Countdown to Christmas 2020 (Thread 12): the one where all of the GHs have finally arrived!

[NoWordForFluffy]

Evening!

New thread here. Probably not needed until tomorrow, but it's ready and waiting.

Don't forget: Booths' Christmas ordering goes live tomorrow, so food porn will be online to view!

Boots, get your Cumberland PiB ordered!

Oh, and the worst thing was that I woke up a few times from about 3.30 onwards and I went straight back into the dream when I nodded off again. 🤦‍♀️

Woolly your DD has got the right idea!🍾

And you still didn't fathom out if it was boy/girl/other?😂

Nope. Unborn = unknown in this house! It was a baby. (Maybe; given the quality of the dream, 'other' may be more accurate!)

Woolly there's a couple of houses near me that already have their outside lights up. So far, I think I'm the only nutter one with a tree up.🎄

Have you baubled yet Boots?

No lights up here. None of my friends have trees up yet either. Our tree will go up around the 12th, we're booked for Kew that day though but who knows, might get my dad to drop it round on the 11th to surprise the dc when they get home. That way dh won't have to have his annual strop putting it in the tree stand dad can instead

What I like to do though is have the window lights, some room decorations, the advent calendars and Christmas mugs down and out as a surprise on the morning of the 1st December. I've got the Christmas puzzle plus a gingerbread house kit too so that'll be nice.

I would put lights outside now if I had any. So nice to look at in the dark evenings.

Yup. I'm all baubled out! I was assisted by the cats...

We went to the next village this afternoon, which is bigger than ours, and there were a few houses with their outdoor lights on, and I'm sure I could see tree lights in a couple more.

DS would love ours up, but I'm worried he'll start thinking it's nearly Christmas, and then it'll seem like aaaaaages before it is Christmas. It's two weeks before we can even start advent calendars!

There's loads round here with the decs up. One house has been up since august. Though that's for charity.

There's quite a bit of bauble glitter left in the box.🤔
I might need to invest in some replacements next year or next month if I get bored 🎄

This is the house

I've ordered these from a site called 'Weeklydeals4less' for £3. They've been dispatched, so hopefully arrive in the next couple of days and I'll see if they're any good. I might put them up, along with the werChristmas tree lights, when they arrive and I get 10 minutes without DD attached to my boobs!

I weighed DD today, and she's just under 4kg, so she's put on about 800g (nearly 2lb in old money) in just over 3 weeks! No wonder my boobs are sore!!

Firefly they're really pretty. My two would rip them off the windows and gnaw them.😹

I've got Nigella on in the background, for DH mainly 🤔.
She's just taught me how to butter toast...
🤯

You mean butter toast suggestively, surely boots

...and sprinkling the toast with sea salt.

He's been watching her kneed bread too...

fluffy has your KitchenAid got a hammered bowl?

Great weight gain, Firefly! Though seeing you mentioning your sore boobs and Boots referring to gnawing in the next post brought back awful BFing memories! 😱😂

fluffy TMI!

I am laid face down in in a warm bath to soothe said boobs while DD has cuddles with DH. RCat is keeping me company...
