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!

Woolly OK, I've tapped it whilst upside down (the laptop not me) and the biggest offending crumb has dislodged 🍾 and fallen into a cat 🤦🏻‍♀️ - so much for Charlies diet
You can get malted milks with chocolate on the top - they're on my list for Sains on Thursday
I know what you mean about the table - our coffee table is the same and DH hoovers it every few days!

I love the advice - once opened store...like they will last long enough to make it to the biscuit tin 🤯

This is the first review on the sains website

"A surprising candidate for best biscuit
The only biscuit I ever want again. Literally perfect. With a brew... Without a brew... Snack... A pack for a meal ... Utterly love them."

🤣🤣

OMG Boots choc malted milk, I've died and gone to Heaven

We used to have a table with stupid grooves in Woolly, I was forever getting crap out of them, totally feel your pain Have now invested in a tablecloth and a different table and all's right with the world!

I've never used Park either. We use up whatever nectar and Clubcard points we have but don't save them specifically. We use a bonus payment I get each October for ours and top up if need be.

How do you make your spreadsheets look pretty Wreck?
I always make my font navy blue but that's about it.

puss MIL has a cockerel that's a right pain in the arse. Not quite sure how it hasn't 'gone missing' yet tbh - you have my sympathy.

Thank you for the reminder Fluffy - I've just set up my new Fitbit (it's not new, it's a hand-me-down). Will see how I get on with it.

puss I turn my keyboard on it's front and make a racket bang it against the desk. What comes out sometimes makes me 🤢
The biscuit review is the most MN thing I've seen in a while 😂

I'm alive! My head is hurting and I'm very tired but that's ok. I've done my walk, quit my attempt at Pilates for today and had a teeny tiny nap.
Will cross stitch for an hour then fall into bed

Crazy we used to use our bonus payment to buy pressies too but then DH's firm has stopped the bonus how kind of them

Crazy I'm drinking beer and watching the game. DH is happy as Chelsea are 1 up...

Woolly, you need something like this, then it's much lighter than a laptop!

Woah, Wreck! Almond flour is so expensive! Are cakes a rare treat?!

Boots, the biscuits sound amazing! Great review too. 😂

Oh, Nectar points, Boots? £139.89 with 21 points pending for tomorrow!

I'm cross stitching now too.

I think we ought to do a group test of them...for scientific purposed, obvs

purposes ffs. I'm typing in the dark

Have you seen the new TV ad for Viagra?
It uses the Proclaimers "500 miles" as a soundtrack, but in a slowed down, soft John Lewis Christmas Ad way.

I don't really like malted milks. Or milk chocolate biscuits. Apart from caramel digestives. Otherwise it's dark chocolate digestives, bourbons, dark chocolate leibniz or Jaffa cakes

Crazy I have many different fill colours for different areas, can do a traffic light system if needed. Decent grid lines, sorting everything into a-z, prioritising which columns go first, ensuring they're all formatted correctly (because apparently no one else in my team can do this) so many things I've yet to discover too!

Fluffy I don't make them that often as I also need sweetener which is ££££ I prefer to keep it for low carb pizza base and am attempting wraps tomorrow if I get a chance.

Well Bugger me , where am l ? All these new peeps and Fluffy and her quadrupled posts
Thank you Boot l will have a glass of Mother's ruin off to youtube the Viagra tablet AD discreetly as don't want Dh to get ideas
Fluffy l do need new groundworks as it happens

Chicken dinner sounds nice Boot

Wreck I had an interview once and there was a test included to set up a spreadsheet which included a "calculate a target date" column - eg. 14 days after the given date. I hadn't a clue, but "help" was very useful and I did it with 10 mins to spare

I have never used Park either I'm afraid. I have £1.01 in Nectar points currently 😂

Ooh chocolate malted milks!

Have worked hard on my cross stitch not that you would know it, it's going to take me a long time to do! Will post a pic tomorrow :)

Mrs I'm not peeling a cockrell!

All this talk of biscuits, and no-one has mentioned the god of all biscuits chocolate hobnobs

We don't watch terrestrial TV, so no ads. Do I need to YouTube the ad, boots?

Enjoy your MrsM, you deserve it!

hmm, beer must be working
Cockerel 🐓

most how's the sky, erm...sea...bugger... snow topped roof I tried to do some white on a white background the other day - snow blindness is a thing!

I'm now stitching the Queen Mary - well, I was until it went dark and my eyes went 😵

Is that ad for Viagra?! 😱 Because I don't wear my glasses while cross stitching I couldn't see what it was.

On a side note, I detest the whimsicalling (made up word) of so many bloody songs!

Most, are you signed up to the extra weekly bonus Nectar points? You need the app to join in!

Firefly not really, it was just a lovely gentle version of a fab song that made me think of Christmas

Choc hobnobs are amazing, but the malted milk fit in my mugand mouth better
