Remeber I said I'd bought a ginger bread train kit, well I've just seen this photo and thought 'yup that's what will happen when I make it'

How it should look on the left, and what mine will end up looking like on the right.

 I was exactly the same!

I've just counted, I'm waiting on 18 separate deliveries before I can start wrapping other peoples presents  Hope they are all here by Wednesday at the latest!

I've only got one thing left to get, Mr Cinds main pressie and I'm getting it on Monday 

Rub it in why don't you 

I've still a few things to get in town

Ells! i'm off into town tomorrow toddler in tow! (in pushchair) MrJen is taking the older two to see the Hobbit... they've all been waiting for it come out for ages. So that leaves me getting the in-laws prezzies with minime ready to burst (she HATES her pushchair lmao) Oh the joy of Christmas! lol

I'm sure it will be fab!

im sending my older lad to notts tomorrow with a list purfume shop in vicky center ..ohh the joys of older kids  hope its not to busy in town for you tomorrow jen

one last pic i promise i must do your lots head in

Aww Jen I feel for you, I leave mine with Granny as much as I can if I have to do any shopping other than food shopping (ohh they love that!  Robbing me blind and adding all sorts of shite to the trolley!).  We took the eldest the other day to get his xmas clothes/footwear and he moaned non stop and I had to send him back to the car to wait with his dad (who is just as bad...he wouldn't get out of the car!).

A few snacks and a new toy (£shop) might keep her quiet for a while

I swear you're a clone of me! lol

And aww at cute Mary, Tina did Gemma manage to go with you?

 No she was working...could only take 2 so MIL came with me

Jen....glad someone else uses the same (probably frowned upon) tricks as me  

Been reading back through the thread.

Well done to Jack for coping with the Inkeeper role and stepping in at the last minute to cover for sick Frankie. I love that they have an office to be sick in.

Olivia made a lovely Mary - keep posting the pics, they're great, Tina.

I agree with Soozy, put Summer in charge and the world would be a better and happier place - vote for Summer!

3 hours of old christmas songs.

Sounds lovely doesn't it  It really made me laugh - he said it so matter of factly. I guess they're trying to keep this noirivirus thingy contained ..........fat chance I'd say.

A lot of people in the village have it - I'd say it's only a matter of time .......just so long as we get to have Christmas 'virus' free.

Ad over there >>>>

Cool toilet holder.

Ohhh cheers erin we have friends coming over for dinner tonight, I might put this on for when they arrive!

I played it today doing my housework ,loved it.

That 3 hr christmas songs was on my recommended page yesterday Erin, i too played it today while cleaning and dancing around with the kids (and hoover)

Erin I saw this and it sent me on the hunt for a funky toilet roll holder.  This is the first one I found.  How cool is this?

Just to bring the thread back on topic.  I've just downloaded the portable north pole app. 

Is the Christmas TV guide out yet?

I think so - my TV Times for this week says the Chrimbo edition is out on the 11th.. but I couldn't find one in the shops yesterday 

Excellent I've just requested the husband to call in at the shop on his way out / back from playing squash.

Get him to get me a TV Times if he finds one 

Can't see the pic cinds 

What like is the toilet holder you found?

We've wrapped all the presents from Santa and have done the same thing we do every year.....say there's not enough!  So we've to do more shopping this week 

It's a medieval knights armour.

I want to buy my friend at work an olive tree ... no more than about £8.

I know that's a tall order, but I was really hoping that Aldi or Lidl would have one - but no luck

It'll be smellies again I expect!!

I've just ordered some Wonder Woman pants for me and some Superman ones for Mr C.  The Christmas daft present.

Photos?

Just wondering, like

Not yet!

I did go to google the image of them and found a very interesting picture of some mens frontal enhancement pants, brand name seems to be Show-it.

*saunters off to google*

You set me up for that - didn't you

ahahahaha

What about a chilli plant? Not the same I know 

Did you see them?  I was almost on the floor laughing, then laughed even more imagining what mine and my sisters reaction would have been if they'd had those in me Mams Marshall Ward catalogue when we were kids.
