Welcome to the first thread for the 2019 Christmas countdown m'dears

That's nice if your boss, Crazy.

Cathy, that's all kinds of wrong! 😂

No, I never did call them out, the manky thing went straight in the bin Seafood.

I have family in Co. Down. All my male cousins are fishermen and all my female cousins work in the fish factory.

I had veggie sausages, eggs, a flat mushroom, a tomato, beans, hash browns and toast, a banana and a hot chocolate for breakfast. After buying a new charger lead, I came home and went back to sleep for a bit. I'm out late tonight for Tolkien's birthday dinner.

Cathy I have a really bright plug in night light which cost £2 on offer in Sainsbury's, £4 full price. DS2 now has an Illumi-mate, they do all kinds of characters, but that might be a bit dim for your girls.

wheels Thanks I'll just have to brush it off. I'm so happy to hear your insurance won't be affected, this is terrible that you should even have to worry about it. It sounds like a horrible way for your friend to die so needlessly, it's not right.

Crazy the christmas wreath sounds very pretty but complicated, I hope your friend will appreciate the effort that goes into it!

Philomena I'd be tempted to regift any other rubbish they send you back to them. Enjoy the tolkein dinner!

Cathy Do you think he's working on the do it so bad they don't ask you to do it again principle? My eldest has a dream lite pillow pet thingy which he likes.

Fluffy my boss is lovely. We get on very well (we used to be on the same level in different departments and worked together a lot before he got a promotion in to my dept). He's a big believer in giving flexibility in the hope it encourages people to work hard in return.

Seafood My friend is envious of my being able to crochet as she has tried a lot and it hasn't clicked for her so she will be very grateful i think.
I also delivered my crochet cactus and peas to their respective recipients and have had a lot of thank you messages for them so they've gone down well.

I have decided to attempt Bullet Journalling to try and keep myself organised this year so starting that today... I feel I may get lost in a Pinterest black hole!

On the 10th day of Christmas I'll gladly give to thee
10 lords a leaping
9 ladies dancing
8 maids a milking
7 swans a swimming
6 geese a laying
5 golden rings
4 calling birds
3 french hens
2 turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree!

Good morning friends! We are nearing the finish line on our 12 days of Christmas!

crazy I tried to get into bullet journaling and I failed so bad. LOL I keep considering it again but mostly I just junkbook which is crazy random not really scrapbooking haha. I'm googling crochet wreaths now! Maybe that can be a project for me.

seafood My kids have those dream lites too. They adore them.

Psb Sounds like a good meal and then a nap! You are living the life right now lady!

cathy I'm cringing at the bed making your husband does. Mine thankfully does everything right with the bed haha

Fluffy Have a good Friday today lol

Mrs Good luck taking down the decs!

My husband is off to pick up his meds so he can get started on them. Younger kid started school first today. Oldest is still sleeping. Why? I'm not entirely sure why.

I didn't sleep well last night but my wedge is finally arriving today so I think that will help so very much. It doesn't help cats were invading my sleep last night. I don't know if they could sense I was worried or were cold but three of them decided to nest on me lol

I'm watching a show on hoarders and it always makes me want to declutter. Do you guys have shows like that with those people who fill their homes with clutter and garbage? It's so sad

Was your oldest up late last night Wheelie? Or maybe a growth spurt?

DD!

Wheels I have always kept a random notebook with me and used it for lists - everything from my five year plan to recipes to a cleaning to do list - but I also had a diary and it was a pain moving from one to the other so I'm going to attempt to combine them.
It won't be pretty but that's ok!

With the wreath, I've uploaded a pic of some of the examples I've found on Pinterest. Do you use that app? I love it but I lose a lot of time on it!

Those are beautiful Crazy!

Crazy l went to a neighbour the other day and she had done these pom pom wreaths OMG they were fantastic so very pretty, she is good with her hands will see if l can find a pic to show you what they were like now.

Those you have there are just gorgeous too. l love them, you are so clever!

Glad you are feeling better today and wasn't that decent of your Manager bless them
I am sure they get more back off you than they give though. l bet you are excellent at your job . I can tell ! second sight see

Love that snowman one Mrs! Even I can make pom poms! I'd probably need to do it when the DC were at school though. DS2 uses my being out of the room as an opportunity to misbehave.

PSB I think it's hormones. She's supposed to start her monthly soon. She usually gets really run down right before. I let her sleep in on these days.

Your DD is super adorable!! I love her

crazy I love those wreaths! I do use pinterest! I have so many boards it's a little pathetic honestly lol. I get a lot of my recipes off pinterest too. Also ideas for cat toys and stuff.

We are off to the doctor! I will let you all know if I come away with a date for my tube placement and such!

Mrs That pompom snowman wreath is the greatest thing ever and I think I want to make one!

Wheelie good luck at the Drs m;dear , l love the pom pom wreath too !
PSB l can't believe your DS2 ever misbehaves he is a sweet child !

Good luck, Wheelie! 🍀

It takes everyone differently Wheelie. I used to feel really nauseous the week before.

Thanks! I'll pass that on to DD!

It's not really misbehaving intentionally Mrs. He exhibits all the symptoms of ADHD. He needs constant supervision.

Just off out. See you tomorrow! Mrs don't forget to tell your DD to toast the Professor at 9pm precisely!

Have fun, PSB!

DD in that wig PSB lol she looks like a sixties girl!
Wheelie l see the clutter/hoarder shows and it inspires me then l start doing some clearing out and get bored lol

Have a great night out PSB will get the DD to toast him with her Vegan choc/coconut M & S pretend Baileys!
