The days are getting shorter; the clocks are going back...let's countdown to Christmas 2019 (thread 6)!

[NoWordForFluffy]

80

New thread. We're picking up speed!

Night night!

fluffy Good luck int he alottment. I need to go try and find the board and read. I don't tend to go anywhere else on mn lol Good luck with the haircut!

wreck Ooof good luck with the youtube ban. One of mine is grounded and it's put her into such a snit she's driving me mad. Mine are older and it doesn't influence them but they are teenagers and sometimes act like little monsters I think because of hormones haha

Mrs I'm getting my flu jab next week! The kids are getting theirs in November cause it's the soonest I could get them into the doctor. I have had all my pneumonia shots too! Go me!

woolly I don't iron anything unless I'm sewing it haha

firefly I love that placemat!

It's so cold! It's 1 C right now with today's high being 13. The highest it will be this week is 22. I'm loving the cooler weather! No more toasting!

Wheels Brexit is a controversial topic here, debates about it can get very heated!
Your weather has changed so quickly. It's cold here but nowhere near that bad (I think we're currently at around 11 degrees C)

Woolly you did ironing instead of knitting 😱
What are you making at the mo?

I don't iron - I deliberately buy dresses and cardi's that don't need it because I hate it almost as much as I hate hoovering.

MrsMad I have my flu jab booked for 2 weeks time (soonest I could fit it in with work).
I've never had flu either, hopefully it stays that way.

Firefly lovely place mats!

Tile Arthur Christmas is always a winner with children.

I woke up to a flat tyre this morning. I was expecting a £10 puncture repair but no, big slit in it so was a £55 replacement 🙄

Can I ask for some creative suggestions please? We take my nephew away every year. We tell him on Christmas Day and the trip is usually Jan / Feb.
This year we're taking him to the Isle of Mann and I need a way of telling him that's fun (for Loch Ness I crocheted him a Nessie and for Ireland I printed a little book where a leprechaun talked about giants Causeway and asked him for help is finding the Giants who were hiding).
For this trip I have no ideas at all...

Been waiting for this to come out YAY!

Crazy what about a Manx cat with no tail?

How old is he Crazy? Could you crochet him a cat without a tail? Or do a make-your-own jigsaw of a photo of the Manx flag or the Laxey Wheel? I had one done a couple of years ago at a photo printing shop.

I'm knitting now after my domestic goddess-ing this morning. It's a baby jacket and hat for my great niece's baby.

DS' letter for his flu vaccine arrived yesterday so that will be sorted soon :) Was thinking of paying for it for me this year as I have heard it's going to be a bad year.

I think a jigsaw of the Manx flag would be fab crazy

crazy yeah our weather changes so abruptly it usually makes everyone sick! It's kind of miserable to be honest

I second and third everyone's ideas of a tailless cat toy! that would be really really cute.

Mrs Those foods look SO yummy. We're off to the festival for rides in about 3 hours!

Lovely placemat Firefly, and a bargain too!

neros sorry if you’ve mentioned it but where are you off to?

Do you have any plans for tomorrow Fluffy?

Crazy I’ll put Arthur Christmas on, the girls like Elf and the snowman too. I fourth the Manx idea!

mrs I love good food! It looks delish!.

Does this thread usually get this active towards Christmas time? It’s so hard to catch up with you all!.

I managed to get some baubles with the DD’s names on yesterday, so they can be their Christmas Eve baubles.

Wheelie have a wonderful exciting time m'dear
Woolly great minds lol
Jigsaw would be great too Crazy , Em , great idea re the flu jab Em , usually much cheaper in the supermarkets too as well as convenient .

We did a jigsaw for telling the dc about lapland last year. You can get black ones in Tiger. Wish I was going to lapland this year! Where can I get guaranteed snow for Christmas? I want to go one year. Anywhere in Canada? It's nice to dream

Til yes to getting active this time of year spesh when we all find things we think others would like and post the links here
Great job on the baubles for the dc
Woolly you are a merciful saint, high priestess of the iron, well done for ignoring us naughty gels here and doing your ironing Knitting sounds gorgeous for your great neice
Crazy that is a bgr, the flat tyre bgr bgr bgr l feel your cheesed off ness well done on the flu jab too ]smile]

Wreck l think Scotland is a certain bet
'Statistically, the snowiest place in the UK is the Cairngorms in Scotland, with 76.2 days of snow or sleet falling on average. Cornwall is the least likely to get snow, with an average of only 7.4 days of snow or sleet falling a year' according to the Met office

DH says they usually have snow on the top of Pen y fan in the Brecon Beacons too but it is treacherous

Firefly your placemats are gorgeous , you will have a busy Christmas this year
Nero have a great time m'dear

I didn't think Scotland had snow at Christmas. I remember a few years back we had loads of snow the week before Christmas but it was gone by Christmas Day. I want a log cabin and snow

Til it gets pretty wild the closer it gets to Christmas. Lots of prep and stuff and photos :)

Mrs We will try! It's super sunny and clear even though it's cold so it should be a nice time! The kids are throwing a fit about me making them dress warm lol

wreck I want a log cabin and snow too. It sounds like a good deal to me! I keep wanting a good 4 feet of snow haha

I got dressed in an Autumn jumper today! It's got pusheen the cat with leaves and mushrooms and acorns.

Kirzaiah, Ronald & Austin were the names of the DC on BP Til

Maissa was the lil girls name
Al very talented beautiful children with awful names imho . I realise others may think differently but l am very old and therefore old fashioned

For you Wreck but others can look too

Have a great time Wheelie and the jumper sounds fabulous!
Fluffy you are vere qt this after. l trust you are collapsed in a heap of compost because you have worked so hard @ t'allotment

I am way behind but the third one is done.

I'm here! I've been allotmenting! 4.5 hours, and I didn't get there until just before 11 because of haircuts!

I didn't get anything in the ground, but it's more sorted now.

We're in Aviemore just before Christmas. I'll report back on Cairngorms snow!

I just went into the sitting room to find the dc watching the Christmas chronicles

Fluffy l knew you would have worked your butt off today. Excellent work well done ! Lovely you are going to Aviemore it will be gorgeous & very Christmassy l am sure
Em that is coming on beautifully well done
We are watching the Gymnastics , the girls on the bars are incredible!
My DD2 just said 'oh that was a lovely dismount'
Watched the rugby earlier, DH follows Exeter Cheifs
I have put the heating on to hell with it , we are freezing here it's supposed to be 14 c but it doesn't feel like it ! BRRRR Have done a cauliflower/broccoli cheese for tea tonight, yummy!
