I’ve just got a Christmas brûlée latte from Starbucks; it’s surprisingly nice!

£8 not bad to be honest!

PhilomenaButterfly · 13/11/2018 11:13

Yeah, not my thing Hairspray. Acey's one looks lovely though! 😋

NerosFiddle · 13/11/2018 11:17

Morning all.
Happy birthday Red. Which center Parcs are you at? I can't wait till they open the one in Ireland so I can cut out getting the fairy.

PhilomenaButterfly · 13/11/2018 11:26

Had a slice of toasted banana bread and a banana today, and of course looked at Christmassy things and looked for Christmas baby outfits. 😋🍌🍞🍌🎄🎅👶

Seafoodeatit · 13/11/2018 12:57

I've had the cheese advent on bookmark Xmas Grin I love cheese! very upset they've made instore only though :( I don't have an asda nearby.

Acey that looks lovely :)

redgreen Happy birthday! Cake

mrsmad enjoy your walk :)

biddy I hope the cpr class goes well. I liked doing the baby cpr course until they said we'd be working in teams to make it fun, no no nononono! I have social anxiety, if dh wasn't there I would have walked out. Blush.

HairsprayBabe · 13/11/2018 13:15

Sea - where are you based? I can post you one if you like?

Seafoodeatit · 13/11/2018 13:20

hairspray That's very kind of you :) I'm in Bath. DH is going to have a look at sainsburys after work so I might take you up on your offer if he doesn't come up with the goods.

HairsprayBabe · 13/11/2018 13:21

No worries, just let me know, they had a load of them in my local ASDA just yesterday Xmas Smile

AceyMac13 · 13/11/2018 13:41

I’m currently at the bus stop getting filthy looks off some random girl. Who knew my presence could piss someone off 😂Grin

AceyMac13 · 13/11/2018 13:51

My grandpops is listening to cardi B, what a legend 😂😎

Seafoodeatit · 13/11/2018 14:27

Acey the joys of public transport! I'm off now to catch mine, fun, fun times! your grandad is more cool than me, I have only recently heard of Cardi B, couldn't recognise their music if it was playing!

WheelchairWoes · 13/11/2018 15:43

Happy Birthday Red!! I've been in my 30s for 4 years and it's a great age in my opinion!

Acey I am in awe of you. You are handling things so gracefully and I'm just so insanely pleased to know you.

Fluffy we've had some pretty crazy wind too! It's been making all kinds of almost ghostly sounds overnight.

Mrs I am in the USA and have no idea what Goldcliff is. If anyone would like to school me maybe with a photo or two I'd love it. I'm also happy to share photos around here if anyone is ever interested.

Thank you Biddy for the welcome! Good luck with the CPR practice

Hairspray Is it in the window? Take a photo! Share share! We need more pics in this thread lol

That cheese advent looks soooo good I wish we could get it here lol And Googling shows I can! YAY Target I'm going to order one lol

So an update to the Bubble Wrap? It kept my front room from going below 70 degrees (21 C) last night. Usually it drops to about 68 (20 C) overnight so it's definitely worth the few dollars for the bubble wrap. Also a plus? Our really really horrible neighbors that live behind us can't see into our side windows now lol

Thanks all :) I am really excited about my thirties. I crammed so much into my 20s I am going to have a much more relaxed decade :)

Wheelchair Goldcliff is an area just outside Newport in South Wales which has a very nice coastal walk. Mrs, Crazy and I all live close to each other so you may find us talking about the same places :)

WheelchairWoes · 13/11/2018 16:02

Thanks Red! A coastal walk sounds so pretty. I'm like 15 hours from the nearest coast haha.

FrangelicoCandyBoughs · 13/11/2018 17:04

Happy Birthday Red 🎉

FrangelicoCandyBoughs · 13/11/2018 17:05

Not done too much today, the boys had school so sorted the house out whilst they were gone. We’re thinking of staying in the cottage this weekend to see whether it would suit us. Having sausage and egg for dinner tonight and then a nice bath, yours inspired me Acey

NoWordForFluffy · 13/11/2018 17:39

Afternoon!

Work was / is manic. Crazy day. Crazy week! Knackered.

Acey, there are some odd people around.

Wheelchair, I live on the coast too, but the north west, so I can wave across at you! 😂

Last year's cheese advent apparently only had 6 cheeses on rotation. I need to look and see if this one is better! I do ❤️❤️ cheese. 🧀 🧀

I've not seen any decorations yet. I'll try to nosy on my walk home!

WheelchairWoes · 13/11/2018 17:49

Frangelico have you guys stayed at the cottage before? If not a weekend there would definitely be a good idea. Is the location better than your current home?

Fluffy I welcome all the waving lol I'll be nosy on our night drive tonight and get some photos of any decorations I see. A week from this Thursday is Thanksgiving and the day after is when lights and trees will go up everywhere around here.

I hope I'm not being too chatty on this post and annoying you all. I'm on a facebook break so I need to get my socializing in haha

I'm trying to choose an electric menorah for our window for Chanukah this year. I've wanted one for a while but never had a good window but now we do lol

WreckTangled · 13/11/2018 17:51

Eugh. Such a busy day. Tomorrow is going to be the same 😴
