Oh yes, sorry, Crazy. Your Snowdog is ace!

What I might do though, is keep the cross stitch theme for the edging too. But I'm not as crafty as you, so feel free to ignore me. 😁

Evening. You've all inspired me so I'm watching Christmas food programmes and doing Christmas cross stitch.

Part of me is thinking 'bit early', the other part is thinking 'YEYY!! CHRISTMAS!!' Blush

I hope the antibiotics work for your Mum, MrsM.

Chocolateteabag · 11/11/2019 20:33

Lol Mrs - sorry I tend to use either "recipe" or "destructions" when it comes to craft projects. I'm a rubbish cook beyond Jam and flavoured Gin so don't really "do" cookery stuff!

Mrsmadevans · 11/11/2019 20:52

Firefly Girl thank you m'dear Smile
It is not too early Xmas Grin
Chocolate no worries we all have our little ways Xmas Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 11/11/2019 22:10

It's coming on! I'm hoping that one more day will see me onto 4/6!

It's definitely not too early, Firefly! 🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄

Morning!

I made it to the station in one piece. Oh my god! The weather is frightful and I'm very soggy indeed.

I did a tiny bit more cross stitch this morning and considered my plan of action for later on (grey first!).

And yes, flouncy, once you're past my birthday 50 it absolutely bloody rattled along!

I'm going Christmas shopping Friday. Hoping to get the stocking done. My mum has leant me some money until I get paid 🙄

We've got a frost here and a dry day forecast

FireflyGirl · 12/11/2019 08:07

Miserable morning here too. I could hear the rain hammering against the window in bed Sad

My cross stitch is a little robin - just need to do the backstitch and he's done. He's very cute - reminds me of the one that sits on the allotment watching us Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 12/11/2019 08:20

We have a pair of allotment robins. They hassle you for worms when you're digging!

Getting across the Albert Dock was challenging. I'm soaked through to my undies from the walk to the station at home. Grim.

Looking for reviews of the Garmin vivoactive 4 watch - does anybody have one and can comment please? I'm thinking about it for a combined birthday and xmas present for a sporty 16 year old.

Thanks,

Mrsmadevans · 12/11/2019 08:33

Bitter cold here🥶
Am just going to make a bolognaise and a chilli 😋

Mrsmadevans · 12/11/2019 08:34

Fluffy hog the radiator in the office. 😁

TheWoollybacksWife · 12/11/2019 08:40

That sounds grim Fluffy. Have you got a change of clothes at work?

Happy shopping Wreck

Firefly you inspired me to record some festive food programmes so I think that what I'll watch while I drink my tea and crack on with the never ending baby blanket I'm crocheting.

Fanny I do stuff like that - wake up insanely early and then knit/crochet until I doze off. A couple of rows usually has me back in the land of nod - as long as I don't look at my phone. Once I've done that I'm wide awake.

Octopus my DDs have Fitbits and love them but I can't comment on the Garmin watch.

floraloctopus · 12/11/2019 09:07

thanks..the garmin watch is now off the list as he wouldn't be allowed to wear it at school - I need to find a fitness tracker which can't receive text and phone call alerts.

Back to the drawing board.

Mrsmadevans · 12/11/2019 09:55

Woolly can we have a pic of the baby blanket please?
I reek of onions 😄
Off to the perfume counter at Boots for a good squirt to mask it 🤪

NerosFiddle · 12/11/2019 14:29

Afternoon all from a cold but fabulous Center Parcs.
