Countdown to Christmas 2022: it's s bit warm to be considering Christmas, but I'm doing it anyway! (Thread 3.)

[NoWordForFluffy]

Evening!

Here we go...unless we talk more, this will do us til the big day! 🎅🏻 🎄

82 morning 🥱

I went to the cinema and out for dinner last night. Didn’t get back until 10:30 and then couldn’t sleep until about 11:45. Up at 5:30 for uni. So tired. Also ate so much garlic last night, good job I’m not going to the gym as I’d be sweating it out 😅

Morning all, I am with you on the tired wreck. Was at a WI darts competition until past 10 them couldn’t sleep and then DH was up at 5:30 to get the train and woke me up. My team won the competition though so we came away with medals.

Morning. I've just booked a GP appointment as I had yet another migraine yesterday and the sheer amount of them over the last few months is worrying me.

biddy I love having a little 'if I won the lottery' daydream. My house wouldn't contain an office but I would have a lovely kitted out craft room and a tiny 'migraine room' which has perfect air con, comfy bed, sound proofing and no windows...
Would likely be on some sort of small holding too so I could go outside and sit with some goats / horses / donkeys / chickens / dogs 😊

xo I don't do Halloween. We never really did much when I was small and as I don't have dc we sort of ignore it tbh.

Neros when is the party? Sounds like you're stocking up well!

What did you watch Wreck? I haven't been to the cinema in ages.

Congrats on the win Dreaming!
What is your WI like? I'm intrigued but not brave enough to join here.

Hope you feel better soon crazy! WI here is lovely, mix of all ages and quite a lot going on beyond cakes and jam :)

Hello!

I'm just wandering to my surgery for my flu jab, which I now get free due to being an official carer for DS.

I too love a good lottery win dream. No office here. I'm winning enough not to work! Though maybe having one for life admin (DS has loads!) might be good. I'd want a big enough garden to not need an allotment, a play room and a crafting room. That's all I want!

I saw don’t worry darling. It was…crazy. Pretty good.

I have my taste and smell back again but the lurgy has kindly settled on my chest. (Thank you so much Woolly for going to the chemist for me 😘).

I am signed off till the end of next week now as well.

Lovely to see you why. Hope you start to feel better soon.

Pleased you’re on the mend why.

I’ve felt rubbish with my cold, thought I might have to go home from uni as my ears are making we feel dizzy and sick. Colds definitely get worse as you get older.

Evening!

I've been to aqua tonight and it half-killed me. I feel good for it, but it was tough going at the time!

Well done Woolly on collecting Why's prescription. I saw the Facebook post, but I'm no use from here!

Would be a long way to come to sort a prescription for me Fluffy but if that is the level of dedication you would wish to shower your older sister with, then who am I to say no?! 🤣

Morning. Looks like another blustery day here.

We now have an office/study, which I love and am in the process of filling with work stuff, and then plan to move my crafting stuff in 😁

Sounds exciting Firefly. We have a sun shed we didn't have time to try this year. Maybe next year 😄

81 Better do the countdown although it is a bit too much pressure for me having the responsibility really.

All full of colds here still. Ds in tears as he doesn’t want to go to school. Bleurgh.

Morning!

It's chucking it down and we have a yellow wind warning. Autumn strikes!

Well done on the countdown, Why!

I'd really like an office, Firefly. I work in the bedroom right now. Not ideal, but needs must!

Poland sounded great fluffy! I would love to do a Christmas market in Krakow but would ideally like a long weekend.
Crazy festive shortbread sounds amazing- could you share your recipe please.
Pleased you're all recovering!

80 awake since 4am… I think we’ve come top for a house, have to wait for a phone call now. So I’m even more stressed, ds will have to move schools and that makes me feel sick, even though I’m not particularly happy with his I just don’t know how he will cope. And I’ve got to find one. Plus I have two massive assignments this semester.

Oh bloody hell, Wreck. It's so hard trying to do the right thing, isn't it?

Constantly, it was great, albeit short lived! Krakow is beautiful too; I bet a Christmas market would be lovely there. Fun fact: our teapot is from Krakow!

It's been really windy overnight. The washing should be dry! 🤣🤣

Deep breaths Wreck. Sounds exciting, though. When will you know for sure?

Fluffy I typed a lovely long reply but the page crashed 🙄. So just pretend I replied to you and it was very intelligent and funny 🤷 How are you getting on with the air fryer?

I've also somehow volunteered to be Group secretary for DS's Scout Troop, so might be pestering Biddy for ideas!

How will you find time, Firefly?! You're a better woman than me, that's for sure!

The little oven is very good. I love how you don't have to wait for it to warm up, just turn it on and it's at temp in less than a minute!

I hope you hear soon about the house, Wreck. How quickly would they expect you to move?

Not exactly Christmas.
But SWAN have a flash sale til midnight. 25% off everything with FLASH25

I just bought a hyper clean for £145 instead of £190 :)

Sorry wrong thread !

I don’t know fluffy. I’m guessing it might not be that long, a few weeks?

One thing at a time, Wreck

Can you afford one of those removals companies that pack for you as well? I have said if we ever need to move again we are definitely using one!
