Countdown to Christmas 2020 (thread 9): Vibrating beds and tiny choppers!

[NoWordForFluffy]

Here we go. We're still a chatty bunch. We're going to knock any previous thread count into a cocked hat!

Go, go, go...

Ooh!! Looks like it misses us, thankfully. Famous last words; next stop: Oz!

I'm glad your DD is OK, Mrs. Kids love to scare their parents!

We were going to B&Q this morning for a new handle for the kitchen window, but I've checked on Amazon and it's £4 cheaper and you don't have to cut the spindle down

AHH thank youFluffy 🤗
Don't they join date 🙄😁

just! Not date ! 😂

Mrs have you been on the sherry already
Glad DD is feeling better today.

Well done, Boots. Saving time and money!

Morning. It's really dark here and it's absolutely pouring down. Next door have had the same set of washing on their line for 3 days. I don't get it - it's rained on and off the entire time (as per forecast) so they're never going to dry!

MrsMad this is why I don't tend to tell my mum I'm ill, she worries so much and always offers to come and look after me even though I'm 35 and I hate being looked after when I'm ill!

puss nice bargain hunting there unless you're like me and end up buying a few extra bits from amazon while you're on there

fluffy can't believe you're half way done on your cross stitch already. My Coo is agonisingly slow!

And a return journey to B&Q to take it back because it's broken, like the light fittings (smashed glass shade) and curtain pole (no fixings) I bought last year...and the replacement night latch for the front door (no keys) the year before...and the laminate flooring (water damaged).
I should claim my mileage back!

Crazy I need some more gutter brackets for the conservatory too - thanks for reminding me! One snapped last time it was windy so I've no more spares left

I will try really really hard not to buy something I don't need, honest!

We're forecast rain all day. Annoyingly I need to go out because I'm going to a friends for dinner and said I would bring a salad so need to buy some bits.

Amazon sells cross stitch kits, Boots!

Thank you.
My groaning credit card bill will show that I already knew that!
The "Chester Draws" where I keep my heap of not-yet-begun kits will also indicate that I've known it for a while...

Afternoon everyone.
Hope you are all well,and not blown over by the gusts of wind! Very happy today as 2 of my DD's A level grades were increased, she's over the moon. Hope all the A level students are as happy this morning in spite of Boris . We were promised lashings of rain today, but have only seen a spit while I was picking blackberries. Also discovered some blackcurrants and blueberries while I was there. Have sterilised my jars in readiness.
Mrs glad to hear your DD is fine, try and make sure that you have an easy day today to catch up

Mums eh Crazy can't say I would have been any different

Give in to it Boots embrace it it's inevitable

Hope your DD is OK mrs!

My stomach has been fine today, hallelujah :)

First of the Christmad shopping I ordered on Monday arrived today, feels good to have made a proper start.

Marshmallow is that someone’s garden or have you found all those berries growing wild together?
DHs blueberry bush has 1 berry on it (he doesn’t look after it at all, it’s been planted for 4 years, provides the birds with possibly 4 berries a year) 😂

How old are your dc? The A-level stuff has been all over the news but it's kind of passed me by as I've been focussed on the new job.

I've just put the laptop down. Going to do some washing / potching now..

Crazy it is in a nearby park. Never noticed them before, but today I went another way and ended up discovering them.
Oh no Crazy hopefully more will come on your DH's bush. My DC are 16, nearly 19 and 24. GCSE results tomorrow.

most good news about your stomach.

Crazy My Christmas Robin bedding is on the bed!!

Glad your Dd had good news Maniac ?
Thankfully Dd2 is better AB'S HAVE KICKED IN YAY!
Thank you everyone for your get well wishes for her much appreciated
Crazy l like a potch me and my Dh does
Most glad you are better
Fluffy weather has been atrocious here raining like it's never going to stop!
Boot l have not been at t'drink , l'm a good girl l am

Blueberries are exceptionally rare in the wild in the U.K. How lucky.

We're still dry for now, Mrs. It's set to rain overnight though.

Crazy, my bush is as productive as your DH's. Our poor bushes!

Good news about your stomach, Most.

Thank you Mrs, here's hoping for good news tomorrow for DS's GCSEs

Most great news about your stomach.

I couldn't believe it either Fluffy as never seen one in the wild before. hopefully they can go on my breakfast on in some muffins

Our poor bushes! 😱😂 Fluffy

Glad your Dd2 is feeling better MrsMad.

puss I'm jealous of your bedding. I've washed and put the Sainsbury's hare one back on. I absolutely can't get away with Christmas bedding. I think I've said before, DH asked for our bedroom to be Christmas free, like a sanctuary for him as I can overdo the rest of the house (nothing outrageous, just lights / ornaments and candles).

Tiredness hit me like a bus about 10 mins ago. All of a sudden I feel I can barely keep my eyes open so I've used the time to have a little think and I realised that I'll be able to decorate the spare room / my office this year as I'll be WFH . The idea of working away, in comfy clothes and thick socks, with fairy lights and Christmas music on has cheered me up.

Crazy you could get a reversible one and sneak it in upside-down/stealthily for Christmas Eve

Ooh that sounds lovely crazy!

So now there is blood when I wee, I hope I haven't managed to get a UTI now Will see how it is overnight and still bad will pop to pharmacy tomorrow

Maybe Crazy get him drunk turn it inside out, so only you know you are surrounded by Christmas [santa]
