Got the Metro as well Smile well DH got it for me bless him .
Think the weatherman may be right , every single barometer (they have 4 Hmm) in Mum's, had risen to indicate fine weather Grin
Keep everything crossed !

NoWordForFluffy · 23/08/2019 18:01

I've just applied for SCD tickets. If I get lucky for the grand final you'll have to come with me, Mrs! The MN Christmas countdown SCD outing!

Sorry everyone but I'm not impressed with the nice weather. I want it to rain in England when I'm on holiday Grin

TheWoollybacksWife · 23/08/2019 20:16

Stop it Wreck. We've got a shed load of family arriving this weekend to help us celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary I was a child bride and we have arranged a BBQ and garden party. So it's got to stay sunny and warm.

Check in on Monday afternoon to see how my hangover is coming along 😂

Mrsmadevans · 23/08/2019 21:04

Wreck it will be lovely when you come back have a lovely time Smile. l am sure when the children go back to school the weather is always gorgeous or it may just seem like this because they have gone back to school after a long 7 weeks Grin
Woolly , congratulations on your upcoming Wedding Anniversary your party plans sound lovely Smile
Fluffy l'm a coming with you ! Grin
I will apply for tickets too and if l get them you can come with me as well Grin

I've told my DDs to apply for everything Fluffy. I bet if they get any they'll get Blackpool as it's the least convenient.

CrazyBaubles · 23/08/2019 23:02

Good luck for your SCD tickets all!
And happy upcoming anniversary Woolly

I have had a very Christmassy morning. Did you know there is a town outside Fairbanks in Alaska called North Pole? It has a Santa Claus house with a live Santa in all year around so I had to have a look.
The whole town has candy cane lamp posts and a lot of the buildings have wreaths 🎄

Gets in before Fluffy

The robin tapestry is gorgeous Xmas Grin

And in 4 months it will be Christmas Eve ! (And I haven't even been on holiday yet )

NoWordForFluffy · 24/08/2019 08:02

Morning!

I was busy making Yorkshire puddings so have just found time to post!

Hopefully I'll get a good chunk of outline done tonight, then finish it next week, as we're away tomorrow night and I'm not taking it with me!

Once we get down to 100 on the count, the time will romp away with us. Is it @FireflyGirl's husband's birthday on 100 days? I know it's somebody's husband! Xmas Grin My birthday is 50 days.

Rudolph Day tomorrow. I won't be doing anything Christmassy!

Fluffy ❤️ your Robin it's beautiful, your Mum will love it .l won't be doing anything Christmas either😁it will be too hot lol
Love the Santa all year round Crazy you have had a trip of a lifetime just wonderful.
Up Mum's today long day am sorting & cleaning conservatory after it's been painted 🙄 DH helping me out with it thank Goodness my hero 🥰

WreckTangled · 24/08/2019 08:55

No Christmas magazines in the airport Grin

NerosFiddle · 24/08/2019 08:58

Crazy that looks amazing. Hope you're having a great time.

CrazyBaubles · 24/08/2019 18:28

Wreck I didn't even think of that! We're flying from Alaska to Seattle in 3 days so I'll have to have a look. I wonder if American mags are any better than ours? 🤔

I am loving this trip, although yesterday, today and tomorrow is all about DH (apart from the North Pole obviously). We're in a tiny place called Dawson, just over the Canadian border. It's an old gold rush town that he's wanted to go to for years 🙄
On the plus side, we spent last night watching a cancan show and drinking so my head hurts today.

EmrysAtticus · 24/08/2019 18:30

Can't believe 4 months today is Christmas Eve! Also Sanditon is on Sunday, GBBO on Tuesday and SCD in two weeks. So excited for my favourite time of year.

NoWordForFluffy · 24/08/2019 18:38

Me too, Emrys!

I've cooked myself today. Good and proper. Bit toasty at the allotment! Got loads done though, so that's something.

Crazy, I hope there's some American magazines you can buy. That would be ace!

Morning all. It's my turn for a lie on today but I've been awake since 2.

NoWordForFluffy · 25/08/2019 08:43

2?!

I slept like the dead last night. Exhausted from the allotment yesterday!

We're off to Glasgow today for one night. The kids love it there!

It's such a beautiful day today. ☀️

Rudolph Day Xmas Grin

DD and DH are unreasonably excited that Peaky Blinders in on tonight and tomorrow . Not my cup of tea, TBH.

NoWordForFluffy · 25/08/2019 11:45

Nor mine, 70!
