Wonderful Acey! Now get lying down on it! 😂

Redgreencoverplant · 22/11/2018 13:17

Am glad to hear it is good Mrs I haven't been before :) I was going to suggest we wear something distinctive to spot each other but you are busy booo :(

Redgreencoverplant · 22/11/2018 13:17

Lovely new sofa Acey :)

AceyMac13 · 22/11/2018 13:46

Not had to answer the door once today, then I finally sit down on my lovely new sofa and the door goes constantly 😂
My light up flamingo Xmas jumper has arrived yay!

NerosFiddle · 22/11/2018 13:48

I'm wearing my first Christmas jumper of the season today. It's the one I wore last year when I was 9 months pregnant so it's a bit baggy but hey ho.
DS was vomiting this morning all over my new carpets so it's another day of paw patrol today.

CrazyBaubles · 22/11/2018 13:56

Biddy what thread was that? I can't find it

RedGreen I loved afternoon tea at The Angel! Have a brilliant time 🍰

Acey I hope you're resting with your feet up on that lovely new sofa?

I am muddling through the day. I managed some sleep but kept waking myself up 🙄 I'm definitely on the zombie bench today.

I'm also fielding awkward 'what do you want for Christmas' questions which I never know how to answer! I've been told if I don't suggest anything I'll get booze which I don't want / need so have asked for a few books but that's about it.
I really want crochet stuff, a journal, wellies, a new handbag and vouchers for clothes / make up but I'm very fussy!

PhilomenaButterfly · 22/11/2018 14:11

Only my mum has asked me so far. I've asked for money for Tolkien's birthday dinner. His birthday's 3rd January. All members of the local group of the Tolkien Society go to the Spaghetti House. I'm such a nerd. 😂

WheelchairWoes · 22/11/2018 15:00

Good morning everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! I'm definitely feeling better today. Which is a good change. Yesterday just seemed kind of bleak.

I come bearing photos! Our city park lit up at night! We can't drive through it yet but I thought the photos would make you all pleased.

Also a 7 foot tall Christmas tree out of lights is going up in our yard today in full view of the neighbors house

acey I adore that wrapping paper! Also your couch and the blanket look fab!

philomena never too early for a bow

Mrs That's great news! I'm adding it to my list of places to visit then! Googling does show folks in wheelchairs visiting so there must be a way lol

Fiddle yay for Christmas sweaters! I'm dressed up for Thanksgiving but my fashion isn't for everyone lol. I'm sorry your ds is sickly.

crazy I never know what to say either. I don't want to ask for the wrong thing and appear cheeky

Afternoon! I have read through but forgotten most things.

Acey love the throw on your sofa!

Wheely lovely photos

I have news! SNOW IS FORECAST! For tomorrow. It's saying 17cm >90% chance so that's promising.

No more work for the week, so pleased I've been here there and everywhere this week.

Dd has just lost another tooth she has lost so many for her age!

WreckTangled · 22/11/2018 16:12

In Lapland that is, not here!

FireflyGirl · 22/11/2018 16:52

Can you imagine the carnage if we got 17cm of snow here?!? Shock

Inspired by this thread, DS and I have built a fort on the couch and are watching TV. Despite playing Christmas songs all day, DS has refused to watch a Christmas film. I've refused to watch Paw Patrol so we're watching Pete the Cat Grin

Mrsmadevans · 22/11/2018 17:23

Acey sofa looks fabulous and l love the throw! Crazy hope you feel much better now my dear 💐
Wreck yay !! Snow !! ⛄😊😀

AceyMac13 · 22/11/2018 17:41

Haven’t had time to catch up yet as just on my way to meet my friend from work, he got back from America earlier so we are having a well overdue catch up! Can’t wait to look through the photos of my dad too :)

So my family are back and acting like nothing has ever happened! Can’t even begin to deal with them right now! Pathetic people!

Mrs I love the bedding!! Can I ask where the cushions are from? I love anything stag or flamingo themed 😍

Need to rush off now, was meant to be at his house 5 mins ago, whoops!

Will be back on later :) have a lovely evening everyone

Mrsmadevans · 22/11/2018 17:42

Ahh PSB l remember that you love Tolkien now , my Dd1 loves Tolkien too 😀, sh has all The books and DVDs ❤️

AceyMac13 · 22/11/2018 17:43

Argh, cold air has set my asthma off big time! 4 degrees feels like 1 brrrrrrrr

Mrsmadevans · 22/11/2018 17:44

Acey have a lovely time with your friend m'dear . The stag cushions were from Ikea but a few years ago now but you can get them anywhere Dunelm is brilliant and the range , have a great evening you deserve it 💐❤️🤩😊

PhilomenaButterfly · 22/11/2018 17:46

I vaguely remember Tenby from when I was little, I mostly remember buying a book telling the story of the battle between the red and white dragons! 😂

Mrsmadevans · 22/11/2018 17:47

Acey take your preventer first them your Ventolin , wrap up warm ahh bless you take care 💐
