I dried out at about lunch time! At the same time as succumbing to a personalised tin of Quality St from JL! 😂 It's mostly green triangles, but also chocolate blocks and a limited edition something or other!

No spare clothes at work, sadly.

Neros, it looks lovely there! Very Christmassy. 🎅🏻🎄

I am keeping this cross stitch, Mrs. It's very me! I've loads of bloody Hobbycraft frames everywhere waiting to be filled!

That sounds like my worst day, Fluffy. Urgh, I hate wet clothes.

I have spare tights at work, as there's a loose paving stone between work and the town centre which gets a puddle under it when it rains and every fecking time I step on it and it fills my shoe with muddy water and soaks my tights. Every fecking time!!

A line in MrsM's post caught my attention and made me giggle, which I really needed today:
'Fanny pics too please m'dear' 🤭🤣 How rude!!

NoWordForFluffy · 12/11/2019 18:38

There's one of those slabs near to the station, Firefly. I stand on it way too often! 🤦‍♀️

I hadn't noticed Mrs' filth. Too funny! Xmas Grin

Ooh personalised Quality Street. I might ask my brother if he can get me one. I'm up next week for mum's anniversary.

I'll take a photo of the baby blanket in daylight tomorrow MrsMad

Very jealous Neros we did Christmas at CP when DS was small. It was magical. He loved his trip to Santa's workshop.

Mrsmadevans · 12/11/2019 18:39

He's only titchy, flouncy. I did all the stitching bar the outline in a couple of hours last night.

Might fit in a little hoop with a hanging loop...

I've found a house I want to buy Grin here I think it would suit my needs right now. Shall I start a crowdfund? I'm not even being greedy, just want enough rooms and close to a town Grin

CrazyBaubles · 12/11/2019 20:29

Thank you for the cross stitch love, I'm surprisingly proud of it!

I know you said you can't shop 70 but having parcels delivered is good, especially if you order things over a day or 2 then get surprised by what turns up Xmas Grin

I've realised I haven't seen an M&S Christmas ad 😱 Will look on YouTube in a min.

Firefly what a cute robin! Turning him into a mini tree decoration would be lovely.

Wreck why have I never thought of pairing pigs in blankets with cottage pie? That sounds amazing!
Also, are you sure that house is big enough? Xmas Grin

I'm home after a late meeting and then staying on to do a bit extra tonight. I am sitting down and hammering out a craft list because I think somewhere along the line I've promised too many things to too many people and I need to alter patterns etc so I can actually get them all done 🙄

FireflyGirl · 12/11/2019 20:43

I love cross stitch, I love touching it.

That house has lots of space, Wreck. Not enough colour for me, though - and I'm not keen on the marble in the bathrooms. Just no pleasing me! Grin

WreckTangled · 12/11/2019 20:46

I don't like the bathroom but figure with all my riches I can change it Grin

And a swimming pool!

That's my ambition when I win the lottery - a swimming pool!

WreckTangled · 12/11/2019 21:19

Hmm I don't know. Maybe an indoor swimming pool. Seems like a lot of work to have an outdoor one when it's only warm a few weeks of the year.

Mrsmadevans · 12/11/2019 21:31

Firefly Girl that Robin is so sweet and l love the holly berries Smile
Nero, Nero faux snow ? It looks great , so although it isn't the real deal it reminds me of what the real stuff is like and I WANT IT preferably for Christmas! Xmas Grin
Wreck l love the outside of the house but it's too modern for me inside m'dear , l am an old fuddy duddy Hmm no hope for me Xmas Grin
Fanny yes please . l would love an advent style countdown to Christmas that would be amazing and l will love it thank you SmileFlowers
I bet you don't like the M & S ad l saw with Emma & Paddy, Crazy Grin
The jumper one is excellent tbf Smile
Have been watching Rylan doing his karyoke stint bless him but we are all agreed here that Dermot O'Leary had the hardest 24 hr challenge. I do love Dermot & Rylan equally so it is unbiased Grin
