Round up your broom stick, black cat and cauldron and get ready for Halloween, it's the Countdown to Christmas, thread 7!

[NoWordForFluffy]

Here we go again. I think the last thread was the quickest ever, so this one probably won't even get to Halloween, but we shall see!

Wreck enjoy your lie down and eat the Terry chocolate oranges before they do
Love the name too Acey

How come you had no sleep, Wreck? That's not good. I hope you've had your nap now.

The DC are currently watching The Incredibles and are finding it hilarious. I love listening to them squeak and laugh! 😂 I'm soaking in the bath ahead of going out tonight. I'll try to get some cross stitch done after as I'm not doing any tonight!

I just couldn't sleep once ds woke me up. Couldn't get back to sleep have had a little nap as much as you can!

Yes, we have 2 Bears. I used to have to swap them when DS2 wasn't looking, now Tuesday is Bear swapping day, Dirty Bear goes in the washing machine and he gets Clean Bear. He got Clean Bear today though, as he had an accident with a strawberry smoothie in Sainsbury's. Complete change of clothes too, and I had to wipe down the disabled child trolley. Thank goodness I always carry baby wipes! 😂

I love Lorelai for a girl. We went with a very Irish name for dd but ds has a more usual name. It's top 10 here and I think in top 20 In England.

Good evening
Just got home from shopping and late lunch with some friends, phew I am exhausted!

Lorelai bump and I are off for a soak in the bath soon

It feels like I’ve never been gone from Ireland, I’m so happy to be home

Mrs - that looks horrendous, what horrible weather! Make sure you stay safe lovely! We had an amber warning on Wednesday for the storm.

Thank you all for the love of the name, my family will come round to her name when she’s born. I’ve loved that name for so long I’m not giving it up

Note to self; buy a duplicate bear good job you had those baby wipes to hand Philomena! I’m sure I’ll be taking them everywhere with me when Lorelai is finally here 😂

Sorry if I’ve missed anyone off, I’m not being ignorant!

My bath is ready, time for a lovely soak!

Have a grand evening everyone

Wreck You must be exhausted. Are you and your DH any better now? Could you get an early night?

Acey I like the name Lorelai - but if you've never watched Gilmore Girls, don't!

Welcome back Pixie I know it's easy to say but try not to feel guilty. There is nothing wrong with a single parent Christmas at all

Seafood the blanket is very slow going, mostly because I can't be bothered to work on it as I'm patching two pieces together and it's fiddly!

Oh my MrsMad that's crazy! We've been to Cwmbran and Blaenavon today and haven't seen anything like that but the wind has been very strong all day

Crazy I'm in bed yeah we're ok thanks. I know he feels guilty because he put all the washing away and put the bedding back on without me having to ask

72

Lovely night out. Bit tipsy now, but not so bad!

Tired, however. Maybe I'll be allowed a nap tomorrow at some point! 😂

Morning! My sunrise woke me up at 5.26. 😆

Morning all
Off up the parents now the water has gone down
Crazy.... seems mad to see how it was yesterday and now, although still up it is nothing like as bad
Hope you had a great time last night Fluffy
Wreck .....am so glad you & DH are fine
Acey so happy for you being back in Ireland my dear
Firefly l hope the wind has dropped with you , it is much better here
Better shift and get up the parents have a lovely day everyone

Morning!

I'm very tired. Children don't care that you've been out the night before, do they?! 7 o'clock wake up, but I suppose it could've been worse! 😂

I'm at the cinema with DD to watch The Incredibles 2. The mini morning showings are nice and cheap, so it's the only time we come!

DH is taking DS to play with a friend round the corner later, so I think he has the worse deal as at least I don't have to talk to anyone!

We love the incredibles! So good.

Count yourself lucky Fluffy. I have to endure Johnny English at half term. Slapstick comedy makes me cringe

Nothing will ever be as bad as taking 8 nine year olds to the ballet the day after my first night out after DS was born. That was a feat of endurance.

I feel ill just thinking about that, Woolly!

Wreck, they're brilliant films aren't they?

Christmas cake is in the oven. We have gone for an amaretti one :)

Afternoon!

Brrrr it’s chilly but a lovely day here. Been for a walk around Slieve League Cliffs. Absolutely beautiful and it’s one of my favourite places to come and forget about everything for a while!
I think I can feel Lorelai move occasionally, although I’m not too sure!
Been such a lovely relaxing day and hopefully my blood pressure will be down tomorrow when I see the midwife.
Currently snuggled on the couch in front of the fire with a cup of coffee; absolute bliss!

Crazy - Gilmore girls is my guilty pleasure, I absolutely love it and watch it daily. I’ve watched it since it first came out and never get sick of it 😂

Fluffy - hope your head isn’t too bad. Glad you had a lovely night and hope you have fun at the cinema too!

Wooly - good luck with that 😂

DH had the food that was for lunch, for breakfast, so I had to rush out just before 12, he asked me if I wanted to take the list, no, that would have made lunch 2 hours late instead of 1, eventually had chicken and bacon risotto. 😋🍗

Thanks for all your kind words. I know I am worrying myself over nothing!

I hope you enjoyed the cinema fluffy (or managed to zone out for a bit!)

Sounds a lovely day Acey good luck tomorrow with midwife!

Booked some Christmassy things today and wrote out some lists which has got me in the mood for the Big Day

Fluffy I love the new project, I love that style of cross stitch. Happy belated anniversary!

Acey Is that a cosatto pram? they do lots of really colourful prams. I love your name choice too :)

Wooly my ds loves johnny english, I can't face taking him to the cinema for it though and I'm waiting for the dvd lol.

pixie booking christmas things is a good way to feel festive

Pixie, I'm sure your DC will have a lovely Christmas. You can tell how much you care.

The sun came out here this afternoon. We got two full loads of washing dry, which is rather good. There's bedding on the line now and I'll stick the towels on in the morning after my shower.

Off to bed now. Knackered! Drinking means I sleep badly. So I need to catch up.

I'll complete the cross stitch tomorrow. Here it is now!

fluffy it's turned out really nicely, is there much more to go? it looks finished to me!

There's a few sparkly stars and a tree ribbon to sew on, then it's done!

Had pulled pork risotto for supper, DS2 was in bed by 8.30, DD's just gone to bed. 😋😴
