Countdown to Christmas 2021 - Halloween and Bonfire Night are coming; autumn is definitely here! (Thread 6)

[NoWordForFluffy]

79 (Saves hunting tomorrow!)

Here's your new thread...Crazy, it's time for pictures of the proper Bruce!

I also once had a dream that I shagged Dave Grohl. My dreams are definitely a total work of fiction. I'm married, after all, so I'd definitely turn Mr Grohl down.

My digging is done for today. I cleared some brambles and raspberry canes too. One more stint next weekend and my 'must do' jobs are done. Yay!

Is Dave Grohl your hall pass fluffy?

I think I'd actually have Jim from Biffy Clyro as top of that list I'm assuming I get a list, just not one choice! Dave would be on it though. I'm sure Dave is relieved!

I'm feeling awful today. I couldn't sleep thanks to a horrific runny nose that became a nosebleed and now I'm congested with an awful headache.

How is your DD Wreck?

Thanks Heyup - I'm a little bit tempted to find a space for the lanterns after Christmas... and thanks Fluffy for the heads up about kids wanting to play with them. I hadn't thought about that - I'm pretty sure they'll move when my niece is here

Lol at the hall pass list. Mine is either Chris Hemsworth or Chris Evans (the captain America's one, not the ginger radio presenter)!
DH has one too - Shakira I think 🙄

My HallPass is Freddie Mercury but I don't think that will ever bear fruit on account of he fact he is
a) not Waiting For A Girl Like Me (I know , not a Queen song )
b) not on this Earth now

And Shaun Evans ( who is still alive as far as I know) but only with his proper Liverpool accent , not Morse accent

If we're going for hall passes who are no longer with us, I'm going for Chester Bennington. I'm still so upset about his death. 😥

Sorry you're still unwell, Crazy. It really needs to bog off, doesn't it?

Ooh I think I'd have Chris Evans on mine too. And Roger Federer.

I've discovered that my right ear is also troublesome, as it was really hurting when I bent over whilst cleaning the kitchen earlier. Weirdly, they didn't do it when I was painting, so it's a returning symptom. Whoop-di-whoop! 🙄

Off for an early night. Normally I have one bad day with a cold but with this one I keep slumping after thinking it might be fading. Horrible headache as well (and now feeling sorry for myself!)
Wishing everyone speedy recoveries and a good week!

This cold definitely needs to bugger off now Fluffy. I keep getting dizzy spells - it's very annoying!

I've been working on the wreath cushion for my auntie all evening. Only thing left now is for me to make the insert, crochet the last edge closed then decide if I'm going to add a border (and if no, will it be red, green or gold) or whether to leave it alone... all opinions welcome!

Anyway, I'm going to bed. I've put it off for as long as I could as I napped this afternoon but I'm tired again now 🥱

40!!

I love that crazy! Dd isn't great, thanks for asking. Not sure what is wrong but she's barely eaten all weekend and keeps saying she's not hungry. Cried this morning and begged not to go to school but is insisting nothing is wrong

Morning!

It's miserable here and set to worsen. Grim!

I hope everyone feels better today. I still have a sore throat...I haven't leaned over to check my ear yet!

Do you think it's connected to the friends problem, Wreck? Has that sorted itself a bit yet?

I don't think so. She was fine when she got home Friday and there's nothing on her phone to suggest any fallings out. She would usually tell me too, eventually. I'm more worried about her not eating. I did say that when we're worried about something it can make us feel sick but she assured me there wasn't anything. She is being really off/grumpy with us though so I'm not convinced it's a physical thing.

It's grey and dry here. Nothing exciting happening for the next couple of weeks so feeling a bit meh, I just want it to be December!

Bless her, Wreck. Hopefully it's just a leftover from that bug the other week, and she feels better soon.

Has she started her periods yet? I used to get agonising stomach cramps monthly from being about 9, that used to make me feel rubbish, but I didn't actually start until I was 12.

My Hall Pass is Jenson Ackles, of Supernatural fame. He's just so damn pretty!

It appears that I now have the thread cold. Blocked sinus headache and snotty snuffles (yes I am totally glamorous). I am so tired with it as well. I am not a happy bunny.

Firefly well over a year ago. She said it's not that kind of tummy ache. I'm not convinced it's anything physical, feel pretty helpless and cruel sending her to school.

I hope your DD feels brighter soon Wreck.

40 days - eek- I need to get moving on my list!

I'm going to go Christmas shopping a week Sunday I've decided. It's hard now I'm working five days as I don't have that day to shop.

I can't take any decongestants due to medication I am on Wreck. I may venture out and get what my friend calls a nose dildo. I can't even think what they are supposed to be called either.

Welcome to the snotty club Why - it's rubbish isn't it?
I've had 2 meetings so far today and have had lots of comments on how awful I sound

I've made plans to go to Festive (Christmas factory shop) on Sunday and tie it in with a trip to drop of the cushion to my auntie.
I'm also desperate to get to B&M and have a good look around as I have 5 children to buy for from the Santa scheme I'm doing and I know they tend to do good toys and stuff, plus I still don't have anything for my Christmas table.

Wreck your poor dd. I hope she feels better soon and you get to the bottom of the issue

Is it one of these Why? I have a few floating around the house - Olbas and Vicks. I swear by them (plus a Vicks steam every so often which is amazing).

Ah yes Crazy it is the Vicks one I usually buy.

why you need Vicks vaporub on your vest! I bought a nose dildo last week, but I'm still getting sinus type headaches. They run from my removed canine tooth right up and around my eye and sometimes annoy my ear/lower jaw too.
I had a little cry this morning too (dunno why) then I had a runny nose and a sore head, so I had something to cry about. 🤦‍♀️
Wreck I think something has happened at school and she's been brooding over the weekend. Have the rather unpleasant "friends" cut her out of their group?

I wondered about something at school but she was fine after school Friday, she's been hanging out with some other friends so no issues there afaik.

I never take decongestants or anything but dh lives on cold and flu drinks when he has a cold. Poor baby
