[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...

Morning everyone 😀

Woolly l love your door and wreath it's so beautiful 😍
Nero have not heard of that film l will look out for it 🤗
I don't think l know that one Wreck l will look out for it 😃
Hav a lovely day everyone 😃

Have been food shopping and need to go and see my mum this afternoon. I'm so tired. Also disappointed I didn't win the euro millions but looks like no one did.

I'm not quite sure what happened with my internet browsing last night. I like the idea of Christmas bedding and if I lived on my own, I'd probably add a cushion and possibly some fairy lights but the bedrooms I found were a bit much.

70 I love the idea of being snowed in somewhere cosy - hasn't happened yet although I have been snowed in at home once or twice.

Fingers crossed for lots of apples next year Constantly

Are you back from the rabbit hole Neros? I've just started 12 Dates of Christmas - I'm at the beginning of the date. The version of 12 days of Christmas they keep playing is awful 

Can you imagine winning that much money Wreck? I'd be in a first class plane seat the following day and probably wouldn't come home for months.

I've been to my Mams for a visit. I was a bit disappointed, she left my teapot in her car which my dad has taken for the day

Home now & watching the film. Going to walk the dog, sort out more laundry and tidy the spare room / my office later.

Crazy I'd be on a private jet to a secluded location for a week to decide how best to use my winnings that's a shame about the teapot.

Dh went out last night and hasn't moved from the sofa all day. I'm not impressed.

I have a plan for if I ever win Wreck. Go away and travel for a few months. Buy a bungalow for dsis incase nephew isn't able to walk. Buy smallholding for DH & I. Buy new cars all around. Write a lot of cheques to people who I like / have helped me. Pay off mortgages for ILs and parents. Lots of holidays, and extended amount of time (inc Christmas) in Canada, somewhere snowy. Personal trainer / dietician. Private fertility treatment. Not that I've thought about it much 😂

Is your DH up and being useful yet? If not, surely that means you get tomorrow off?

Neros my crush was still there. Film finished a while ago and isn't great but ah, he just seems so lovely 🥰

Afternoon everyone
Have been to Mum & Bob's , Mum asked me to leave the 'You' section of her Sunday Mail at her home in Crickhowell for my sister to have withut my Mum seeing it . I went nuts. ' l said she can fin well buy her own fin paper or she can come up here and visit you and get it from you' .
I fell fr it again l must stop doing this but l had just come in with a black bag full of washing with at least 3 washing loads of bedding in it from changing their beds. I thought what a cheek there's me with all this work and she waves her little finger and my Mum wants us to bow down to her . I know what it is though , it's like she is poking me to get me to lose it. l could kick myself , l should have just said yes of course and not done it. l'm such an idiot.
Wreck your poor Dh he must be feeling hungover
If l won I would pay someone to do all my meals and the cleaning and to drive me everywhere and to go on holiday to my own holiday home in Tenby. l would have a pad in London right it in the heart , ohhh l would love that

We're going away tomorrow which is why things need doing today. I've been gone almost three hours and all I can see that he's done is clean the bathroom

Wreck he's probably feeling quite rough still 😂 Are you going somewhere nice? Hope you have a lovely time 😁

Yes mrs the hotel we booked! I'm pretty excited and I thought the dc would be distraught when we told them, as they hate us going away, but they were fine about it.

Crazy, I have made plans too. Detailed ones. Shame we'll never win! 😩

Wreck, enjoy your night away tomorrow. I'm sorry your DH has been mostly a waste of space today. Not helpful.

I've been to the allotment and harvested for 4 hours. Tomorrow is weeding day!

I'm drowning in runner beans. I think I need to start distributing them round everyone I know. And people I don't! 😂😂

I got a nice haul of spuds, loads of sweetcorn and baby corn, peas, leeks, rhubarb, blackberries, parsnips, plus green / fine / dwarf beans and the many, many runner beans!

Ooh lovely sweetcorn Fluffy I used to get unreasonably excited to see sweetcorn-in-leaf in our local market ( usuallly 3/£1) our guinea-pigs loved them.

I have no guinea-pigs now and sweetcorn gets stuck in my teeth

I noticed on Wednesday the amount of autumn leaves when I went to the carpark at work. My own garden is overgrown with green after all the rain. Need to tie up the Virginia Creeper and cut back all the overhanging branches .

I have the Lakeland Limited Atumn Catalogue (paper copy not virtual) to browse through and think about soup (which I do make) and jam ( which I don't)

@WreckTangled

Ohh exciting Wreck have a wonderful time Fluffy that haul is fantastic you must be OTM! 70 Lakeland Limited Autumn Catalogue sounds just up my street enjoy!

Count me I. I’m jumping for joy brought mil present down from 250 to 60 quid I grabbed it, I’m thrilled it’s 10 silk masks for her, she has very sensitive skin, we have discussed this so not an unwanted present. But to get such a wonderful price for it, I’m so happy from Lilysilk, as for me dh has said I’m having the away kit for Liverpool this year, love the colours. Lots of carols and faith stuff as well.

Are you. Salesperson for this brand ?

No sorry if I’ve offended, I’m just a customer, but won’t mention again.

Worst nights sleep ever. I'm annoyed because I don't want to spend today tired. I already had a crap nights sleep Friday night and tonight will be a late night too.

Morning!

We had so much rain yesterday evening; it absolutely bucketed down. The allotment was already really wet quite deep down, so I may be swimming today (some plots have flooded, though mine isn't one that floods first).

@Holothane, I think you possibly meant to post in the bargain thread maybe?

Wreck, sorry about the shit sleep. It's always when you can least deal with it that it happens, isn't it?

Morning.

I've had an order come this morning and he was here early. Everyone was still in their pjs. Aw well I'm sure they've seen worse.

Crazy did you enjoy the film? It's one of my favourite cheesy/hallmark kind of ones. But you're right that song does go through you.

It's still really humid here. It's affecting my sleep no end. Can't we be in October yet?!

If you are watching the Touring Cars on ITV4 you will see the weather we have...☔☔☔
NDNs cat has had tuna for lunch. He's a hungry little soul.
Nero I agree with you, we should skip September and head straight into October
Wreck hope you're still awake.

124 thankyou I was so upset about it I was just happy at present bought for my beloved mil, they are the parents I never had feel much better now thankyou.🤗😊

I’ve just put autumn bedding on I love this time next three months the run up to Christmas, started my shopping list, not going mad this year, just little luxuries.

I think lots of us will be doing the same @Holothane My children are older and apart from a family get together we won't be missing out on too much if we aren't able to have the usual Christmas things. I'll miss the school carol concert too but we are long past the days of nativity plays and pantomimes.

Next on my list of things to buy food wise is a tin of treacle. I'll be making at least 3 small Christmas cakes. I've already bought some dried fruit but I think I'm going to need some more especially if I'm going to make some Christmas puddings and mincemeat too. I've still got a bit of mincemeat left over from last year but I used a recipe that called for butter instead of suet so I don't think it will have kept. I've got icing sugar and a tub of cocoa powder so I'm all set for the chocolate log.

Oh wow I can’t cook now but last year we had tiny gift cakes from Morrison’s, is that allowed and we loved them, it’s keeping me going this planning and dreaming I’ll miss midnight mass though my first last year I loved it. 😊💐

Afternoon everyone, l am watching a recorded film from Talking Pictures The Cat and the Canary love it!
Weather isn't too bad here atm , spitting a bit of rain but ok really

Signal poor so haven't caught up but just posting to say how lovely Tenby is, I know where I wkll be retiring to!
