February is a tough month so I thought I’d offer you a little quiz, just for fun! :D Below is 12 questions, and i’ll give you the answers over the weekend. Let’s see how many you can get right (without using google!) there’s 12 questions, but 14 points up for grabs... good luck! 1. What is an adult male swan called? 🦢 2. Which country donates the Christmas Tree in Trafalgar Square? 🎄 3. Which Hollywood movie showed the first toilet flush? 🎥 (bonus point if you can give me the year) 4.
Remember remember, before the days of health & safety gone mad, when we could light a big bonfire and sit right beside it? Bramble's is my priority these days but I used to love Guy Fawkes night! I still look out the window at the fireworks though, I love them
I've started a Christmas thread, but let's not leave out the fabulous fun events before then! Has anyone got plans? I usually carve pumpkins and go to work in fancy dress, then stay in costume for the treat or treaters coming :)
welcome to the countdown thread for 2017! As requested by our festive friend Saint :D 72 sleeps to go and I've not saved a penny so I'm winging it this year! Quite apt, seeing as my theme this year is... Angels! :angel: i have bought a couple of gifts already and I've been working on my handmade cards today :thumb: how are you lot faring?
the biggest show in the world is back! And I'm as excited as I would be on Xmas eve :D who else is watching? I'm most excited about Arya Stark's storyline this year and she's going to meet Ed Sheeran in tonight's episode, he's made a cameo appearance:cool:
It's long overdue (IMO) so for those of us who like it, let's get the festivities going! I have only got a couple of gifts, but my cards are made. I've spent the best part of this year making a brand new collection of "gingerbread" felt tree decorations and I can't wait to see how they look on the tree! Our pub meal for the day is booked :thumb: I'm glad the weather has turned in to a cold snap, it feels so festive :D Gift ideas this year are Hygge inspired, and if you haven't heard of it...
It's apparent that for various reasons, several forum members here could use a jolly good hug. So from me to you, for all of you, here's some :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :kiss:
I'm really looking forward to this, if you haven't already seen it, here's the trailer for the new movie! http://youtu.be/5R2gIC8oq2Q Renee looks great :thumb: i haven't read the book, so I'm not sure how closely the movie will stick to it.
It's almost here- the 2nd best day of the year! I so excited that I've been making a batch tonight, for tomorrow's lunch st work. Whos taking part? What toppings are you having? How many can you eat..?!! What will you give up for lent? i make mine very thin, then I can eat about 10! My favourite is lemon & sugar but I'll eat any of the others :nod: happy Shrove Tuesday everyone :kiss:

I've waited as long as I could be alas, my festive spirit is too strong to be suppressed any longer. There's only 53 sleeps left until Christmas- who's getting started on their plans already?! :Santa:
I've just put my brand new, first ever,...
Here we go fellow crimbo fans, it's time to start getting really really excited!!! I've got my Xmas cards half made and a second bunting garland sewing project on the go. Visitors are invited and we've booked dinner out, and several events are booked too- including the polar express How you all doing?
Back this weekend, I'm very excited!
The magazines this week are full of cast interviews and little snippets of what's to come.
It looks like Lady Mary has a more exciting storyline this season and I personally can't wait to see how Lady...
Returns tonight! Hallelujah :D *jumps from one end of the sofa to the other and back!*
It's first shown at 2am- because it's that popular we've been given it at the exact same time the Americans :clapping:
It's also on at 9pm tomorrow night if...
I'm thinking about them already, a lot! I love them :D
What kind are you lot getting?
Me, I've got a ferrero rocher one to try, and a dairy milk one.
Cadburys Easter eggs are my favourites
Pancakes!!!!!!! Hurrah it's Shrove Tuesday tomorrow :D
Lemon & sugar will always be my favourite but I like to experiment on pancake day
This year I'm adding marshmallows to the table and mr summer did mention brandy soaked blackberries too
Today I got an e mail from "pay pal" telling me that a payment of £42 something was billed from Skype. I immediately smelled a rat; PayPal is one word, it has no gap. Skype is a free service, I've never been charged for it. They didn't have my name or address in the email. There was a link to a "dispute centre" at the bottom- PayPal don't send links in their emails. I have reported it and deleted it. I did not click on that link. Please be vigilant everyone, do not fall for such scams, never...
I said I was going to go there but I did :ninja:
It's every bit as annoying as they told me it is! Also, I'm rubbish at it :blush:
90% of the time I crash into the first or second pipe!
One time I somehow got to 10 :eek:
How about you lot?
Anyone here able to enlighten me? I need a wine for dummies guide!
Forget white, I can't stand it.
Pink I like, as long as it's more dry than sweet
Red, I hadn't touched for 8 years until this week, but I love it.
What's all this merlot,...
Kinder egg!
Today I noticed they now sell them with a pink or blue hint to the packaging- for girls & boys toys inside, I presume.
I picked up a pink one.
I'm about to open it- shall we guess what my prize is?!
WHY do dogs seem to want to snuggle up, lay on your legs and look incredibly adorable.. When you most need a pee, but least want to move?!?!!!
In addition, why do they then give you the most filthy looks when you A) attempt to stroke them whilst...
I've thoroughly enjoyed watching this years series and much of that is down to Emma- she did a cracking job and is a pleasure to watch. Not only is she good, but she's gorgeous, and a genuine BB fan :clapping:
I bought a Kodak printer last year, I hate it! The ink runs out ridiculously fast, and doesn't save us any money in the long term. In fact it's costing more than the old Lexmark £30 per cartridge printer I had before! It needs replacing but I need you guys to guide me on which printers are good, if you will...
Usually I can take or leave the shopping tasks and prefer the housemate dynamics more, but Crikey, the remote task had me gripped! I thought it was genius, I even shed a tear when Sophie's boyfriend came in
The sheep were brilliant! Dexters mum was...
