MNV-Vol 66. The Christmas Edition.

[QueenC]

It's that time of year again.....blingy and dry have already been wearing their Christmas jumpers.
Come and join in the festivities. All welcome, new and old. Just bring your sparkly links.

Yup Marsha hair of the dog

Relieved, DH did so well

Calm in the kitchen.

Lunch 2pm......break for the Queen at 3 ILS

Happy Chridtmas my friends

I have just cracked open prosecco Marsha. We have had bacon really really good bacon sandwiches for lunch. Snacking on cheese and olives for the afternoon. DH in charge of food - he is doing chicken and ham with trimmings for 5pm. We probably won't watch the queen

OK back to assembly of the Lego friends animal hospital....

Brilliant Dry and Lib

I'm a bit squiffy and the turkey has another hour to go I think

I've done the I love you phone calls

The children are playing so well it's unbelievable

I'm wearing my new Nike black reflective night running trainers, ok it's not high fashion but a great present as I'm often running home in the dark and everyone wanted to see them on apparently Dh felt sorry for my 10 year old ones and new Marant jumper from Liberty

Bernice I wanted to send you much love

I'm wearing my turkey hat......with black skinnies, a very unflattering peplum top will not be posting pics and Ghillies (sp?)

liberty MIL stood up during the National Anthem before Queen's speech..........DCs were

We cracked open laurent Perrier at 11.30!
Ive done really well and been incredibly lucky with jewellery box, dressing gown, handbag and bracelet! Wasn't expecing all that. Turkey (and my cheesy mushroom) are in the oven so about to open more fizz!

at dry's DMIL. Did you see the article in the Radio Times about Jack Whitehall wearing a suit and standing for the whole of the Queen's speech to tease his Dad?

I am rather squiffy. Have completed the Lego friends set and now onto the classic box. So far have built a house and a Jeep under instructions from DD. Am quite enjoying myself. Dinner smells v good.

I haven't drunk this much champagne since my wedding day

I'm all champagned out now. Is it bed time yet....?

Harden up QueenC. I am now on the port

Just had a Baileys.....wish I hadn't

Love the evening drinking posts! Hope you all had lovely days. DH & I both have filthy colds so only managed a bottle of red between us and a glass of fizz each - we couldn't even finish the bottle - poor show. Hope to recover in time for NYE.

I got some lovely pressies - the red Zatchels bag as instructed, Bill Skinner necklace and some LKB shoes. I'm not sure about the shoes - DH went off piste. They're pretty but I hardly ever wear heels these days as I normally take the tube and can't be bothered with the faff of carrying extra shoes.

Anyone started sales shopping? There's an AS dress I saw before Christmas & was waiting for an extra reduction. It's come now but they only have size 2 or 4 left, bah.

Why would you want to buy dirty trainers? .....guess it's a trend, like ripped jeans, not for matchy me.

Today I'm binning two fav items because they've died. Nothing expensicpve, but fantastic basics I've worn to death and had on my chair for weeks because I just couldn't bring myself to part with them. Is it just me.....or do you get attached to certain clothes?

Morning! Hope you all had great day! loved the evening posts. Mine was absolutely fantastic. First time in a long time all of my immediate family have spent Christmas Day together in a long time. 15 of us for lunch/dinner and then 6 some of my cousins came round for dessert and games. Finally got to bed at 2am! We had about 300 presents under the tree and it took us about 2 hours to get through them all. We do stockings in the morning and then don't do main present opening until about 5pm. All the kids are very patient! Doing it all again at the pils today!

We had a lovely Xmas too. I asked little DD to get me a drink this morning at 9am and she said 'do you want wine?' Maybe time to slow down!

Amber. Too funny!

amber

that sounds lovely Blingy

stokey hope you and dh feel better soon

i'm still in shock at just how spoiled i really was. there was so much thought put into my gifts and its made me a bit teary tbh . ihope everyone has restful boxing days today

Love it Amber!
I've made a couple of sales purchases I blame the rain

these happy shoes

Nice shoes Dry. Did you get them in red?

I didn't get the Tom Ford perfume I wanted - it is £££. But I do have some cash and am wondering whether to just treat myself as there is nothing I really need. And I know I'd love it. wwyd?

Went ice skating today but it was like a huge puddle as its so warm. I found it really hard to skate.
amber have you done your usual Boxing Day shopping trip?
shop tricky one. I'm not a perfume lover really so would find it hard to pay that much for some. But if you're going to wear it everyday then it makes sense. If it's something you'd only wear for going out then I wouldnt.

stokey'could you swap the heels for flats that you would wear?

this I've been waiting unlike me and yipee its reduced not by much v me,v useful.

Yes Shop In red. I'm imagining a classic dramatic look, all black with red shoes

Shop if you love it get it. I wear perfume every day, so, if you're like me, you'll bet your money's worth. Yolo and all that......did I really say that?

And this
