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!

Why it's dated , quite cheesy but very funny

In the current climate, I think most households have had their own version of Stir Crazy.

(Disclaimer - don't know what the show is actually about. Could be a CV themed Big Brother, or cooking programme...)

French knots Fluffy? I don't think I've ever successfully done one.

Thank you MrsMad. I'm feeling a little better but will be giving in and going to bed soon.

I don't know what Stir Crazy is Firefly

It's a filim

No idea what is going on but firefly's gnome in a mask sounds pretty cool even if it is not a thing 😂

I'm hungry again...

Usually, we eat tea at about 5.30-6, and then I don't eat again until breakfast the next day. I'm mentally inventorying the cupboards to decide what I can have for supper!

I'd go with toast, but Morrisons decided not to substitute my missing loaf with any other loaf of bread

I will have to look it up once I get some time to myself Mrs.

DH and I watched a film about Pearl Harbour called Midway this evening which was ok. Had Luke Evans in it which makes me 😊 as hes from the same place as me.

Crazy you are feeling so much better you said it thrice
Glad you are feeling better

lol I don't know what's going on, it keeps saying my posts won't load then they appear two or three times 🙄

Question for cross stitchers - wooden or plastic hoops? And what size would be large enough to work a decent chunk of pattern on but still be easy to hold?

I haven't been able to find a gnome in a mask, but there is a YouTube video on how to make a mask for your gnome...

Dh is starting to look for filims of a Sat night !
Saturday night at the movies

Ah that sucks Firefly. My choices are usually bread based in that situation. Do you have crackers and some cheese? Cereal maybe?

Firefly, those 'no sub' ones make me Like there was no other loaf in the shop. Nonsense!

Gnome in a mask? Not quite Snakes on a Plane for catchiness!

Is it some sort of fetish?

Oh, some nights I just need more food. I'd be upset with no bread though!

That is a right pita Fire FGS they could have put rolls in !

Crazy, bamboo for me. I find my 12 inch a bit big sometimes. I've got a 10 inch upstairs, but haven't used it yet. I must get it out.

Speaking of inches...that bloody Viagra ad is on again. I detest whimsicalling of songs!

I had cheese & onion sarnies tonight
My breath though

I got 12 inch hoops, Crazy, which are big enough allow me to work on a full section at a time of my pattern, but I wouldn't say they were easy to hold.

8 or 10 inch would have been better.

Plastic ones don't have the little screw to tighten them, so I find it easier to put the Aida on the plastic ones, but the wooden ones are usually cheaper.
