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

Wow, Mrs, that's a day that would put Biddy to shame!

We're on a weirdly-quiet train home. It's almost-deserted. Odd!

Flouncy, did you kick her out yet?!

Everyone’s gone now and we’re getting ready for bed!. I can’t wait for tomorrow, it’s my absolute favourite day of the year

EmrysAtticus · 23/12/2019 18:53

What a busy day Mrs!

M&S was actually fine, a little busier than usual but nothing crazy. We got what we wanted so apart from picking up a loaf of bread tomorrow we are in hibernation mode. Only plan for tomorrow is the Christingle.

Mrsmadevans · 23/12/2019 19:18

I have been a busy girl l will go to the ball Xmas Grin
The shops were busy but not unreasonable, l will be doing this again Smile
Bought Mum a naice skirt in the last minute shop in EWM , l had a bargain half price £14 instead of £28. I took it up and she loved it so she has got it on Smile, l don't wrap clothes presents because l have to try them on her, in case l have to take them back .

Mrsmadevans · 23/12/2019 19:20

Hello! I've just got into bed. I forgot to pack any underwear! So I've got to go to Tesco tomorrow to get some Xmas Blush

Took ages to get here but it's brilliant and I've been in the hot tub. Also cooked dinner for 22 people but I'm pleased that's done as now I feel I don't have to do anything else Crown Grin

Mrsmadevans · 23/12/2019 23:25

It's CHRISTMAS EVE!
Slinks off thread feeling guilty about announcing the big day without being a regular this year!

ConstantlyCooking · 24/12/2019 00:05

Just chilli jam to make, cake to ice and presents to wrap plus shop for fresh bits left to do now.

Morning!

I'm just getting up to go shopping. Yay!

EmrysAtticus · 24/12/2019 05:56

Happy Christmas Eve all :) Enjoy Wreck!

Can't wait for the Christingle later, one of my favourite parts of Christmas is when the candles are lit and the lights in the church go off and we sing a carol.

JoGose · 24/12/2019 06:00

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!!

BiddyPop · 24/12/2019 08:17

Happy Christmas Eve!!
Glad to see you got home Nero’s.
Hope everyone’s shopping and prepping is al(most) done and we can all’s tart to enjoy the fruits of those labours!!

I am on my way to work (have to appear, will disappear fast too Xmas Grin ). Going to M&S en route to see if they have a free range turkey - DH a bit miffed with what I got so if I get a better one, I’ll give the original to local priest as he’d know someone who can use it. And if I don’t, we have the original ourselves.

Dd still asleep when I left as we went out to watch the new Star Wars last night. It was ok, but not the best SW movie - surreal seeing both Carrie Fisher and the Wookie as both have died since. Will try to get back in time for her swim in the sea later (chilly, definitely not for me this year!!)

The only other thing I have to get today is a present for DH - I think a nice jumper and arrange a weekend or night away while dd is at her tournament.

Have a great day everyone

MargotMouse · 24/12/2019 09:01

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I name-change regularly but I’ve been on this thread under a few different names this year, and just want to say how lovely it has been to share my enthusiasm for Christmas with you since late summer! Have a wonderful time Xmas Smile

WreckTangled · 24/12/2019 09:28

Went to Tesco at 6:45 this morning for pants and socks. It was dead! Not like round where I live Xmas Grin

Was it just your underwear you forgot, or everyone's, Wreck?! Xmas Grin

I have my shopping all put away. I've just started with the ham on the stove and now I'm considering which baking to do first.
