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?!

Picked DS2 up, DD had brass club, had veggie lasagne with garlic bread for supper. 🎺😋

Wheels I thought that's what it was! that's made me want one now lol I remember having one in the 2000's, they always died of overfeeding! What's this coffee advert all about! do you have a link? sounds crazy! I've only seen 2 christmas ads, I only really watch on demand stuff and kids tv so miss out on seeing them.

frangelico Oh no that sounds horrible, I hope everyone is on the mend soon.

Fluffy I know! I was a sickly child and seem to have passed it on to the boys. DH still isn’t home so I’ve got to bath all the boys on my own, gonna be shattered by the end of it. Wish me luck!

God speed, Frange!

frangelino that was me on tuesday, bathing the kids alone when you're ill is the worst. Sending lots of virtual support and hoping it goes quickly/smoothly!

Good evening!
I was annoyed as the people who were meant to collect the rubbish never showed up, and didn’t even have the courtesy to phone and let me know!! However, all is good as I have found somewhere else, and it’s all booked and paid for online, plus it’s so much cheaper neighbours can go to hell with their complaints its being collected first thing Saturday; happy Acey!

I have to go to my dads flat tomorrow and see if there’s any last bits of post before I hand the keys in. I have redirected all his mail, but something always slips through haha.

Seafood - I’m glad you liked the site and found lots of bath bombs you can never have too many! I have a flexi tub in the bathroom for bath bombs, my grandad thought it was running low so he has ordered 2 of the sack things full of bath bombs Your white hot choc looks gorgeous, I need to try that one! Love your mug too!

Philomena - that looks gorgeous!

Biddy - you’re always so busy, you’re like Wonder Woman!

Wheelie - what wasn’t he doing more like 😂 he jumps on my face, then when I turn away he starts pawing me constantly and face bumping me. When that fails he takes to pouncing and high pitch meowing at me. If all that fails he starts nipping and charging into me 😂 he’s so funny but not so much at 4.30am 😂 usually he wakes me up at 5.30 which I don’t mind! Aye you are right, this one really hates me but I’m not losing any sleep over the miserable woman
Oooo we need to see pics when you’re done!

Frangelico - Jesus wept you are going through it at the moment! I hope everyone is better soon lovely

Sorry if I’ve missed anyone; I’m hungry and need food

DS2's just gone to bed, DD will go at 7.20. 😴

Got the boys washed and DH walked through the door wanting tea, he definitley got a mouthful from me the cheeky sod!. They’re going to bed soon and then I’m gonna take some time out for myself and he can clean the house

Flamingo bedding! although it feels a wee bit summery for November 😂 ah well the Christmas bedding is going on soon
I’ve got my new pyjamas on, my grandad said I look like where’s wally 😂😂😂

He's a charmer isn't he Acey? 😂

Evening all
Went to Monmouth picked up the scarves, had a lovely walk there, the weather was sunny and warm . l ordered a new blind for the kitchen from Wilko and they msg to say it was ready, so we went to pick it up and it was bent!

frangelino that'll teach him! I hope you manage to get some time to unwind this evening.

mrsmad very pretty scarves :) I love the photo of your cat, he looks very comfortable! lying on his blanket too! hope he's not had any more issues since. It's very nice hot chocolate, I really recommend it if you've not tried it yet. They have some of the whittard sets on offer at tkmaxx at the moment.

wheels I've just seen it, not sure if your comment made me look out for it but it definitely felt like a dodgy advert! Chair looks really comfy and smart, it's brilliant :)

That jumper is glorious Seafood!
Shaky is fine now thank you m;dear , you would never know 3 weeks ago we thought he was going to pass away , it must have been a virus he had poor boy
PSB he is very comfy he hardly even leaves the house now except to go to the loo

😂

Mrs That's a fantastic price you got those scarves for! Wow!

Also with the advert some people don't see it but I've been suspicious of it for years. The way they look at each other isn't very.....sibling haha

This chair is awesome! I've been sittin my butt in it since it came when I should be putting up Christmas trees haha. I think the trees will go up tomorrow instead lol

Sorry, I cannot remember who said what. I didn't get home from work until 8pm (started at 8am) so I'm absolutely frazzled.

I have been productive though - I ordered a lot of bath bombs to top up Christmas presents from Just My Look - thank you to whoever recommended it. I got some lovely ones for a very reasonable price and no delivery fee!

I listened to all the songs on my phone on shuffle on the drive home. Accidentally landed on the Pogues. It isn't one I particularly like so I don't hear it often. It made me feel very festive which has cheered me up because today has been rubbish 😴

I also haven't seen any of the Christmas ads yet. Roll on 4pm tomorrow - I finish work early and I'm not back in until Tuesday
