Fur the cake toppers are fab. I'm very jealous - I cannot bake fairy cakes never mind a lovely birthday cake!

Just popping in to say hi and to let you know I spotted a Christmas card display in Card Factory today (was buying an emergency card on my lunch and didn't have time to linger).

I still feel rubbish so have had a bath and cup of tea and am sending myself to bed now 😷

Fur you're very talented Smile I wouldn't have the patience.

Day off today so I'm food shopping and if I have time I need to sort out the cupboard where I keep the presents as it's full of crap!

Morning!

Job interview day today! I did 3.5 hours' prep last night (they sent a police report and a medical report to me) so hopefully I'm prepared! I spent a fair amount of time on Google Maps looking at the road an accident occurred on trying to see both parties' view. 😁

Met the family coach at school, bought myself a burnt orange cardi with my birthday money, having smoked salmon and scrambled eggs and a banana today. 😋🐟🍌

Hi all, room for a newbie?

I've lurked on mn for years, but one of my missions for this year was to actually join in (I suffer with anxiety so it's a big step for me). I'm a christmaholic, and now dd's are back at college/school it's full steam ahead preparing for my favourite time of the year.

NoWordForFluffy · 07/09/2018 11:27

Hi Glitter! Welcome!

I'm out. Seemed to go well. I think they like me, which is a start. They've got one more person to interview then will come back to me! Eek!

Welcome to (imho) the nicest corner of MN Glitternut. As you can see we chat about anything and everything.

I'm also going to be doing more festive stuff now term has started. DD2 goes off to uni this afternoon so the house will be quieter and tidier

TheWoollybacksWife · 07/09/2018 11:30

Exciting Fluffy 🤞. Will you be working in the same city?

NoWordForFluffy · 07/09/2018 11:32

I'll be in my home town if I get it! 😁

Welcome Glitter!. I’m just like you and have lurked mumsnet since getting pregnant with DS but finally joined and I love this thread!

CrazyBaubles · 07/09/2018 13:46

Welcome Glitter I understand this being a big step for you. I was the same (3 Christmas countdowns ago Xmas Shock ) but this is honestly the nicest, friendliest part of MN.

Fingers crossed for you Fluffy

I'm on lunch (but I haven't eaten) but am feeling better. I think it's because I put Vicks on my feet after my bath last night.

NerosFiddle · 07/09/2018 13:48

Hi Glinter. I understand how you feel suffering from anxiety myself, but as others have said everyone here is lovely.

Redgreencoverplant · 07/09/2018 13:59

Welcome glitter we are a lovely Christmassy bunch :)

Heavystream · 07/09/2018 14:01

Good luck Fluffy!

Glitternut · 07/09/2018 14:06

Thank you all for the kind welcome.

Fingers crossed for you fluffy x

NoWordForFluffy · 07/09/2018 14:58

Vicks on feet worked well for our kids, Crazy. Fx it works for you.

Just had to email the interviewer with something really important I forgot to mention in the interview. Oops. Hopefully it won't go against me. 🙈
