Aaaand... let's start as we mean to go on...

Carolina maybe his mum runs his fan club for him

Rather predictably I haven't RTFT before posting but I should say - congrats on the new neice MiladydeB - she's arrived hoorah! Also is that a Comtesse I spy? The comtesse?

Hiya TW, haven't seen you here for ages!

Congrats MrsB

Just watched the last episode of the last season of Downton Abbey. WTF??

Trev is that you??!! That is an outstanding Christmas name change.

Thanks for all the congrats wenches. is on me.

Carolina I thought that too. Which does not bode well. He has fled London flat re rumours of fenches and wenches?

Ooh Carolina I have a lovely image of him snug in the shed at his mums, sitting answering his fan mail.

Hey Trev, love the Christmas twist

Hi TW

indeed Tis I.

I just put Downton season 5 on my Xmas list but I haven't even watched series 4 that I got last year yet. I have room in my life for Strictly and The Musketeers - that is it.

I got Downton Series 1 for Christmas last year. It's still in the shrink wrap. Like Anne said, Musketeers happened (and wenches)

Where is Elk?? Has she gone back to the 1950s again or did I imagine it? And WHERE is Hannah eh?

In fact where the fuck is everyone?!

Hello? Hellloooo?

Thank God TM and wenches happened

We've watched Atlantis. Pile o shite.

Am knackered so off up to the Hayloft.

Night wenches

Hmmm... don't think Mum would run his fan club but I do think she might have thrown a sack of mail at him and told him to 'Answer that bloody lot and don't think for one minute that I'm licking all the envelopes!'

Could mean that Tom might be staying a couple of weeks with them and travelling on Eurostar to Paris.

So Luca flying from somewhere - Howie from Heathrow/Gatwick? - Santi flying in from Berlin - Tom on Eurostar?

How are we going to stake-out cover all those?

Watched Sherlock, off to bed in a minute.

Inadvertently had another TM/RL crossover today - ds2 was telling me some long convoluted story about messing something up on minecraft (tbh I wasn't really paying that much attention) and I found myself doing the Dog Smile And Nod at Bonnaire whilst acknowledging about knowing the speed a horse can travel when you're a farm boy. You know the one.

Looking forward to the TM/RL crossover opportunities that come with S2. Hopefully that will involve actual TM/MavisGrind action. Although my hopes aren't high.

Taps screen back.

I'm tiiiiired ought to go and sleep. Have done no Xmas cards yet.

Me neither Helen. Once I've written cards for my class, and helped with the dcs cards for their friends, it's a wonder my friends and family get anything.

Right, off to bed. Night all.

Christmas cards are bought, but not written. I got one through the post over a week ago. Way too early.

I write cards like Bridget Jones. Pissed and listening to crappy Christmas CDs. Might start next week.

Arf at RL/TM crossover. How is the planning for the new thingy coming on Mavis?

Night all.

I sort of always forget, although I have bought the DC a pack each to leave out on the kitchen table with their advent calendars tomorrow night.

I do regularly say 'I love it when a plan comes together' and I have rein it in whenever I say 'do it' because in my head it plays out differently.

I say good to go at work. A lot.

Honestly, I'm here on my own all day & when I push off to watch an hour of Celeb you all arrive

Ooooh congrats Mrs Beeeee!! How lovely. When will you see her?

Luca lives in P'boro but is always on the train to London. My bet is on Eurostar except Santi waaaaillllllllll. I feel that I must capitalise on the fact that I will be in London that very day. We neeeeeed that schedule, Mrs Beeee.

These will give me sweet dreams. Night

Loving Trev's Christmas name. Hi Trev.
Congratulations AuntyMrsB.

I have bought few presents. Have no Christmas cards for us. No Christmas cards for kids. God I hate it. Last year I promised myself I would get them written by end of Nov.

I haven't even bought Our Secret Santa present.
And I have no idea what to buy. Why am I so shit at buying others presents????
