She's 2 Neros, and loves all things noisy, paw patrol and peppa pig - so far she has a book, choc coins, pjs and a peppa tea set.

I'm expecting some Merry posts from you fluffy

I'm tired just reading that Biddy

My team aren't in today so I have a stack of 'big' jobs that require concentration today. I've done 1 and now I'm procrastinating - I'll start the next one soon...

NerosFiddle · 15/12/2020 11:05

Biddy I got the RTÉ guide. They shave a lovely story this year about rabbits not being able to see their grandparents because of lockdown and how they'll make Christmas as special as they can for them.

Crazy my wee girl is 2 (although she'll be 3 on Friday). Peppa Pig - she has a big Peppa and George soft toy. And a few wooden toys. Ds loves paw patrol. He got a paw patroller for his birthday and from Santa he's getting a paw patrol tower and paw patrol Dino cars to add the collection of normal ones he's already got. Both are getting paw patrol bubbles in their stocking.

Has she got a 'toy' handbag crazy? It's not noisy. At the toy shop I would recommend the wooden toy food you cut up (cake or veg), a WOW toy, a small jellycat or a Dolly. She probably has many of those things though!

Morning everyone. Sunny morning here with no breeze, was thinking about going into town to try and finish things off, but my back is killing me! Have taken 2 Ibruprofen but hasn't touched the sides, may have to take out the big guns but tbh they don't always do anything either Sad

What about these Crazy

Don't know where I am with the days either Fluffy find myself just staring baffled into the fridge sometimes. Grin

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 15/12/2020 14:57

I quite often get to places - also the fridge, usually - and have no clue why I'm there! 🙄

DS got the cutting wooden veg at 2. They still play with it and use it as missiles now!

MarshmallowManiac · 15/12/2020 16:13

I wonder why the fridge Grin what madness!

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 15/12/2020 17:13

Talking of fridges, read this thread (Why put me onto it years ago!): www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/1355112-Has-my-fridge-found-religion

MarshmallowManiac · 15/12/2020 17:36

OMG so funny, maybe when we open the door it hypnotises us and makes us forget what we were doing Fluffy Grin that would make a lot of sense!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 15/12/2020 17:48

All these baffling fridges ...they want to be Christmas Fridges Xmas Grin

That self satisfied moment where you look into the chilly depths and it is stacked with your favourites foods and drinks .

I need clementine juice (rather than just orange)
Feta
Olives
Olives
M&S garlic bread (the oval ones)
There's a vegetarian lasagne in the freezer (that I'm smug about - obvs)

MarshmallowManiac · 15/12/2020 17:54

Yes 70 they want to be Christmas/Brexit fridges, stuffed to the rafters with cold meats, cheese and crackling pork. Its brother the cupboard is happy to be stuffed full of pasta, pesto and Princes tuna, lol what are we like??? Grin Grin

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 15/12/2020 19:38

Maybe the fridge light coming on is like the neuraliser in Men in Black? Wipes all memories away in a flash!

Tuesday is when my fridge gets stuffed to the gills. Exciting!

WreckTangled · 15/12/2020 19:42

I've started watching how to get away with murder and I can't stop watching it! Not very festive though...

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 15/12/2020 19:52

I've just looked in the downstairs loo and "D" S has put white toilet roll up , there are 3 ( three ) Christmas Loo Rolls to choose from.
The Snowman/M&S Festive/M&S Silver Star ........he picks plain white .

I have gone horribly horribly wrong somewhere and I may have to rehome him !

MarshmallowManiac · 15/12/2020 20:07

Haha yes that's what happened Fluffy Grin Grin

Feel very sad as could not find any Christmas toilet roll this year. Sad

CrazyBaubles · 15/12/2020 20:46

Thank you for the present suggestions. I'm going to look online now.
She has a wooden kitchen with lots of wooden food and is having an ice cream parlour for Christmas so I've crocheted her 2 ice cream cones.
Bubbles is definitely a good shout - they all love them.
Will look into all things paw patrol and peppa 🙄

Wreck I zoomed through HTGAWM - Viola Davies is amazing.
The West Wing isn't very festive either but I can't switch it off.

70 DH would have kittens if I bought Christmas toilet roll but as long as the move happens we'll have 2 loos and he's already said the upstairs one is all mine...

I'm so tired today I've ended up with a headache so I've just left DH downstairs. I'm putting washing out then I'll be jumping into bed, watching west wing, online shopping and crocheting tiny holly leaves for my snowman's hat..

WreckTangled · 15/12/2020 21:19

I've done 12 episodes today BlushGrin there seems to be a new Christmas film on Netflix too

MarshmallowManiac · 15/12/2020 21:24

Wrapping and watching Gavin & Stacey, how much better can it get? Grin

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 15/12/2020 22:09

I still love that thread Fluffy. I howled when I first read it.

My fridge is being filled on Sunday. Will Mr Fluffy be playing fridge jenga or you?

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 15/12/2020 22:10

70 I believe adoption is the only way forward for toilet roll crimes.

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 15/12/2020 22:11

A loo to yourself Crazy that is excellent.

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 15/12/2020 22:45

I am better at fridge-filling (and more logical as to grouping), so I'll do it, Why! Xmas Grin

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 16/12/2020 06:28

Contain yourselves....

9

WE ARE NOW - REALLY - INTO SINGLE FIGURES!

🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄

It's really windy here. It woke me up.

PussyCatInChristmasStockings · 16/12/2020 06:29

9 again
Welcome to dave-ja-vu-Wednesday 🤣
Couldn't sleep, so got up early.
We've only got 2 episodes of West Wing to go.😢
Crazy believe me, having a loo to yourself is amazing!

PussyCatInChristmasStockings · 16/12/2020 06:30

Something somewhere in the darkness blew over and woke me up.
No idea what, but I'll investigate in an hour or so.

CrazyBaubles · 16/12/2020 06:56

Morning. 9!! How on earth did that happen?

DH got up while Ddog was snoring, banged the bathroom door shut and woke DDog who clearly decided someone was breaking in and barked his head off 🙄

why & Stocking 'my' loo will be the main bathroom so it won't be 100% mine as it contains the only shower but not having him using my toilet will be lovely!

I'm led in bed. I managed a good 7 hour sleep but my headache hasn't gone away so I'll be forcing myself to drink lots of water and hoping that buggers off soon.
