Hang onto your hats; we're on the home straight, sprinting to the finish line! It's the Countdown to Christmas, thread 10!

[NoWordForFluffy]

Evening all! I'm not sure if this will be the last or the penultimate thread, but here goes!

Nero, O2 appears to be working now (conveniently now I'm home and don't need mobile data!).

bought B&H midnight fig and pomegranate handwash yesterday. People on MN have told me before that B&H isn't very nice, does anyone know what this is like

(I thought B&H stood for Benson&Hedges when I glanced )

I bought some for the downstairs loo and some Sainsburys spiced handwash upstairs. The B&H smells like raspberry , its nice but not a spicy Christmas scent.

My PFB is 19yo today.

This time 19 years ago I was waiting for him and the Millenium.
He is now a gangly tall University student .

70 Happy birthday to your DS!

Firefly We’re moving to North Yorkshire after Christmas, what was it like there?

Afternoon!
Just got home from work and we are going to start assembling Addie’s nursery furniture in a wee while.
Because I have to see the midwife at the Drs surgery, I end up getting sick after every visit, it sucks so bad!

We were going to go paint and decoration shopping today, but going to do it Monday instead.

Christmas wise, I have a few things left to buy and so, so much to wrap! Will have to do a wee bit of wrapping each night now.

Seafood - I love the rain at night too, but definitely not when I have to go out in it!

Happy birthday to your DS, 70. 🎁🎉

Happy birthday 70DS! 🎁🎂🎈🎉🎊

Oh well, I'm sure my hand wash will smell very nice, just not Christmassy!

I'm so glad your DS didn't embarrass you Fluffy!

I will be a blubbering mess when DS does his school play next year, Fluffy

Where abouts are you moving to, Frang?

We're staying in a cottage between Pickering and Malton, but only live an hour away anyway, and I grew up in Hull so am very familiar with North Yorkshire and the coast.

Happy birthday, (not so)mini70.

I'd love Christmas handwash and loo cleaner, I'm a sucker for seasonal cleaning products, but I never remember to look for it!

Firefly we’ll be near Ripon

Gosh I am so rubbish at posting on here!

How did you rate the train overall firefly ? I am taking my DS on Saturday and quite excited

Went to Tong Garden Centre today for the Santa Grotto which was great!

Where abouts in North Yorkshire are you moving to Frang ? I live just outside of Thirsk. Congrats on the house purchase!!

I hope you are feeling better chips Time is a healer in these situations and it will get easier

So glad you have a good friend Acey My DS was a March baby and once Xmas was out of the way it just flew!!!

Pixie We’ll be moving near Ripon

I’ve just got home, absolutely shattered. Just got one more full week left before LO comes along. Just going to get the boys now then going home to nap whilst they watch some Christmas films. Hope you all have a good day!

My wee princess Addie is going to look so damn cute, I can’t even contain my excitement

Pixie - I’m very lucky to have him this is the first and only Christmas I just want to hurry up and pass so I can finally meet my wee princess! It’s good to know it should hopefully start flying by!

acey Ewww on the rain! It's cold here -4 but sunny! I'm so glad to see the sun too. It's been a rough few days so I need the sunshine haha Hubby is back to work today and Lilah has a vet appointment

Fluffy you are on the ball with cleaning. My carer had to cancel today so I'll try and get as much cleaning done myself today without harming myself haha

Biddy You sound so motivated it's kind of exhausting just reading your post! I hope your day goes smoothly and well.

PSB Have a good one!!

Fork Those are gorgeous photos but I love the kitty in the last one the most I admit lol

Thank you all for your very lovely comments and it really makes me feel better to know you all are here if I need to talk.

seafood That's very much the truth. I liken it to a hurt that scars over but still aches

70s Happy Birthday to your DS!!!

Frange Do you have photos of the house? Or a link where it's on the market we can see? I'm so so excited for you

Nap while kids watch Christmas movies sounds like a great idea to me!!

acey you are killing me with all these little clothes. UGH I wish I could have a new baby. LOL I have a teddy bear I dress in clothing though (It's a weighted bear of Calypso's birth weight) so when I see cute outfits in the store? Sometimes I buy them for my bear hahaha! I'm going to be the best grandma but I have like at LEAST 5-6 years before that comes around.

