Whizz, bang, pop...remember, remember it's the Countdown to Christmas 2019. Thread 7.

[NoWordForFluffy]

Here we go. I think 6 was the quickest thread yet!

Sorry about your DD Woolly - the best drivers past second time so I'm told I'm awful and I fluked passing first time

Managed to catch earlier train so I'm hoping there is still some cake when I get home
Meeting today was awful - I'm the only "laydee" in the room and somehow I get to take the notes - more fool them when they realise my total lack of scientific knowledge (I'm the bean counter for a scientific co)

Sorry for your dd woolly I also didn't pass first time

Evening everyone, the weathers crap here. It’s freezing and cloudy, there should be rain later tonight.

chocolate ahh that’s lovely that you got to see DS on his birthday.

Ahh bless her wooly, it took me 2 times to pass mine. I don’t believe it’s any reflection on how you drive, your nerves are so high on your test that you can easily mess up.

School trips aren’t that expensive here, but so far ours have only been trips to farms or stately homes. There’s a residential in year 6 that will be expensive, but it’s high schools that will cost the most.

We’re going to DM’s when DH gets back, so I don’t have to worry about tea tonight. DS2 is feeling better, I’ve been giving him water all the time to help flush him out.

It definitely feels more like Christmas now that bonfire night is out the way. Has everyone noticed how many Christmas adverts there have been?!

Fanny l didn't buy it because it was £8.95 a ball for 400g admittedly but it seemed like a lot to me. I am browsing ebay as we speak

Crazy l seem to have missed a few post pages here too , apologies to anyone l have ignored
Glad you caught the early train and can have some quality time with your DS Chocolate
Good news your DS is better too Rose

Forgot my bargains from
TkMaxx
Watch £6
Boxed hand creams £6
Earrings £3.99 🤪

Thank you mrs ☺️

I need to get started on my shopping, I’ve left it very last minute. I don’t know where to start this year.

Thank you Fanny l have joined the love crafts and they are sending me a voucher for 15%😄will get Mum to have a look tomorrow thank you m'dear 💐
Forgot to post pics of my bargains 🙄

MrsMad I use woolwarehouse for my online wool shopping. They are good - prices are reasonable and delivery is fast but it's only free if you spend £25 so for small amounts I usually just go to my local wool shop and pay more per ball.

Thank you all for your commiserations for DD2. She's got a date for next month and is watching for cancellations.

I love looking at cross stitch but don’t have the patience for it. Done this, this week though:

This week’s big projects are finishing the boy’s things to get me lists and finish painting their bed so they can move into their new room. I know it’s only the start of November but I am already feeling a bit stressed! I did get my Christmas shifts today though and I am definitely off for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, hooray!!

Thank you Woolly Mum will have a field day on her tablet tomorrow
Sue well done on the dolls and the Octopus square l don't know what it is but l don't want to be rude and say

Thank you Fanny l have just found them OMG my Mum is going to think she is in seventh heaven

Our school does residential in year five and year six so we have two years of. Perhaps that's why it's a cheap one? About £150.

Fanny, l have a printer no worries. l will print them off for her she will be so happy thank you
It's a ghost is it sorry Sue

Oh I will have to look in tk maxx when I'm next nearby

Oh no, Woolly. Onwards and upwards for her. At least she's re-booked.

My mum and my sister both took 6 tests each I passed first time so most people get there in the end!

I've been getting my cross stitches from Love Crafts. They're a lovely company.

Wreck, my primary had residentials in the 3rd and 4th year juniors too. I'm not sure what the kids' school does.

Crazy, it's funny how cross stitch looks so much different from afar / in a photo!

There's no heating on my train home. 🥶

I've got to go and do the food shop on my way home. Joy!

I had more lessons than that (21), but didn't really go out with my parents like some did. But, it's not a race (though I was insanely jealous of the September borns who passed before I turned 17!).

No worries. I hope that it all worked ok!
