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!).

I’ve always been better at girls names!. We’re considering Pearl for this little girl but still aren’t 100% sure. We have Darcie Violet and June Rosemary. But when it comes to boys names I have no clue! Nothing seems to ‘go’ with our daughters names!.

Ah, don't worry about matching names with your existing kids' names; that way madness lies! Just choose what you like!

Girls' names are piss easy. I could probably name 10 more girls and ZERO boys!

Honestly, download the ONS spreadsheet with all names from 2017 (with 2 or more incidences) and you'll find something!

Fluffy Will have a look now!. You’re right about girls, they all seem so lovely. But boys names just seem the same to me.

I'm glad I didn't have a boy. Boy's names are very hard. I would not have had a clue what to name a boy hahaha

Cathy I agree with Fluffy don't worry about matchy names. That's a new modern thing that I never really understood. None of my family's names match or have a theme or even sound good haha.

Also I love your daughter's names! You did so well with them!

Did any of you watch the ABC murders OMG it was fabulous loved it !
Acey, thank you re Dad's pics he does look better in these pics to yeterday even ...we shall see
Wheelie, seriously it will change your life m'dear, you won't look back , they are advocating feeding with home cooked foods here now l kid you not, they liquidise cooked dinners and all sorts , they say it is better for the Children to partake of normal food. Thank you re liking the house and my Dad's pics its very kind of you m;dear
I meant to tell you all some very good news too, my little girl l used to nurse went home today ! YAY!
Huge news here !! We have finished the Turkey !! Yes you heard me right lol the Turkey has been devoured lol
We had Turkey sarnies for tea and it has all gone !! I think it is a record for us tbh

MrsOMG She's home?!?! That's so wonderful!!! YAY!!

Also woot for finishing the turkey!

Around here a lot of folks are doing blenderized foods. My friend's daughter has been tube fed for 12 years and is on a prepackaged but real food blendered up diet and it seems to work really well for her. At first for me they'll stick to a formula until I'm at a better weight.

It's 5:35 pm and I'm bloody frozen. We turned on our electric fireplace to get some heat going lol

I'm hoping it will snow soon. Still no good snows that cover the ground. Maybe the new year will bring us a lot of snow lol

That is great they are doing the same over the pod Wheelie , all singing from the same hymn sheet .
I know the little girls family are so happy bless them and me
I am of to bed sweet dreams everyone
Night night

Off to bed now. Think we’ve decided on Pearl for our little girl!. June is in with us tonight so hopefully we get some sleep. Night everyone!.

DS1 doesn't have real food in his I don't think.

Mrs Sweet dreams my friend!!

cathy Sweet dreams! I love Pearl for your little girl's name!! So so perfect!

PSB Yeah from reading on the groups I've joined most people do well with formulas and don't need blended food. It's honestly preferences and about what the individual person tolerates.

Morning! I'm awake but could do with more sleep. As is DS. I'm hoping he nods off again as he's really not had enough sleep yet.

I'm taking the kids to the cinema today. DH is staying here and doing a massive toy cull so we don't drown in stuff imminently!

Morning!

Just been woken up by maverick dropping one of his toys on my face lol.

Cathy - I love pearl, it’s a beautiful name as are your other kids names too!

I found boys names easier than girls names.

Glad to hear the wee girl is home Mrs, lovely news.

Morning everyone 😀
Am up early today ,. Have a day off from the parents courtesy of DSis. I did everything I could yest for them so just a matter of doing their brekky ,dressing and doing their meals .
We are off to Goldcliff and then to pick up the parcels from the shops of stuff l
bought in the sales😄
I have eaten too much am bloated and feel like a huge balloon that needs to burst lol 😄🎈📍
Thank you for the countdown Fluffy 😀 l like it l don't know why 😄, enjoy the pictures with the DC 😊
Sweet dreams my dear Wheelie😄
Have a great day everyone 😀 spi LTR 😊❤️

Acey , Mav wanted to play 😊❤️😅🐅
It's like a miracle she's home 😊😄 am off to get ready for Goldcliff 😊 have a lovely day😄
Spk later 🐊😄

They are taking the. Out of the duvet cover l got my mother on DM but she loves it 😅

Morning! DS2's playing Murder Mystery 2 in Roblox, DD's still in bed.

