88 Garden Gate (I;m not really a Bingo Caller as you can tell Xmas Wink )

I haven;t even read my GH Christmas mag yet but I will habe to track it down (I'm sure it's on the dining room table) . DH will not dared to have recycled it after the effort I went to in finding it.

I bought an Aldi face mask to go in my DD Christmas Advent (I'm buying a few things at a time as I see them)

Need to go to bed now but I'll have a good read through all the posts tomorrow .

To quote from "Muriel's Wedding"

You're terrible, Muriel

( 'Cos I know that your name in RL is Muriel Xmas Wink )

NoWordForFluffy · 28/09/2018 09:19

Gutentag from Berlin! 😁😁

I'm knackered already. It's a train into the city and then a beer while we plan our touristy things!

Cold today

AND I have woken up with the biggest zit IN my nose it is so so sore and it had completely deformed my nose! It looks awful, so I am hibernating today!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 28/09/2018 09:31

while we plan our touristy things!

Touristy Things is a Code Name for "Beer" yes? Xmas Grin

My DH and DBro are going to Belgium this month, I think there will be Beer involved (and a few chocolate shops , but no Diamond Shops sadly)

NoWordForFluffy · 28/09/2018 09:32

We're going to Checkpoint Charlie and the Brandenburg Gate at the very least. And drinking beer!

Fluffy I like the look of your breakfast! Xmas Grin I hope you have a great time! eat lots of beer and sausage for the rest of us! oh and tasty pretzels.

Hairspary I hate those! I call them nose baubles, I hope it buggers off asap!

We're going to Belgium next month but no beer for me and DH will be driving so we're focusing on the waffles and frites!

My DPs, on a trip through Europe a couple of years ago, bought each of their DCs a German Christmas carosel, and at least 2 had that name on the box. They're all gorgeous (and they managed to get a different one for each of us!). So, sooooo jealous of Fluffy....

I'm powering through "to do" lists at work - loads of little jobs that need doing. Meeting DM for dinner tonight, last boating session in the morning with Cubs, helping older scouts to take boats off the sea and then I have to give a separate 1st aid training session for the other scouts (we have 2 groups), before going home to cook a BBQ for leaders (oh, I was just sooo great in my diary planning there) - and I have to do beachmaster all day on Sunday for the start of the new season as the outgoing class captain is away (I didn't have a choice to say no even though I'd already booked the bbq in). DH is coming with me on Sunday though, and he's done it loads (I've done it, um, maybe twice?!). So by Monday, I will be a puddle on the floor (already nearly that as I slept really horribly badly all week).

I did get some knitting done last night while waiting for DD outside scouts. And I have a couple of parcels to collect from the parcel motel tomorrow morning (no chance tonight) - 1 is extra embroidery thread for Cubs making their Christmas stockings (a seasonal "learn to sew" session) and the other, I think, is my Christmas cushion cover for the living room.

At least the household is starting to get back on a more even keel, even if the seasonal preps are not!

Afternoon all, it’s a lovely cold but sunny day here. Love these sort of autumn days. Johns had a lovely birthday so far as we’re having a little get together this evening to celebrate. We’re off out tomorrow to view this house and our neighbour has been over today and says they really like the house and would definitely like to buy it!

PhilomenaButterfly · 28/09/2018 16:26

Just reading about your weekend exhausts me Biddy!

I haven't said it yet:

Happy birthday John! 🎁🎂🎈🎉🎊

Mrsmadevans · 28/09/2018 17:01

Oh God l wrote such a long post and it is all gone now at the touch of a stupid button. Never mind
Hope you have a great time Fluffy & everyone is well and enjoying their Friday
Been very busy today , car for service & MOT what is it about garages and men who treat women owners like the little woman?
Took Dad to GP to get his bleeding hand dressed, literally bleeding , he punctured a blood blister on his hand despite us all telling him not to because he is immunosuppressed and open to infection Hmm & his Flu jab, cleaned Mum & Dads, changed the beds and did 2 loads of washing , Dad had bled all over the house and beds from his fall, so l have gathered all the stained clothing, bedding and sofa arm caps and sprayed and soaked and washed galore to try to get them clean. I am hoping the stains all come out , fingers crossed!
PSB l gave the parents Salmon , new pots & sugar snaps peas for their lunch off the back of your breky so thank you!
Better shift & do tea Xmas Grin

Seafoodeatit · 28/09/2018 17:51

Happy Birthday John! Cake heavy that's great news that they want to buy the house!

Mrsmad sounds like a busy day, I'm glad your dad is okay that sounds painful and messy.

biddy busy busy busy as always!
