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 I suffered from migraines regularly at primary school - they went when I cut out cheese. I've only had one since in 40 years.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 30/10/2018 20:30

It's nine weeks to go.
I'm not watching GBBO (can't see the appeal apart from Paul Hollywood and I couldn't cope with an hour of Noel Thingie being a dick just to ogle the Hollywood. Noel F used to be on Buzzcocks so I've seen more than enough)

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 30/10/2018 20:30

Can we fill this thread?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 30/10/2018 20:30

Before Hallowe'en?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 30/10/2018 20:31

This is Hallowe'en, this is Hallowe'en........ sings in Skelington Jack voice .

NoWordForFluffy · 30/10/2018 20:31

GBBO is ace. Very tense!

Ah, I've moved on to thread 8 - I hate starting something new before the previous one is complete. It makes me feel weird 

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 30/10/2018 20:33

Hmmmm

I don't watch SCD or IACGMOOH or BB

I just waste my time watching rubbishy soaps Halloween Blush, QVC, on MN

I occasionally talk to my DC and DH and show my face at work Xmas Grin

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 30/10/2018 20:34

I'll sing you a Christmas song to fill this then.........

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 30/10/2018 20:36

^Bah Humbug; now that's too strong!
'Cause it is my favorite holiday.
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from last year.
Ski shop encounter most interesting.
Had his number but never the time,
Most of '81 passed along those lines.
So deck those halls. Trim those trees.
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer.
I just need to catch my breath;
Christmas by myself this year
Calendar picture. Frozen landscape,
Chill this room for twenty-four days.
Evergreens. Sparkling snow.
Get this winter over with!
Flash back to spring time saw him again
Would have been good to go for lunch.
Couldn't agree when we were both free.
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.
Didn't of course 'till summer time,
Out to the beach to his boat.
Could I join him?
No. This time it was me;
Sunburn in the third degree.
Now the calendar's just one page
Of course I am excited.
Tonight's the night I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight.
Last minute have-to-dos:
A few cards, a few calls
Because it's RSVP.
No, thanks. No party lights.
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax,
Turn down all of my invites.
Last fall I had a night to myself
Same guy called; Halloween party.
Waited all night for him to show.
This time his car wouldn't go.
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late.
Trudge on home to celebrate.
In a quiet way unwind.
Doing Christmas right this time.
And he has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey.
Already in the oven, nice and hot.
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot.
So on with the boots
Back out in the snow
To the only all night grocery.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year.
'Spending this one alone, ' he said.
'Give me a break, this year's been crazy.'
I said 'Me too, but why are you..
You mean you forgot cranberries too?'
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed.
Caught on to what was happening.
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.^

NoWordForFluffy · 30/10/2018 20:46

I don't watch soaps. Or BB or BGT or XF or IACGMOOH or DOI. Just SCD and GBBO!

D'you think Paul Hollywood would make me cake?
I'm drawn to the cake mixes in Sainsbury but I know they would be a bit 'packety' (is that a word? Out of a packet , not homemade)

My DH doesn;t see the appeal Xmas Blush

Hi all!

It’s bloooooooomin’ freeeeeeezin’!!!!!!

Every year I realise the only way to warm up is to have a shower. It takes me days to figure it out. I’m grumpy when I’m cold!