PSB that sounds great l think I would like to play that 💀💀 lol !

Mrs - he certainly did want to play bless him. He’s currently rolling around on the floor with his Christmas mouse toy! Have a lovely time at goldcliff 😁❤️

Well, that’s the house blitzed to within an inch of its life haha. All presents now have a home yay. We have taken the downstairs Christmas trees down and put them in the attic. We wouldn’t usually take them down so early, but we were desperate for the space and we’ve also ordered floor tiles for the living room, so want to get them put down straight away when they arrive.
We are having coffee and crepes before heading to the beach for a stroll. Meal out with my brothers this evening, then tomorrow want to really crack on with the nursery as 89 days until my due date isn’t long at all.

Have a grand day all!

Wheelie how do you link to your own YouTube videos on here? I did a video of one of Santa's reindeer eating his carrots on DS2's bed on the McDonald's site and I really wanted to show you all.

Smallfoot was so good. There was barely anyone there too, which was great! I booked for us to see Hey Duggee next month which should be fun too!

More Christmas buffet for lunch. It's never-ending! 😂

Thank you all! We’ve decided on Pearl Agnes for our little girl, still nothing for our son though.

Fluffy I’m glad you had a good trip to the Cinema.

Mrs Me and DH have them bed covers!. Hope you have a lovely day!.

Acey You’re more prepared than me!. We have a few bits and pieces to put up in the girls’ room so will clean when I do that. But for now we still have toys everywhere.

I tried that sleepy cream from lush on the girls last night and they woke up at 9!. It’s a miracle. June seems to be feeling a little better today so we might go for a walk for some fresh air later, but for now we’re cuddled up on the sofa still.

Afternoon!
We’ve just got back from the beach, it was deserted and so quiet. God I love where I live it’s so beautiful, hills, cliffs and beaches within a stones throw of our house ❤️
Just enjoying a coffee in my fabulous new mug

We are going to sort through all our clothes and Addie’s and get them all put away. Most of paddy’s stuff is now moved in aside from the big stuff which we will do before we go back to work next week. I need to remember I have a midwife appointment on Thursday when we go back to work, so will only be a half day

Cathy - that’s a beautiful name for your wee girl, I’m sure you’ll have one for your son soon :) I can’t stand the mess haha I just want everything sorted ready for Addie’s arrival

I’m just browsing the sales online

MrsMad that's brilliant news about your ex patient (and the turkey

Slightly belated Welcome to the thread Cathy

Wheels I'm not surprised your a little shaken at the idea of a tube but if it helps you feel better it must be worth it.

Fluffy Sounds Like you're having a lovely day.

I am very firmly on the zombie bench. I'm back in work today and I have absolutely no motivation at all. I started at 9 and have achieved very little as I overdid the homemade (by DH) champagne cocktails yesterday. We had a lazy day together to try and forget the Christmas sadness and now I have a bad head 🤕

Good Morning friends! On the third day of Christmas I gladly give to thee! Three French hens, Two Turtle Doves, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree!!

Husband and eldest are gone to the doctor so the younger kid and I are watching Christmas movies and listening to the rain fall on the house. It is pouring out.

crazy I'm so sorry! It would be so hard to be back at work today especially since you had a let down of a Christmas :(

acey I love that mug! I can't even imagine living so close to a beach. I have to drive 15 hours to get to one lol

Cathy Pearl Agnes is a beautiful name. I wish I could go out for a walk today but the weather decided to be yucky and wet lol

PSB I just shared the link and posted [ [ ] ] around it like one does for links.

Mrs That duvet cover is so awesome! Have fun at Goldcliffe!

acey Does Mav ever murder his toys? Someone in this house keeps throwing their toys in the water dish! No idea which one either. Too many suspects lol

Very interested to know what the doctor decides on my kids SMOs (ankle braces) and if they need replaced. Then this afternoon husband has a doctors appointment to check his cholesterol.

I might try and get him to take me to the flea market today haha
