Calling on style and fashion fanatics, this is the space for frivolity and fun (though it gets a bit tense at sales time) Wink. All welcome.

Did your card turn up One? I posted it last week.

Very elegant Dry.

My son has just walked in with a box of ducklings ! Yellow fuzzy ducklings! They are for a friend with a farm and a gift. It was the most wondrous sight, all these little ducks peeping curiously over the edges of the box. Xmas Smile. And the peeping noises.

QueenCadbury · 23/12/2013 20:34

Phew, wrapping finished. Hurrah. Dh doing his now so I'm waiting for the inevitable swearing when he loses the Sellotape end Xmas Grin.

mig I asked ds (6) if he'd like to be called Bear and he said no way! It may be cute for a baby but I can't imagine many older boys liking it.

Frozen was fab. You can't beat a bit of Disney Xmas Smile.

Hopefully the weather will settle so my dp get down the m5 ok. I've just got to brave waitrose in the morning to pick up the turkey and last minute bits then I'm done!

Drywhiteplease · 23/12/2013 21:16

Hehe....DH got home....no coronary, apparently our new car has the same sized boot as my old fav car spec not my forte
He also didn't notice the half full bottle of vino....or maybe just thought it was one we'd started on another day Xmas Grin.......and just now , my MNV friends don't tell anyone because I have my reputation to uphold I got the glasses out of the dishwasher the dirty glasses he'd put away gave them a quick wipe with a piece of kitchen roll (don't like ketchup on my glass....I do have STANDARDS!! and emptied the bottle " it would be a waste to leave it in the fridge over Christmas " Xmas Grin
I love Christmas !

libertychick · 23/12/2013 21:23

Shop sorry, yes the wool has arrived. I have been in hiding bed for the two days with some kind of weird virus, aching all over and v v tired - slept for 15 hours yesterday. Still off form today but made it into work.

Haven't looked at links properly but well done on being such good sales early birds. I haven't looked yet.

Novice Flowers for you. Fingers crossed that things will be ok for your sister. I really hope you get some time to relax over Christmas.
