Countdown to Christmas 2020 (thread 7): To buy or not to buy a Balsam Hill Christmas tree (AKA: Christmas in July)?!

[NoWordForFluffy]

I just noticed we only have 20 posts left and I'm off to the allotment! So here is thread 7!

Went for a cuppa to the Hummingbird cafe with my BF. She looked well , very busy there, it seemed as if it was normal tbh. No one wore masks because we were outside of course . We sat outside with everyone else and it was lovely and sunny . We enjoyed it

Just typed in ITV news Princess Beatrice wedding Mrs. I would look out for Hello/OK magazines in the next few weeks if you want some nice pictures. I like Fergie Mrs, she's just herself.
Glad you enjoyed your time with your friend

Firefly, that's why I paid for postage when I couldn't get hold on my inlaws (they were at church!). It's still a bargain even with postage.

DD is at school today and DS went yesterday. It was much quieter in the house yesterday, DS doesn't stop talking! 😂😂

Most, postnatal care is so often awful!

The neighbours are rubbish Fluffy but the parking wars here today have been entertaining as both neighbours doing work have workmen in so on a street with no spare parking we have 4 big vans. They've blocked driveways / taken peoples parking spaces and people are not happy, particularly little miss street monitor. She asked the builder to move so she could park her car (not in her own space mind you, but the one she has unofficially adopted from the only neighbour who has 1 car and 2 spaces) and was mightily pissed off when he said no 😂

I've never done the post natal ward obviously but when I was in hospital years ago, I had been very unwell and couldn't walk for than a few steps. The dietician kept telling me off for not eating but the nurses didn't consider bringing me food and I could walk as far as the food trolley. DH (boyfriend back then) was furious. He started bringing a days worth of food in on his visits.

MrsMad I'm glad the wedding went ahead. I think the girls seem nice, particularly considering the embarrassment their parents have been.

Not a fan of Fergie though to be honest. I don't think she means to but she just comes across as a bit grabby to me.

The workmen banging / drilling seems to have stopped for now. I'm killing time until I can clock off - 31 minutes to go and it's dragging so much!

@CrazyBaubles

Fluffy similar issue here - I zone out completely and it drives DH nuts but he does the same with his phone

Have a lovely last day most

Is it bad that DH is going to
end of term drinks (outdoors) after work today and I'm excited because I can watch something murderous on tv and cross stitch without feeling like I'm being a bit of a rubbish wife?

No! That's normal

@whydoesitalwayshappentome

Mrs I nearly fell out of bed laughing at the idea of Fluffy being Julie Andrews!! The stories I could tell you 😂

Ahhgowangowan you could just drop the odd one in now and again to keep her on her toes

Fergie is a massive grabby bint Fluffy l think she has awful control over her money . Very generous they say she buys presents for everyone. Nowt wrong wi that s'long as you have got the money to spend.

Still cannot find it Maniac

The children in the street have written in chalk something on the road but we can't dischipher it for love nor money is there something to do with chalk going on in school or something? I realise it muight say
'keep yer nose out of our Business Mrs! '

We have a tip run booked this afternoon, Dh is busy cutting anything down he can get his shears too. We came home from the cafe & l noticed he has desecrated the heather !

fluffy I can't believe your DS wasn't impressed with LIVE shuttle launches and it was o ring failure due to temperature

PATIENT MEAT?? WTF?
Last time I was in hospital and I bloody paid £1500 for it I got a yoghurt! DH managed a 3 course meal while I was in surgery, nice for some

Mrs I thought you'd hidden all the sharp garden tools from him after last time?

www.itv.com/news/2020-07-17/princess-beatrice-marries-edoardo-mapelli-mozzi-in-secret-ceremony Don't think they are releasing any more pictures until tomorrow, be patient Mrs

but not patient meat eh? 🤣🤣🤣😲

Thank you Maniac l can't see any ics of them together . I will have to stalk FB to find them lol
Boot l did but he snuck out while l wan't looking

Ahh this explains it! What good sports they are
'A photo of the couple will not be released until Saturday, as they do not wish to overshadow Sir Captain Tom Moore being knighted.'

My BF just told me she bought a bike from Facebook from China. This afternoon she had a delivery of fake Raybans from the seller 7 not the bike she was expecting . She paid by credit card so she's not out of pocket thankfully

Biddy ! Good to see you here , as busy as always ! l hope you have a lovely week off next week

Urgh I am very hopeful that I won't be admitted to the ward and they send me home same day... As long as I feel ok and baby is fine I will push for it - my trust are trying to get people home same day if possible, but I have put in my birth plan I would rather be sent home ASAP... Or get a private room if one is available 😬 don't know how cheeky that is but if you don't ask you don't get in my opinion!

The surrender of lease docs are all with the land registry now - apparently if an application is delaying a house sale then the process is fast tracked but as I don't know what the timescales are initially it dosn't really help me much... I am so fed up of living in limbo 😭 I just want to move now

I am freeeeeee!!!

no not patient meat Boots
