly noted Fluffy Grin 25 mins to go Xmas Grin

TheWoollybacksWife · 23/09/2018 20:42

EC Fluffy. The house always freaks me out - there's always someone who says they can see a light moving in the windows 👻

NoWordForFluffy · 23/09/2018 20:44

That'll be the actor planted into your group!

I've not heard about that walk before though; you learn something every day. 👻

Just had red cabbage, salmon with soy and honey glaze and sweet potato mash. House is v quiet now both DC are away.
I am waiting for Bodyguard as well.
I have an evening planned tomorrow with GH Christmas mag and my Christmas planner Xmas Grin

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 23/09/2018 21:25

I haven't seen "The Bodyguard" but I'll binge watch it next week ( I don't mind any spoilers ).

I took DD and 2 of her mates to Thorpe Park last year before Hallowe'en. DD does not like the live actors. She wouldn't go for Tulleys Farm Hallowe'en or the Brentwood Room 13 (which is a shame because its a darn site nearer to us Xmas Grin )

I always take a day off for Hallowe'en if it falls on a workday, I love decorating the house and all the little children coming round to ToT .

Mrsmadevans · 23/09/2018 22:31

OMG that was simply the best TV series l have ever seen and l have seen so many. I absolutely loved every min of it . Perfection IMHO.
I am still reeling from Bodyguard, God knows how l am going to sleep t'night !
l feel like watching it all over again Xmas Grin
PSB am glad that you not changed your nom de plume m'dear Xmas Grin
Night everyone Smile

NoWordForFluffy · 23/09/2018 22:48

I'm still suffering from surging adrenaline and raised heart rate. No sleep here either!

Mrs, you need to watch Line of Duty if you haven't already!

Fluffy..... l am a huge fan of LOD but felt this was so exciting. With the last LOD the bad gal Thandie Newton & the writing /cast was excellent and l really enjoyed it but this won it hands down for me , l loved it .

PhilomenaButterfly · 23/09/2018 23:12

Did wash because DS2 will need uniform for Tuesday, did washing up, have been in bed since 8.20. 😴

Redgreencoverplant · 24/09/2018 05:43

I have never been a fan of Halloween either but last year was our first in our new house and we had loads of kids come round and DS loved handing out the sweets so am not dreading it this year :)

Morning! Drinking coffee, waiting for BBC breakfast news and Carol. Brew

NoWordForFluffy · 24/09/2018 06:15

Morning!

I've hung the washing out from last night and stuck another lot in (towels). I'm just eating breakfast before heading to work.

I'm glad you like LoD, Mrs; it's my favourite show ever!

Morning!

Just at my desk ready for an extra long day - not intending to leave the office until 7pm 😴

Was listening to the radio on my way in and they said the Christmas movie channels start today. No idea if that's true, I hope so though!

TheWoollybacksWife · 24/09/2018 08:10

Well 13 weeks today is Christmas Eve...

WreckTangled · 24/09/2018 08:14

Morning. Chilly here today am off to work. Humph. Pay day today and don't know why I bother working sometimes! I know this is a bad opinion on mn but my sister is a single mum and doesn't work yet spends all her time in the David Lloyd gym and I can't even afford a spinning class once a week in my local gym!

Mrsmadevans · 24/09/2018 08:22

Love LOD Fluffy and until Bodyguard it was my favourite too Smile.

Mrsmadevans · 24/09/2018 08:25

Wreck Flowers you are giving your Family a hugely positive image my dear, also we get a lot from working than just money , don't be hard on yourself, let it all wash over you Flowers

Redgreencoverplant · 24/09/2018 08:42

I can see how that would be frustrating wreck but remember that you are building up a pension etc as well as what comes into your account every month :)

NerosFiddle · 24/09/2018 09:03

True Christmas (tv channel) has started. This is how I will be spending my morning Xmas Grin.

PhilomenaButterfly · 24/09/2018 10:20

Do you know what the Freeview number is Neros? I love True Christmas. 🎄 That's what I'll be watching tomorrow until DH comes home. He's got a day off today, so it'll be war movies and westerns, extra points for John Wayne and black and white. 😂
