Countdown to Christmas 2020 (Thread 11): The One with the Three Freezers

[NoWordForFluffy]

New thread again. Doesn't seem 5 minutes since the last one! 😂

Crazy hope your ankle is getting better
Wreck that sounds like heaven to me , enjoy! I hope your BS are under contro now lovely
Nero wonderful news your test was negative
Biddy l love Delia, she is my number one cook, followed by Jamie , then the two hairy bikers . I loved the two fat ladies too they were amazing
Fluffy don't blame you not running in this weather although it hasn't been too bad here today

Boot where are you ? Hope all is ok
Forgot to say , we popped to Tesco they have some lovely Christmas stuff in. Bought a Stollen, couldn't resist it

It's been biblical here. Almost as bad as any rain I've ever seen!

70, you'd love it here, it's wall-to-wall geese at this time of year. Sometimes you can barely hear yourself think, and it takes over 5 minutes for them all to pass overhead!

lots of geese here too, mind you there's no shortage of water about at the moment. Everywhere is flooded!

It's horrible having such awful rain Fluffy you can't do bgr all
Weather suposed to be good the next couple of days l do hope so

Mrs I bought stollen in Sainsbury's yesterday but I haven't tried it yet. I normally only like the one from Lidl.

I don't notice any geese here even though I live by a river.

How is it still only Tuesday? It feels like it's been going on for months.

I don't blame you Nero it's absolutely delicious
I normally buy Lidl's too! I have bought Lidl's Stollen bites but haven't seen the Lidl's Stollen yet, when l do l will get one or three

Mmmm stollen. I daren't buy it this early in the year - I'm the only one that eats it although last year I bought the bites and ate two then parcelled the rest up in twos and froze them (so I didn't eat them six at a time) 🐷

Enjoy your pamper session Wreck. Did your DS like his dressing gown?

Awful rain here too Fluffy. My weather app says it's dry tomorrow so I've got a wash ready to go out - the hot airer is up in the kitchen though

I've started on the first of three pairs of socks that I'm making for Christmas. This is a gents pair so is the biggest of the three but the other two pairs are for my DDs so I could technically take until Christmas Eve to finish them.

I made these fererro covers for my friend for her Christmas table. She says it will be the only sprout her DS will tolerate.

I love stollen too.

Woolly you knew I wouldn't be able to resist giving it to him didn't you?! He loves it thank you! He wanted to wear it to bed. Love the sprouts.

Phew for your result being negative Neros and agree about it somehow being Tuesday when it should clearly be at least Thursday!

Can you link / post a pic of the coat 70?
I spent a small fortune on 2 coats earlier this year (in the sale but still) so I'm determined not to buy more.

Thanks Mrs. I've never watched Delia. my mum loves her so I've always connected her to being a bit bored 😳

Woolly I've been using my heated airer like a heater in the spare room while I work

Love the sprouts!

No geese here unfortunately. Robins, blackbirds and squirrels but that's about it.
I'm shattered so going to bed soon.

🎄79🎄

Morning! I actually slept so I'm feeling better this morning. Going to log in to work early and finish early

Morning!

I ran today. A teeny bit slower than Monday and not quite as far, but I had to get up a hill with the wind in my face. Not pleasant. 😂

Now I need to get dressed as I've had my shower and my breakfast.

It's dry weather today and tomorrow. Breezy though, and it's from the north tomorrow! 🥶

I'm glad you're feeling better. A good sleep is amazing, isn't it?

Morning everyone 😀
Lovely sprout covers Woolly , you are so clever, thank you for making the socks 😘
Great idea to freeze the stollen bites l don't have chance here because Dd2 and DH both like it . I am swayed by the luxury ones too Tesco, Waitrose and Marks do a lovely one 😂 😋😋😋
Fluffy l love the sound of the geese flying, l watched a huge murder of crows flying off to roost yesterday 😀
Well done on getting the run In Too 😀
Crazy hope your ankle is feeling better. Glad you had a great sleep ❤️
Delia is my idol 😂 l am with your Mammy there Crazy 😀

Morning.

Crazy try Delia Christmas on YouTube.

I'm making an apple crumble at the minute but I've just noticed I've ran out of cinnamon.

Fluffy just one more week until the booths magazine!

Run out of cinnamon?! 😱😱 We have a critical mass of all 'Christmas' spices in our house!

It is, Neros. I'm too excited. And, in addition, I've been chosen by their research team to test a recipe kit, so we're collecting that on the same day. The excitement! 😂

I'm getting a book for @CrazyBaubles, @lachy and @pussycatinboots. Anybody else who needs / wants one needs to send me their address, as if I don't have an address before we go, I won't get one as it's a waste.

Morning all.
Been busy finishing off some cross stitch and starting another. Pics

Is it too early to consider fairy lights?

oh, and my bulbs are coming up already. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Anyone like to take a guess which ones?
Daffs, Narcissus, Tulips, Dwarf Tulips, Grape Hyacinth, Snowdrop or Crocus?

I'm liking your determination Crazy

Uphill and into the wind Fluffy -> 🥵 this would be my face

I'm lucky that I'm alone in my stollen love MrsMad. Lebkuchen is another story. Both DDs would sell their granny for a bag.

Flu jabs this afternoon and curry for dinner. Rock and roll 🤘🏻

Good morning, hope you are all well, I'm waiting on dd1s main present to arrive, she's asked for an ipad, I'm just so busy at the moment with work and football commitments for ds2 and dd1 I don't get the chance to post x

Nero Thanks for reminding me...I forgot to get any APPLES for my crumble. 🤦🏻‍♀️
I did remember to buy another half a dozen boxes of tissues to replace the ones I've used over the last few days.🤧

Lovely cross Stitch Boot glad you are. Fine & Dandy 😀
Snowdrops! 😀

I'll make a note and let you know. They'll probably be open by Halloween at this rate.

Good sleep changes everything Fluffy. I brought out what DH calls 'the big guns' to get - I went to bed early, no tv, hot choc then ear plugs and an eye mask and no cuddles

Any idea what recipe kit you're getting?

I'm saving Delia for this afternoon. I've got a bit of a mad morning so that's going to be my reward.

Amazing cross stitches puss!

And I know nothing about flowers so I'm going to guess grape Hyacinth because the name sounds interesting 😂

Woolly your day doesn't sound too bad. Flu jab sucks but at least you are able to get one! And curry tea always goes down well here - is it a takeaway or homemade?

I logged on at 7:30. Going to stop for breakfast now before a meeting at 9:30..

Bought Le buchen yesterday for Dd2 no one else likes it 🤮 😀 Woolly for her to consume in her own home 🏡 😔
Sad but wonderful all mixed up into a one 🤗
You have a packed day good thing you have your flu jab booked seems a lot of ppl are having trouble booking a slot 🙄

Ooh. I need to go to Wilko to check for Snowman loo roll. Has anybody been?

Boots, everything is looking good. I'm voting grape hyacinth. And mine will be coming up, so I need to get that area weeded to give them space. That's this weekend's job sorted!

How are you feeling now, Boots? Is DH annoying you?!

I thought I was going to die, Woolly! #dramaqueen I went steadily down some steps straight after for a brief break. (The hill is due to a bridge over the tracks, so I went down the steps to run alongside the track.)

Hi Cauli! Did you manage to get a bargain iPad at all?
