Crazy we attach it with string and then wrap the string around the handle on the inside of the door. If that makes sense

NerosFiddle · 24/06/2021 08:34

Most I am also jealous of your LoD day. I might try and watch the whole thing again.

Fluffy is it just Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone?

NoWordForFluffy · 24/06/2021 08:37

I got her the whole series, Neros. She's got plenty of reading ahead of her! 😁

We have a wooden front door with handy knocker on the letterbox, so I don't know, Crazy. How many 🎄🎄🎄 will you have?

TheWoollybacksWife · 24/06/2021 08:41

Crazy I would suggest either a command hook or use two long pieces of ribbon attached at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock points of your wreath. Feed the 12 o'clock one over your door and the 6 o'clock one through your letterbox and tie then tightly on the inside of your door.

Obviously the command hook option does not require you to have three hands to allow you to juggle two pieces of ribbon whilst holding a wreath in place.

End of series 2 crazy. We have a modern composite door and the metal hook still works.

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 24/06/2021 09:02

Tipped it down on me on the school run so now I have a blanket, a cat, a cross stitch, LoD and chocolate gingers :)

Morning.
Woke up at 7.30 Shock so I think I may have caught up on the 2 x 4am starts. Grin
Only problem is my right eye/sinus is aching and I could do with a darned good sneeze 🤧 to clear it or possible a big slice of cake Grin

Having looked at the weather and seeing it was dry till this evening I was pleased that my washing would probably dry. I looked out of the window and it had just started raining. Sigh.

MissingMo · 24/06/2021 10:38

Hello! May I join? You seem a friendly bunch with lots of positivity!

CrazyBaubles · 24/06/2021 10:48

Thank you all for the wreath help! I think I'll try the hanger thing first (I'm not sure why, I just assumed I wouldn't be able to use it). If that's no good we'll start working through the other suggestions!

Fluffy I hope your dd enjoys the books. I am a fan - it's great for no concentration, cosy evening reading.

Plan is to have 2 big trees (one outside, one in conservatory), the white twiggy tree and the ceramic one in the living room and my tiny 2ft pre-lit tree in the hallway Xmas Grin

DH and I were in the garden yesterday (new garden table and bird feeding table were being put together) and we were talking about the shed we're need to buy. I said "you know you said I can have whatever I want for Christmas decs this year...?" And he rolled his eyes and said he knows, I'm going to put lights on the outside of his shed - Spot on, that's exactly what I was thinking! 😂

Ooh season too is a great most - definitely think you're having the best day out of all of us!

Welcome missing 👋

Also, FYI...

pussycatlickinglollyices · 24/06/2021 11:13

Oh well...if you're he's having a new shed, that will definitely need a wreath on the door! 😉 🎄

pussycatlickinglollyices · 24/06/2021 11:16

Would it be appropriate to do a mini Christmas lunch tomorrow, do you think? Seeing as we're half-way there. 🎄
I'll do Chicken, not Turkey, but can still do stuffing, pigs, roasters etc.

NerosFiddle · 24/06/2021 11:32

Puss what time will arrive at? 😀

NoWordForFluffy · 24/06/2021 11:50

I'm in too, Puss!

CrazyBaubles · 24/06/2021 12:03

You may need to do a Turkey puss, not even the famous MN chicken will be able to feed all of us! Xmas Grin

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 24/06/2021 12:21

I will be there.

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 24/06/2021 12:52

I am definitely in for a Christmas lunch tomorrow.

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 24/06/2021 12:58

Onto series 3 of LoD, it really is very good.

pussycatlickinglollyices · 24/06/2021 13:40

Shall we say 1pm for Lunch and drinkies (rose and beer chillin in the fridge)...followed by a nap. 🤭
DH can do the washing up

Another couple of weeks and we could use my crop of 🥔 and 🥕

NoWordForFluffy · 24/06/2021 16:55

Count me in!! 😋

lachy · 24/06/2021 16:58

I'm in! Might be a Christmas sandwich though...Chicken and stuffing with cranberry sauce. mmmmm

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 24/06/2021 18:41

Christmas lunch with a nap! Perfect

CrazyBaubles · 24/06/2021 18:51

I'm definitely in!

lachy a Christmas dinner sandwich is usually my Boxing Day lunch - thick bread, turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pigs in blankets and the thinnest layer of Mayo 😋

NoWordForFluffy · 24/06/2021 19:01
