Morning!

New thread for the new day. Temperature is starting to drop again and it's going to be rather chilly for the weekend and the start of December!

Let's see if we need thread 9 or not! Xmas Grin

wreck did you enjoy the new grinch?

WreckTangled · 11/12/2019 19:08

Yes! I didn't think I would but I really did. We all did.

JoGose · 11/12/2019 19:14

Oh that’s good! We love the old grinch so I wasn’t sure whether it would ruin it for us, but I’ll add that to the list of what to watch tomorrow.

FireflyGirl · 11/12/2019 20:13

I enjoyed Klaus. I watched it by myself Crown Blush, to make sure it was suitable for DS. He's a sensitive child.

DS did really well in his nativity, they all did. They'd obviously been working very hard, very few prompts needed, lots of enthusiastic singing particularly by one of the stars, who is tone deaf Crown Grin DS is so proud of himself!

Congratulations to your DD, Woolly!

How was your concert, Fluffy?

JoGose · 11/12/2019 20:41

firefly DD1 is quite sensitive, will it be okay for her? I’m glad your DS did well in his nativityXmas Smile

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 11/12/2019 20:51

It was lovely, Firefly. It was based around Strictly! Xmas Grin DD had 4 lines and did so well. ❤️❤️❤️

I'm glad your DS did well too.

WreckTangled · 11/12/2019 20:53

Oh fluffy we had one based around strictly a couple of years ago. I wonder if it was the same one

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 11/12/2019 20:58

It was 'Lights, Camel, Action'. I think they're sold far and wide, aren't they?

WreckTangled · 11/12/2019 21:02

I'll have to ask dd in the morning she will remember.

JoGose · 11/12/2019 21:05

fluffy I’m glad your DD did well, that sounds great!.

NerosFiddle · 11/12/2019 21:15

Evening all.

It's been a hectic few days. I hope everyone is well. It's lovely reading about all the nativities. I can't wait for DS to have one next year.

I'm watching the Gavin and Stacey special now.

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 11/12/2019 21:17

Wreck, there were 3 judges: a donkey, the innkeeper's wife and Caesar Augustus (Craig Revell-Horwood!), if that helps?!

Mrsmadevans · 11/12/2019 21:24

I've somehow awakened an old whiplash injury in my back. It's painful just breathing and I feel like I need a hard massage to sort it out.

Mrsmadevans · 11/12/2019 21:31

Morning peeps .
13 days Xmas Shock

I think the feeling of panic is creeping in now ....... thinking for weeks "Oh , plenty of time" then " blardy hell, less than a fortnight! "

I have some decoration up and lots of battery tealights on timers ( safer all round , if less pretty than a real flame )

My DC used to get a day off when there was an election , their Primary/Junior school was shut .
Now they're pouting because their 6th Form and University are unaffected Xmas Grin
DS can vote today -right of passage for him.

FireflyGirl · 12/12/2019 07:06

Welcome back, MrsM.

Well done to your DD, Fluffy.

Flouncy is right, Wreck. Keep moving it, otherwise you'll get worse. Here's hoping it eases soon.

We had 3 innkeepers' wives - one of them was awesome. She absolutely belted her lines out, but at least you could hear her! And at least one of the innkeepers, and Joseph, were definitely under the thumb Crown Grin

Our show was 'I'm gonna shine'. DS really wanted to be Gloria, the star...

My boss has agreed that I can work from home today, ready for round two this afternoon with DMIL!

FireflyGirl · 12/12/2019 07:08

Round two of the nativity, just to clarify.

DMIL and I get on really well, no fisticuffs particularly as she's bringing the cauliflower cheese for Christmas dinner Crown Grin

WreckTangled · 12/12/2019 07:18

My back feels a bit better this morning luckily.

Going to vote before I get the dc on the bus if I have time get it over with.

Mrsmadevans · 12/12/2019 07:27

Crazy love your little bear he's gorgeous ❤️
Fanny . 'Sandra' 😂😂😂

ConstantlyCooking · 12/12/2019 07:39

Good morning all. I tried to vote on the way to work but having waited for 10 min (and missed the fast train) I decided to vote on my way home instead.
Hearing about The Nativities and Christmas shows has brought back lovely memories. DC are too old now, so I went to a lovely carol service with friends last night. Hopefully, I will manage a second service at my local church as well.
