Dust off your Christmas mojo, strap yourself in. We're at the business end of the Christmas countdown 2019. Thread 8

[NoWordForFluffy]

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!

I hope it isn’t the noro too. 3 schools near me where closed for a deep clean last week. I’d rather not pass it on to the kids either.

mrs enjoy your day off! I’d just pig out and watch Christmas films

Enjoy your day fluffy, minus the cold

wreck I don’t blame you, the weather is awful here. I’d rather not drag the little two out to do the school run but hey ho.

wreck I’m glad all went well. Hope you enjoyed your Maccies.

flouncy it is pretty, but it’s annoying when someone buys you something you won’t wear. My DGM always buys bracelets and I’m not a bracelet person. I like rings and necklaces but bracelets just don’t work for me (I have very tiny wrists so they just hang off me). I always feel so ungrateful!.

I keep thinking it’s Wednesday, I wish it was.

Afternoon everyone 😃
Thank you Fluffy and Nero &Jo have had a smashing time 🤗 went to our old favourite Cwmbran, had a bit of a shop think o have bought most of what l need now 😊
Hope you enjoy your lunch Fluffy it sounds lovely 😋😋
Not too bad here Fluffy the sun is shining and skies are blue 😄
Nero, you put your feet up and relax and watch some Christmas telly m'dear 💐🤗
Don't worry bout anything else just see to you and the little ones.
Wreck, good that you have seen the consultant, fingers crossed everything is going to be fine 🤞💐,thank you m'dear, l did enjoy myself 😄
Hope the DC don't get the bug 🤞
Fanny, lovely bracelet and DH is very sweet to get it you bless him 💓
I have to admit the Lurpak butter dish would be more my Pat of butter sts 😄
Best shift cuppa tea time 😋

Lunch was lovely. I had crab and chorizo spaghetti and a large glass of Pinot. I'm still stuffed though as I don't eat a large lunch normally!

Nero, I hope you just stayed warm and dry indoors.

It's warmer here now, thankfully. Earlier on was so cold!

Wreck, it sounds like you're getting somewhere, which is good. Is he still suffering?

Flouncy, that's a lovely bracelet. Has your DH gone soppy?!

Mrs, it sounds like you enjoyed your day off!

Yes fluffy. Well he has flare ups, on Saturday he was sobbing in pain and couldn't stand up straight. Prior to that he had been fine for a few weeks. Your lunch sounds great, I'm the same after a big lunch, would just want a nap!

Glad you had a good day mrs, and got most of what you need!

fluffy lunch sounds delish!!

I’ve just ordered some new towels and swimming cossies for the kids for Christmas. I’m all done them

Evening everyone
Not done anything since coming home but have eaten another few more of Dh's Lindt Advent calendar chocs l found it behind the sofa , he didn't hide it very well
Couldn't be bothered to cook much for tea so did a Pasta bake and it was lovely, just the job
It's bitter cold here , l have on a hoodie and a jumper and the heating has been on since 3pm , think l am tired that is why l am hungry ate the Lindt and cold.
Fluffy your lunch sounds gorgeous ! Glad you enjoyed yourself
Wreck, ahh your poor Ds, thank goodness you have been seen by the Cons now , hopefully he will be fine over Christmas, it is so upsetting for you, when they are crying in pain Bless
Jo, l shivered when l saw you have bought swimming cossies

Flouncy that bracelet is lovely.
Also, I would love a Lurpack toast rack to match my Lurpack butter dish

Jo fingers crossed you're feeling better.

Fluffy your lunch sounded lovely.

Wreck how baffling - they really have no idea what's going on to cause so much pain?

MrsMad it's bitter isn't it? I've been to visit friends in Blaenavon and my car froze over while it was parked outside 😱

Just home now. I have sewing to do, I'm hoping to finish both cushions for my friends tonight (doubt I'll manage it though).
On the plus side, I've had my hair cut today too (took about 5 inches off) and it feels all light and lovely 😊

Crazy I had five inches off my hair Monday too! They really don't know. His bloods were unremarkable and he's clinically well (92nd centile for height! 75th for weight).

