Ive just woken myself with a coughing fit so haven't had chance to catch up. Fingers crossed I nod back off quickly....

WheelchairWoes · 22/11/2018 01:31

Thank you Mrs If someone had a powerchair that was really good in the grass would they be able to do Goldcliffe curiously? I plan to visit the UK someday and I'd love to go to some of these places you guys talk about

Crazy I hope you are nice and snug in bed and back to sleep now! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and then it's the most insane shopping day in the USA and eeeeek lol glad I can't work it anymore. Once got beat on by an old broad with a purse because I was too slow to get our of her way XD

Enjoy my Kitty boy Azrael in my trees

Morning! Grin
Had a glorious 8 hours of sleep without wheezing and coughing! So I am now back to my fully refreshed, happy self Grin

I completely forgot my sofa is being delivered today; yay Grin

Time for a coffee and cinnamon swirl whilst I catch up Grin

Morning!

That was funny, Firefly! Xmas Grin

Mrs, I've been prescribed ibuprofen gel, so Voltarol, I think. You should be my nurse practitioner! She said to keep taking the omeprazole as it soothes my stomach.

It's my Friday today. Wooooo!

We're doing the tree on 1st. Might move some of my baking to this weekend though, otherwise it's going to be chaos next weekend! I'm sure a month plus a few days is fine for stuff that says it'll freeze for a month. Xmas Smile

I'm glad you feel better Acey. Onwards and upwards!

And @FireflyGirl, where exactly were the lost presents?!

AceyMac13 · 22/11/2018 06:30

I’ll be doing my tree on the 1st too! My grandad wants to put them up now, but we don’t have enough decorations. Somehow, I’ve ended up with 2 big trees and 3 mini ones - my house will be looking very festive Grin

Thank you fluffy, definitely onwards and upwards!

Again, I just want to say thank you to each and every one of you, for your kind words and support over the past difficult few weeks Smile

Mrs - goldcliff looks beautiful! That doggy looks so contented too; ah! I am definitely going to relax before I go back to work next week my dear! A lot of my work colleagues were at the funeral yesterday, as I’ve worked where I am now for nearly 6 years (minus when i was in the uk) so they knew my dad well :) they have said I will only be doing 4 hour days for a few weeks, just to ease myself back into it :) I have to see my midwife next week, feels like I haven’t seen her in ages! I don’t feel like I’ve been a wonderful daughter, but thank you for saying that my lovely! Addie certainly is going to be the best dressed baby in Ireland Grin

Wheelie - I love it too Grin I hope you are feeling a bit better today too, and things don’t seem so bleak Flowers

Nero’s - thank you, I do love flamingos Grin

Firefly - had such a laugh at that picture this morning Grin just showed my grandad and he’s chuckling away too Grin

Crazy - hope you managed to get back to sleep!

Right; better go now. Need to make sure there’s enough space for the sofa and armchair Grin

I’ll be back later, have a grand day everyone Grin

Morning! Drinking coffee and watching Carol at Kew. Brew

I'm trying to find out if I need to make a purchase to get my free Reindeer Treat carrot sticks from McDonald's on Christmas Eve. I'm on both their threads.

NoWordForFluffy · 22/11/2018 06:55

Bloody hell, it's a touch chilly outside! The cars are all frozen solid. ❄️❄️❄️

I think we'd have had loads of flamingo stuff if it had been around when DD was born! She's not even interested now as she's more interested in Batman! 😂

WreckTangled · 22/11/2018 07:35

Dd has got a flamingo Christmas jumper! I got it on eBay second hand. I'll show you somewhen!

BiddyPop · 22/11/2018 08:40

For those contemplating decorating already (and in the spirit of the murderous Rudolph!😂), there is another thread here in the Christmas bird about someone who couldn’t wait any longer to put up her Christmas decs... worth a look!

I need to finish early today, if all goes well in court, as the cleaners are doing the oven (compensation for something not done last time), so I can’t leave the turkey ready to go in it. I need to buy pitatoes anyway - proper ones if I get out early enough for roasties or a few packs of M&S Parmentier ones if I’m late. I think we will be 7 for dinner tonight.

BiddyPop · 22/11/2018 08:41

Happy Thanksgiving!

HairsprayBabe · 22/11/2018 08:59

First proper cold day with frost here, had to be on a day where I am traveling to meetings....

As my father likes to say, it is big coat weather!

FireflyGirl · 22/11/2018 09:06

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

They were in the shed as opposed to the garage, Fluffy. Luckily not the one with the mice!

I saw that thread, Biddy. It tickled me - that's my sense of humour Xmas Grin Xmas Grin

Redgreencoverplant · 22/11/2018 09:16

I cannot keep up with you all!!!

DH and DS are away the first weekend of December so I am going to put up the decs in peace, I can't wait :)

Just found out that as it is an inset day tomorrow I don't need to go into work so am going to get lots of organising done :)

On Saturday am having afternoon tea with a friend at The Angel in Abergavenny and then watching the lights be switched on. Will you be there Mrs?

PhilomenaButterfly · 22/11/2018 09:49

Have bought wrapping paper, because I know I'll need more than I've got.

NoWordForFluffy · 22/11/2018 10:17

Are you on the wrong thread, @littlemeitslyn? I've a feeling you may be a name-changer.

Wish my sofa would hurry up! Been sat on a bloody computer chair for the past 8 days 😂

FrangelicoCandyBoughs · 22/11/2018 10:58

Say at home watching call the midwife. Strongly considering ordering a McDonald’s as a little treat but not sure whether I should!. I do have to save for Christmas

PhilomenaButterfly · 22/11/2018 11:00

That doesn't sound very comfortable for a pregnant back. I had DS2 in my local hospital's home from home centre, they have a rainforest room, but God, the benches were uncomfortable!

PhilomenaButterfly · 22/11/2018 11:02

Sorry for mentioning McDonald's Frange! Blush

FrangelicoCandyBoughs · 22/11/2018 11:07

Philomena I’ve caved and it’s on its way!

AceyMac13 · 22/11/2018 11:34

Think my grandad will be very amused by this shark wrapping paper Grin
