Only 100  Better get organised.

Hee Hee I've got that app on my phone!

 Me too

 

Me three 

 

That means it's about 70 sleeps til the decorating starts....woooo-hooooooooooo!!!!

 

The puddings we give as gifts and the Big Day cake are on the to-do list for the next couple of weeks....and I have just started making my Crimbo candles this afternoon.....cards to follow....busy busy, but excited!!!

What candles do you make mrs B??!

gnah

blimey..

SHUT UP!

NO !!!!!

just.........

 

no.....................................

Me too! It's wrong! 

hahaha

it IS wrong

youre supposed to get excited about xmas in december

we've got halloween and bumfire night to go yet

 

Just normal ones...tealights, jars etc....plain, coloured, unscented or scented! I love making them in cup and saucer sets as well....they look so cute! I don't do pillar candles though as my pillar moulds are rubbish....need to invest in some new ones!!!

 

I can't get excited about Halloween at all.....I have never been bothered by it and we tend to just ignore it! We go to a huge free local firework display where Christmas starts cos they dish out free mulled wine and mince pies....brilliant!!

Ooh sounds pretty mrs b, I like it I do carve a pumpkin for Halloween & get sweets in for the local small trick or treaters, but as a child I wasn't allowed to, my mum said it was devil worshipping to take part I love fireworks too but I'm not keen on standing around in the rain for 2 hours and being disappointed by the poor display.. Christmas is the ultimate countdown to it celebration

nah,

halloween is too commercial

yanks fault

(well thats a ban right there)

i like bonfire night-all them sparklers

and rockets and fireworks that make my eldest dog shake

nah

dont like bumfire night either

 

turns into a twatfest of blokes who have a contest about who buys the bestest/biggest/loudest fireworks

not realising it saves the rest of us buying them cos the 'jones' are keeping up with each other

 

 

I love it when the neighbourhood set off loads of fireworks, I get to see them out the window near the heater

you said what i meant in 2 sentences lol

WOOOOOOAAAAHHHH, I haven't had my 'summer' holiday yet!

 

am going down the money in a card route this year .......... well apart from my grandchildren who i will buy wotever mum n dad says they need , they are so small i think clothes will suffice 

Incredible! There were Christmas adverts on the tellybox tonight.

And, I notice, Sainsburys have got their 'early' Christmas stuff out,,, its f'ing September!

nah...toys!

i hate it..  

 

but due to being awake at stupid o clock cos of the walrus of love & his hairy sidekick snoring the house down I have been doing a bit of internet window shopping & list making..  

 

came across these for those of you that are serious crimbo heads (& don't have a wheelie bin rubbish collection).. 

 

 

Xmas Pudding bin bags! 

Christmas starts in December for me and not before...well after 4th December to be precise cos that's the youngests birthday. Decorations, disco tree etc don't get put up till mid December.

I totally agree Croc...    as you probably remember my Alfie's bday is at the end of November..  so like you I can't think about christmas til thats done & dusted.

 

*sighs*

 

bloody inconvenient time to have a child..    the run up to christmas..   mind you, that really couldn't be helped (wasn't like I planned it or anything )   I do need a bloody good slap around the chops for deciding to get married on 16th November..   a few days before Alf's bday & on the run up to christmas..     I didn't think that one through at all..  

 

We can never afford to do anything, get each other anything on our wedding anniversary

 

(although this year will be different..   we are celebrating it by going to see the new Twilight film..  LUCKY MrD!! 

I had planned not to be massively pregnant in summer which I managed....didn't occur to me though that having kids with birthdays in November, December, and two in January with Christmas in the middle would be rather an expensive time.

 

But seriously I am sick of the sight of Christmas stuff way before tyhe actual day comes around that's why we don't start it in our house till after Alfie's birthday

My brother was born December 13th so Christmas wasn't allowed in our house until the 14th

It's 99 now, right? I'm more behind in my planning than I was yesterday!

My 'baby' (6 foot six and built like a brick shite house) brother was born on the 25th. He would get a pressie on my birthday in April to make him feel a little better about missing out on 2 gifts from loads of relatives.

Aw the poor thing that's gotta be a real tough day to be born on, talk about overshadowed! Well done for making an extra fuss of him And yes, 99 sleeps to go!!!!