I'm watching supervet. The practice isn't far from here and someone I went to school with works there.

Wreck, does pooing relieve the pain? My IBS sometimes wakes me at night, but - TMI - having a poo helps it.

I hope it's sorted soon, poor boy.

It didn't on Saturday but usually it helps, or it's wind. This time he had pain, had a normal poo then was in so much pain he couldn't stand and cried all the way home (40 minutes) but then felt better after a lie down. It's just horrible for him.

Crazy l am not a bit surprised your car froze over in Blaenavon, it is so high up it is like another world in the Winter
Great going with the crafting, well done on getting your hair cut too , great that you love it too !

My car iced over in the 2 hours between getting home from collecting DS and going back out at 6!!

Beautiful sunset tonight, but now there's freezing fog!

Your poor DS, Wreck!

Oh that's horrible for your Ds Wreck, love him
Beautiful Sunset Firefly, just lovely

I’m awake with awful trapped wind. I think it’s all just from my crap Christmas eating.

mrs ooh I love lindt chocolate! We only have Cadbury advent calendars here (I get to eat DS2’s chocolates). I hope you’ve warmed up now.

wreck I’m so sorry he’s in that much pain it’s awful when something’s wrong but they don’t know what it is.

firefly gorgeous sunset!

We had heavy fog tonight. It has made it a bit warmer though thankfully. Right I best get off, school run in the morning (although I do feel like giving up, I hate the last week of school as they do nothing and are all drained).

ONE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻

It's a bit chilly here too. I've not been out to see what it's like yet though!

Two more days at work. Wooooooo! (And arrrggghhhhh, as I have so much to do!)

Yes, I can confirm that it's cold and icy. I slipped a bit on my walk, so walked on the road for a bit instead (my area has little square slabs which are particular to where I live and they're lethal in cold weather!).

Flouncy, he's obviously happy you're feeling it this year! Which is lovely!

Crazy, when do you finish work? When do you go away? Are you driving up or flying / public transport? Did you manage to sort food plans out?

Wreck if it's intermittent it can't be something he eats regularly, I'd have thought. Have they mooted any ideas, bearing in mind the bloods didn't show gluten intolerance? FWIW, my IBS comes and goes and there don't seem to be any specific triggers overly. DH got a jar of salsa-type sauce which he cooked with which absolutely tipped me over the edge, it was awful. Something at lunch didn't agree with me either.

I hope you get to the bottom of it quickly as it's horrible for him.

My phone says 3° but cars look frozen.

I kept a foot and symptom diary for a month but there was nothing there. I think it's going to end up as IBS, like you fluffy, as there's nothing specific really. She doesn't think it's dairy but could be a gluten intolerance rather than coeliacs. We need to do a month dairy free and a month gluten free whilst doing the diary and see if it makes a difference but I'm going to wait until the sample has come back because if it's positive then there's no point really.

Fairly busy at work today. It's DH's birthday too.

Morning everyone 😀
Wreck my Mum has IBS , really well controlled with Mebeverine thankfully. She has difficulty with legumes , food with pips in and onions. Hope you find out soon 💐

Fluffy 2 days ! Whooo whooo😋😄🤶🎅👏
Wreck forgot to say Happy birthday to your DH 😄🌻🌼🥀🌈🎂🍥🍰🧁

Fanny , l will fight Crazy for the Lurpak toast rack 😂😂
Look what your DH has caused now with his being naice! 😂😂😂
Crazy am limbering up as we speak 😂
If only he had bought it for you like he should have 😂
I can hear your DH in my mind's eye saying ,
'lnfamy they have all got it infamy' 😂😂
So sorry l am having a moment here 😂🙄

Does anyone know what queen of three said? 🙄😂
I love Lindt choc Jo but it's not agreeing with me this morning, feel bloated and sluggish and I don't like it 🤪
Take it easy this morning 🤗
Best shift Mum to ring have a great day everyone 😀
