Hi can I join?. Last year my LO was in hospital for Christmas (he was a preemie and was still really poorly), so I want to make this year the best possible. I’m doing elf on the shelf, a Christmas Eve box, Christmas pyjamas etc. I’d like to go on a few days out too, so any recommendations for things a 16 month old will enjoy.

NoWordForFluffy · 08/09/2019 13:06

EmrysAtticus · 08/09/2019 14:28

Can you see the pic Mrs? You really should go, they have quite a bit of Christmas stock out already and I love their cards and wrapping paper.

WreckTangled · 08/09/2019 14:41

Evening all. S'up Mrs Grin

I am watching a film so bad it's brilliant on prime. It's called William and Kate (based on you know who) and I look more like William 🤣.

lauryloo · 08/09/2019 20:05

Oh I love a good trashy movie

I watched the Harry and Meghan one on TV, it was pure trash

Mrsmadevans · 08/09/2019 20:22

Nero ..... YO girl Grin
The film sounds awful Grin ......whatevah Grin
Just had a naice tea courtesy of DH , fish chips and beans yummy !
That reminds me, where is Chips ? Have not seen her lately hope all is ok with her Smile

FireflyGirl · 08/09/2019 21:19

She's been on the bargain threads, MrsM.

It's been a beautiful day here today, lovely and warm. The hotel/health club near us had a 'fair' on. There wasn't much there to be honest, but it was nice to get out in the sun.

I also had auditions for next year's pantomime - we're doing Robin Hood. I've auditioned for Maid Marion Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 08/09/2019 21:37

Yummy, Wreck!

I've not done much today really. Though Mouse did get fixed!

The Christmas puds look good, so they're all good to go into the understairs!

We got two loads of washing dry, as it went really warm this afternoon. Always a win!

Lovely haul, Emrys. How are your cross stitch decorations doing?
