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!).

Red, thank you sweetheart, wishing for you and your family to have a lovely day too . ❤️🤶🎅🎁that's a date! 😄

Acey lm so happy for you that you and your siblings are all together again❤️ bless your nephew that is so sweet of him ❤️

Wheelie am loving the quilt OMG it's beautiful❤️😄
The counters and Fab , well done!

Red , your DS with his christingle sweet Orange , love it ! ❤️😄

Wheelie thank you ,❤️
I have banned anyone except DD1 eating them because we can eat anything & everything and she can't because of being vegan 😄 she loves them ❤️
I have been really busy but am sat watching the telly and writing to you all here and just going to get my DH to make me another cuppa lol 😄, l peeled the sprouts and the carrots in front of Carol's from Kings , l am not ashamed to admit l cried at the beautiful words and singing and atmosphere twas simply angelic. I am thinking about you and Acey and Red and Woolly and send you all my very best wishes and loads of virtual love and hugs🌷🌷❤️

Sorry for so many posts, I have caught up now lol , just want to say to every last one of us to have a wonderful day with our beloveds tomorrow.
As Red & Woolly said 'see you on the other side'
and as Tiny Tim said
"A Merry Christmas to us all; God bless us, every one!"

Paddy and my grandads stockings have been filled

And can’t forget mav

Ah, Mrs, lovely jam tarts! Did you make the pastry? Jus-Rol is vegan, I believe, if you want to buy it in. My pastry is a million miles from vegan as it has butter, cream and eggs in! My mincemeat has suet too. So not good for your DD! (Taste ace though 😋)

We've just put all the presents out and, oops, I think I've over-bought!

DS unwraps so slowly; we may be here until next Christmas!

Love them Acey !

Don't forget to leave a carrot out for Rudolph and a mince pie for Santa

Mrs that's a good idea! Tell dad his internet kid loves him and wishes him very well. Tell him I deal with anxiety because of my health too so I totally understand

That's wonderful you made some just for your sweet dd. You are awesome!

Sleep tight! See you on Christmas!

Red You are so welcome sweetie! I'll post a photo later!

Merry Christmas to you!

Acey I LOVE those stockings! Time zones always amaze me. LOL my friend in Australia is already doing pressies and such!

Our bathroom has been organized and super cleaned so there's that and that's great news. Kitchen has been swept again (my dad brought in a lot of dust ) and is now being mopped lol

Fluffy LOL!! We have a lot more pressies this year than I planned. Especially since the kids already got so many from chanukah!

Mrs - those jam tarts look amazing and now I’m craving them big time 😁❤️
Santa’s getting llama biscuits and a bottle of Guinness Rudolph can have his carrot if Addie doesn’t make me eat them all first, this baby loves raw veg
Thank you for the virtual hugs and wishes ju dear; you and everyone on this thread has been a constant source of support, relief, happiness and distraction through what has been the hardest time of my life losing my dad, but also the happiest finding out I was pregnant and having a wee girl, and getting together with Paddy ❤️
Feeling so very humble and grateful, more than I could ever express!
I wish each and every one of you the happiest of Christmases 🎄🎅🏼❤️
I will be on tomorrow probably before the mammoth cooking session

Fluffy, I didn't make the pastry ! l must confess l did use Jus-Rol lol , it is fab, thank you , although l love making pastry with a quarter of lard for the mince pies but l just haven't had time this year, worse luck. N'eer mind there is always another time for them, Family comes first
Your DC will love their pressies and the Snowman BAB sounds gorgeous l would love one have the most wonderful time m'dear .
l envy you young ones with your lovely DC , such a happy and exciting time , don't forget the carrot for Rudolph and Santa will have to have one of your deicious mince pies AND a cheese straw lol

Yay I found my Xmas dress that I can wear tomorrow

oooooh Acey I absolutely adore that!

Mrs I miss my girls being young and all that Christmas magic! It's different when they are older.

The roast is smelling so amazing. We'll get the corn casserole into the oven at about 4:30 as it takes an hour to bake. Then we'll get the rolls in the oven and then work on the macaroni and mashed taters and such.

Wheelie, l will tell Dad his DD from another Mother lol, wished him a happy Christmas , your cooking sounds delicious , am craving Mac n cheese now , am not pregnant though lol , it's not the same now they are lder but we have lovely memories to treasure and more to make have a great nights sleep and will see you on the other side lol
Acey , l wish l could give you some tarts m'dear n'eer mind , am loving your dress it's really pretty with a touch of the nightmare before Christmas, only because it is black lol , l love Nightmare before Christmas
Isn't everyone here just wonderful, each and every one of them
l wish you the very best my dear , see you on the other side
Am signing off now really? heehee yeah l bet lol wishing everyone a wonderful day tomorrow, much love and goodwill to all of us here
Have a great nights sleep ready for the big day everyone!

Tonight’s bath bomb and very festive bubble bath

Just a quick catch up here.

Wheel good luck with the dinner party

Red so sorry for your loss. I hope you can have a good day tomorrow

Mrs those tarts look amazing

Fluffy my pastry is the same, filled with everything non vegan.

Acey Happy Birthday!

I've had a couple of glasses of wine and contemplating whether to build a toy kitchen tonight or leave it till tomorrow. The dc have so many presents that I don't want to overwhelm them, because they're really only babies.

To everyone on here, I hope you all have a very merry Christmas.

Mrs sleep tight my dear! May your Christmas sleep be full of all kinds of memories of Christmas's gone by

acey I love that bath bomb. Absolutely festive.

Fiddle I'd probably leave that kitchen for tomorrow honestly lol

I'm half worried my MIL isn't going to come over and we've been cooking and cleaning and stuff for nothing. I would be absolutely gutted

Red I'm very sorry for your loss but glad you're enjoying time with your children 💐

Happy Birthday Acey

Sorry I've been awol again - lots going on here. Presents are wrapped, most have been delivered, I've managed to sneak DHs present in under his nose by getting DM to wrap it and put it in with gifts my auntie left at her house for us

Will head to bed soon. Had a small blip today (as yet another year gwith no baby) but good friends have pulled me out of it and I'm hoping everyone else's excitement will carry me through...

I have now picked DH up from the pub, lights on, Bucks Fizz in hand (thank you to whoever recommended to M&S Cranberry & Clementine Bucks Fizz 🥂 it's lovely) 😋

🎄🎄 Merry Christmas Everyone 🎄🎄

Crazy no worries on being awol! We totally get it!!

Almost 9 pm and the visitors have left. It was a good get together! Success! Now we are going to go drive around and look at lights, eat some pie and go to bed!

Merry Christmas friends!!! I love you all dearly

Just been woken up by Addie repeatedly kicking my ribs very hard
Wheelie - I’m glad your get together went well, yay! Enjoy the lights and your pie

Need to pee and get back to sleep

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! 🎅🏼☃️🎁🎄

Merry Christmas everyone!
