Countdown to Christmas 2020 (thread 8): those bendy yellow bastards!

[NoWordForFluffy]

New thread! 😁

why pity it's only 2 - if it was three you could plait them! 🙊🤦‍♀️

fluffy erm, do you know someone who needs a nipple wax? 😱😱😰
DO NOT use that Gorilla Tape stuff - it's painful to peel of a finger, so I would be really concerned about a nipple.

Have gone out for a walk and there is a definite autumnal feel, it is lovely :)

Thanks for the mug and key ring ideas, will definitely get those. Plan to order stuff once DS is in bed.

most I had a belt with my name on that I wore constantly at that age - and one with my star sign which opened up the night sky! personalised pens and pencils are always a winner aren't they? Coaster and cup for next to his bed?

I think my DS had a personalised wind up torch from eBay at about that age most

Woolly that's a cracking idea.

I've had a quick look most. The type I bought aren't on there any more but the do have a different type with a clip that goes on school bags etc. They do letter ones too if your DS has a name that isn't listed.

The BBC website are running a poll for people to vote for their favourite Christmas carols. You can vote up to three times - either for different carols or the same one and the results will be on Christmas songs of praise. Vote here

Woolly I gave two votes to Oh Holy Night and one vote to Silent Night.

@NoWordForFluffy

Oh yes. Carpet tape might work! It's very sticky and you'd get a free wax, if required, on removal.

And that's something to look forward to, Boots! 🙈

Fluffy some ppl l know have areola hair they'd be glad of it

Woolly 3 votes for Once In Royal David's City.
Christmas Eve with a mince pie a fridge freezer bursting at the seams and a glass of something and Carols from Kings...(and snow if anyone at the met office reads this)

Funny how we're voting for carols in a heatwave?! and DH want's to vote for Carol Kirkwood

I did O Holy Night and the Carol of the Bells. I'd like to see the results of the poll but I'm not sure they'd publish them beforehand if they are going to make a programme based on the top 10.

Shocked and saddened to see Saviours Day on the list I'm not a Cliff fan.

erm, that's not a carol.

OK, well in that case I'll have this:

and this: and one for DH

😎

3. Gabriel's Message (The Angel Gabriel from Heaven Came)
4. Hills of the North Rejoice
5. Jesus Christ The Apple Tree this makes me cry too
6. Mary Did You Know ...... Cry again!

10. Shepherd's Pipe Carol in no particular order My votes goes to Shepherd pipe carol, Sussex Carol, Carol of the bells but l love them all ahhh thank you Woolly

Voting was so hard as I love most of them! Gave one vote each to Hark the Herald Angels, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Joy to the World.

Have bought hot chocolate and marshmallows from Whittards for our Christmas Eve box, got Nectar points too :)

Excellent work there most
I think you have avoided the kick up the bum

@pussycatinboots

Boot I do love the Chris Rea driving home for Christmas and l always cry when he says 'l take a look at the driver next to me..... he's just the same' Dh is wondering why l am crying now

Woah....... hang on a min you are way in front of me Most bloody got hot choc already

Woolly l can't bear Cliff either , Dh thinks he is wonderful

I popped into home sense earlier and spent £75 I only went in for a frying pan ffs. Got a pumpkin spiced candle though 🍂 it's cloudy here today and warm but fresh. Still no rain and none forecast.

MrsMad I think it's the music and hair dye and the perma tan. He's nearly 80 ffs. I feel the same about other ageing pop stars. I like a silver fox. Martin Kemp has aged very nicely for example.

I am fully aware I'm a hypocrite as I'm not growing old gracefully.

£70 for a frying pan?! I knocked off a fiver for the candle

Woolly The Perma-toupe and easy-jet tan? Chills me to the bone tbh. V creepy trying to stay "20s" when your knocking 80..
(and bugger gracefully not sure I've ever done graceful, more elephant)

Thank You for the congratulations - DD finally got hr results - Distinction Star so well worth the wait (as was DD when I was sweltering 18 years ago )

I just skimmed backwards through the posts , intrigued and mind boggled by nipple piercings and Cliff Richard on the same page

I love Carol of the Bells but it was overplayed on QVC a few years back (they used in their Christmas adverts )

And I have to admit , I kinda like "Saviours Day" too (my grandparents were very excited to find songs like One Day at a Time by Lena Martell "in the Hit Pardade " , they'd have been tickled pink by Sir Cliff's festive offerings .

They'd combust at some lyrics now

Just had these delivered for Dd1 for Christmas 🎄 she has a penchant for Parker jotters and these are so pretty . So that is one down many to go 🙄😃
l am still reeling over the hot choc from Whittards that Most got , hurrumph , no competing with that amount of prep is there she's too cool fo school that gel 😁🤗

Bgr forgot the pens 😂🙄😁
