Wreck I just checked mine and, I've got 15% off as well. I might re- buy the pj bottoms I got for DD!

Morning!

I'm on a train (the first of many!), on my way to the office for two hours of meetings. 9 hours of travelling for 2 hours of meetings. 😬 Make of that what you will!

It's warm and wet this morning. I prefer this to the cold we've had over the last few days. 🥶🥶 I'd prefer warm and dry, but beggars can't be choosers!

25 it's December tomorrow!
It feels a bit warmer here so not so bad emerging from under the duvet this morning.
We missed the snow here - just had icy air and pavements. I quite like cold weather this time of year if I am wrapped up properly.

ConstantlyCooking · 30/11/2021 06:47

Good morning Fluffy! I was obviously typing slowly!

WreckTangled · 30/11/2021 06:49

Yay for December! I asked dh if he was excited and he scoffed at me HmmGrin I'm going to get to room decorations and window lights out today ready to put up tonight once the dc are in bed.

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 30/11/2021 06:53

Constantly, I was fine in the cold weather at the allotment. Even the snow didn't bother me, as I was wrapped up well (merino base layer, bamboo long sleeved top and duck down gilet, plus bobble hat!) and moving around. When it started to rain on my way to Aldi it was less pleasant, however!

ConstantlyCooking · 30/11/2021 12:51

Hope your meeting was worth the journey Fluffy. I agree with you about the weather cold and wet is miserable,m!

CrazyBaubles · 30/11/2021 13:30

Back to work today ☹️ and I cannot believe it's December tomorrow! Fluffy I feel like we may need to fill the thread so we can have one last one for year Xmas Grin

London was lovely - no snow but yesterday it was clear, dry and freezing - perfect weather for wandering around and looking at lights.
Also, the play is amazing - my mind is still blown by some of the special effects not to mention acting!
I came home feeling very very festive, helped by it being dark when my train got in at 5 and then realising loads of people had put their Christmas trees and lights up over the weekend Xmas Smile

WreckTangled · 30/11/2021 13:52

I'm pleased you had a good time. I loved moaning Myrtle.

Looks like we will need a new thread soon, perfect timing!

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 30/11/2021 13:54

I call one of our cats Moaning Myrtle - she doesn't stop unless she's asleep. 🤦‍♀️😹

CrazyBaubles · 30/11/2021 14:03

The moaning Myrtle actress was very good - she annoyed me the same way the film one does 😂
I was massively impressed with Scorpious (sp?) - he was amazing. And the magic on stage was just 🤯

CrazyBaubles · 30/11/2021 14:04

A friend sent me this today... Xmas Grin

I'm on my first train home...it's gonna be a long one, as we missed the train which would've got me home a hour earlier. Sigh.

By 30 seconds. Double sigh.

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 30/11/2021 16:15

Best get chatting if we want to get a new thread! Xmas Grin

CrazyBaubles · 30/11/2021 17:24

Oh dear, all I can think of is daft.

Fluffy that sounds rubbish! Are the trains busy? What time are you expecting to get in?

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 30/11/2021 17:25

just thought of needlecraft and papercraft.
i suppose there's "woolcraft"?
ooh, not according to american spellcheck.

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 30/11/2021 17:26

Crazy I doubt that will be pointless...although "Aircraft" was only 4!!

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 30/11/2021 17:30

Ahem...NEEDLECRAFT was a pointless answer!

What idiots are they asking these questions too???

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 30/11/2021 17:31

@ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy

How's your Dickens??

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 30/11/2021 17:34

I hate Dickens...uses 200 words when he could have used 2! What's the question?!

ConstantlyCooking · 30/11/2021 17:38

I love A Christmas Carol but have never managed to finish The Old Curiosity Shop!

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 30/11/2021 17:38

Don't worry...we'd be searching in our pockets for our BFH now.

How are you on breeds of chicken?

Not sure KFC is an option...

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 30/11/2021 17:42

Did you know Dorset Blue Vinney was a cheese not a chicken?
