With a whizz and a bang, here comes Bonfire Night to herald your 50 day warning! Countdown to Christmas, thread 8

[NoWordForFluffy]

Here goes!

Thread 8 already; wonder how many we will get to before Christmas?!

Lovely name, Acey.

That's a beatiful name Acey and will be very special to your DD

2 year old DD and 1 year old DS have hand, foot and mouth disease, never experienced it before but it's horrible to see, thankfully ds has it mild but DD has very sore spots all over her face and private bits, she's getting very upset every time she has to pee!

So sorry for your loss Acey.

Seafood, I hope your DC re better soon.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. I've just bought a refurbished Kitchen Aid on eBay! Was only £200 with the extra discount code today. My present to me!

Fluffy Happy birthday, I completely missed out a page of posts.

Oh no, your poor DC Seafood! I hope they get well soon.

Fluffy you share a birthday with a little boy in DS2's class, I've just finished wrapping a Power Ranger for him.

I think I'll swerve a Power Ranger and still to my Kitchen Aid! 😂

Are you quite sure? He's a very nice Power Ranger! 😂

Hope your DC feel better soon Seafood! Need to pick up some more wrapping paper today as have already gone through three rolls

Happy birthday Fluffy.
I'd love a kitchen aid but I can't justify the cost while on maternity leave.

Determined that I will have a hot cup of tea today, though the dc don't seem to agree

Kitchen Aids were on QVC’s Today’s Special Value last week for about £270 which is very cheap for them.

They might do it again.

Happy Birthday Fluffy hope you’ve had a brilliant day!

I’m so sorry about your dad Acey what a lovely tribute to him by picking a name he picked out. Addison is lovely!

Thanks everyone :)

I'm desperate for a kitchenaid! which colour did you go for fluffy?

Work is now done for today. Wooooo!

Home now to actually have some form of celebration! 😂

It's this one, Seafood:

Just got home from the first day back, absolutely shattered now!. Just had shepherds pie and then walked the dog. There’s a bonfire st the local pub so I think we might go down there, but I’m so tired I don’t want to move!.

I also love the name 😍

I'm at ds' swimming lessons. Dd is swimming too. So dark and after a stressful day I just want to go to bed! Dh is at football so bedtime will be solely down to me. Humph. Although to be fair they're much better at going to bed when 'dad-anything for a quiet life-dy' isn't about 🤣

fluffy that's one of my favourite colours, it's beautiful!!!

wreck I hope you're able to go home and put your feet up soon, I do bedtimes alone on Tuesdays + any days dh works overtime so you have my sympathy.

frangelico Go! can't beat a good bonfire!

Seafood I think I will be going, can feel myself falling asleep on the sofa but can smell the bonfire when I go in the back garden and it’s making me want to go. Won’t go for too long though as the boys really struggled with going back to school this morning so want them to be asleep by 8.

Loads of fireworks going off on my walk home!

Isn't it a thing of beauty, Seafood?!

Just adding my for Acey very sad news
And Happy Birthday to Fluffy

Acey

Happy birthday Fluffy

I'm reading the Tesco Christmas food book, they're not daft - they've put the puddings at the beginning

Just got the boys into bed, now sat with DH watching tv and trying to pick out a name for the new arrival.