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS! The sun is shining and even though my shoulder still hurts and the kid is under the weather (she got the bug) I'm still in pretty good spirits. LOL

Wheelie - it’s not as cold as it usually is here at this time of year! It’s 8 degrees C so 46.4F I hope Lilah’s appointment goes well! I’m sure it will you’re taking fab care of her maverick will be routing for her too, although he’s currently trying to paw the PlayStation controller LOL! I’m glad you’ve got some sunshine!
I’m pretty sure Addie’s wardrobe is better and bigger than mine already LOL. We’ve been buying all different sizes as we have no idea how much she will weigh, but all the sonogrophers comment on how long her legs are and how big her tummy is I just want her here, I can’t wait to see her in 4D on Wednesday though, that’s going to be hella cool!
The weighted bear sounds fantastic, I didn’t even know such things existed! You will be the best Grandma ever and that’s something to look forward to I’ll be spamming this thread with pics of Addie when she’s born

Paddy is going to be in the delivery room with me, which is exciting and scary at the same time! He always calms me down though and never fails to make me smile
He’s ordered some more stuff for Addie, so I can’t wait to see it when it arrives

Frange - so exciting that you get to meet your wee baby soon! Enjoy your nap and lovely relaxed afternoon

Snuggle bum Mav wants to play PlayStation

Afternoon all 🤩
Been so busy have not had chance to catch up yet . Just wanted to show you Mum looking a million dollars last night at the dance , will catch up later , off to view the auction in a min laters alligators 🐊

Forgot the pics

Picked DS2 up. 😆

Afternoon! I'm tired now. I've walked 9.5 miles today apparently, according to the Fitbit!

I went to Sainsbury's, had my eyes tested, chose new glasses and then walked home. I have an awesome wheelie trolley from Ikea, so can transport heavy / large-ish loads without the car (I do prefer to walk where possible). Then it was the trip to school for pick up. I'm now cooking curry for dinner.

We didn't have time for the present audit today, so will do it tonight. Might do some wrapping too!

acey I cannot wait to see the spam of Addie pics!! I'm so glad you guys keep these going all year long I was worried after Christmas there'd just be none until like August next year haha

Awwww Mav. Lilah wants you to know....we only have Xbox hahaha

Mrs Your mum looks beautiful!!! She looks like such a kind lady too

PSB YAY DS2

fluffy Someday I'm coming to the UK and going to all these stores I always hear about lol

Hot curry or mild curry? I've not had curry forever

I've got some wrapping I need to do. I've got 4 things that need wrapped and then I'm good for the year!

Mid-way curry. It was a fish curry from Malaysia.

Wheelie, I mostly go to grocery stores in the main. Other shopping tends to be online!

Had cheeseburgers for tea, DS2 will go to bed at 7.10, DD will go at 7.40. 😋🍔🍔🍔😴

Wheelie - Mav is not happy that you have Xbox 😂 I’m so so excited to see what my wee angel Addie looks like! I’ll post pics on Wednesday when I see her in 4D too my heart could burst I love her so much already this is my first year on here, and I’m so glad to be apart of this thread
Lilah is looking stunning as always!
I keep baby talking to maverick and he just sighs and walks off, so funny 😂

Mrs - you and your mum look absolutely beautiful and raidiant! Beautiful photos

Addie is beating me up again

Wheelie - I cant stand curry since being pregnant, usually i’d go for mild though! That’s not much help really

Forgot to post a pic of these adorable wee gruffalo bibs We got Addie

I love curry, the hotter the better.

But when I was pregnant, I couldn't touch anything spicy without horrendous heartburn that made it not worth it. Another reason I hated being pregnant!

Beautiful photos, Mrs. Very well dressed pair you make

I'm taking advantage of the tv being hooked up (ours at home isn't because the outlet thing is at the wrong end of our lounge/dining room, we only have Netflix/Amazon//NowTV) and watching Kirstie's handmade crap Christmas. DH made his escape pretty quickly
