Countdown to Christmas 2023: launching into summer with more Christmas planning (thread 2)

[NoWordForFluffy]

Here's our new thread. Almost missed that it was needed!

Can somebody add the countdown again please, as I've no clue! 🤣🤣

Mind your step there Hans......... ooopsie . Toobad !

Hans Gruber advent calendar!

Inspired.

We have never had festive toilet roll here at Why Towers. Does that mean we have never had Christmas - 🤔

I cannot top the Advent Calendar so here's a Judgey Black Cat in a Christmas Hat

Yippee-Ki-Yay MotherF*er <sanitised version>

Whaaaaat

Do you use standard drinking straws and wipe your hands on a plain handtowel too ?
<Clutches fake pearls and eyes up Christmas straws and Christmas handtowels >

If I didn't use my The Snowman LooRoll my Judgey Offspring would Not Give A Damn riot and leave home !

To update on The Traditional Christmas Shopping Trip chez 70

It was so cold in that London , I was wearing my new M&S coat but I should've taken my gloves .

I did order an air fryer ( Black Friday ) so my DS can stop putting the oven on to cook a few measly food items (he cooks his own meals in the week as he;s the non vegetarian and likes to eat earlier than us)
When (if) he ever leaves home I'll sell it to him at a knockdown price (I'm kind that way )

Are you bloody sure you're my sister?!

Get thee to Aldi in the morning!

Just checked the thread and living all the Bruces

We don't generally have Snowman loo roll either why - I think I stumbled across some one year and it ended up lasting 2 Christmases because DH hated it and packed it with the decorations
We do have Christmas hand and tea towels though, before I'm banished from the thread!

Fluffy I found a baking project for you, inspired by Die Hard.
And to avoid any arguments, I'll stick with the version I enjoy - the Die Hard inspired episode of Brooklyn Nine Nine

I just realised , this is The Last Rudolph Day of the year

Tomorrow is a tidy/cleaning day , I am wrestling my way through the laundry baskets then I'm going to get the big vacuum out and terrify the cats .

I have to sort out the DEc 1st Baskets ( everything bought except underwear for DD but I might be able to get that on Sunday , I have to get my flu jab )

I'm going to wind up Rudolph Day by watching Classic Coronation Street (Christmas Day episode today ) just put on the episode before to see Christmas Eve . No idea what year it is though ....

Thirty Days

Fluffy are you starting a new thread today ?

Just woke to a negative pregnancy test. Going to try to put it behind me for now and focus on Christmas. Am woefully behind.

Loving all the Bruces :)

I'm sorry to hear that, Hoping. 😟

New thread: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/4950132-countdown-to-christmas-2023-its-the-final-countdown-thread-3

Crazy, are you finishing off the thread?!

Sorry to hear that hoping. I think distracting yourself with Christmas is a good idea

And yes I'll close the thread now....

I'll get Bruce, and a random mock up die hard done out of the way first
