It certainaly has whooshed by!! We are now mid Jan, and this usually seems like the longest month of the year- not this year

😂 When my GD is here we always have to play 'baby born' .... my daughter assures me she [GD] has never watched Call the Midwife- personally I'm not so sure this is true!😂

Almost forgot it was Friday! Cold here, bu the only snow we've had was 1am last Saturday night- and that was mostly gone by the morning. No plans for anything but a lazy weekend! 😊

Hi All! Nothing much happening here today, although I have offered to help prepare food for the GDs 5th birthday party tomorrow... where did those 5 years go? 😮 Very cold here, and hoping we can escape the snow this weekend. ❄️❄️❄️

Mine came at 6am this morning, collecting two bins- so two lorries, one after the other 😭😂

.... but it's not Friday! (or is it? .. when do I need to put the bins out? 🤔) 😂 Happy New Year every one 😊

It's funny you should say that- as personally I know more poorly people at present than duing the whole of the pandemic! Andy is currenlty on his second lot of antibiotics for a chest infection, ... my daughter's MIL is in hospital (ambulance Christmas day) with some kind of infection, and lots of other friends, family and neighbours all ill! So many meet-ups have been cancelled.

Well, I thinks it's Friday 🤔😂 Hope everyone had a good, or peaceful Christmas. 😊 cx

I love the afternoon tea tradition! We do similar but in April (on my late mum's birthday) However we do have to 'ditch' the GS as he has no table manners whatsoever! 😂 Did you go up and see the lights? If so was it good ? We were going to go yesterday too. I'd planned the Southbank, then Covent Garden, up to Carnarby Street then home - but too cold and windy for the two little ones so did Christmas crafts instead! x

Morning 😊 All good here- only I promised to make the GD a 'unicorn onsie' for Christmas - currently seriously wishing I hadn't made that promise though!! Best get back to the sewing machine... 😂 xx

...but not for long - back into hiding tomorrow!

Morning all. Lots of church cleaning going on! (and not by me 😮 ...I used to be on a rota when I ran the rainbows though) Sunny day, Ive finished until 7th Jan😂 now 😁 Party yesterday, and staff meail out last night. I've decided I need to make an effort to decorate the tree now, it's been up over a week sitting sad and bare... although that said, we have new** neigbours three doors down and they have lit up the missive oak tree in their garden so I recon I could have got away with not having a tree this year as we can see it from our living room!😂 ** I say 'new neigbours' , but the funny thing is they were our neighbours three doors down when we were in our first house almost 45 years ago! cx

Oh my goodness- what madness 😳 Glad it went well though.

Yes, we felt our trip was more 'frivolous' just meeting family and freinds for some Christams markets etc. I hope he finally get here safetly. It seems a lot windy-er here now! Watching SCD and have heard a few pots and things going over outside.

Hello, I'm still here! 😄 We decided to bail out and have rebooked for January. Weather forcast very bad, and we were visiting family along with a few Christmas Markets, many of the markets now cancelled due to the forcasted high winds and rain, one family has Norovirus, Andy has a chest infection - so figured it was best not to go. I do now however feel like I've got an 'extra weekend' thrown into the mix. Very relaxing with nothing planned, I may make a few cards I think. The downside is I now have to decorate my own Christmas tree as the plan was for my GD to do it as a 'surprise' for us while we were away. Still a bit early for me to be honest but it's now up and looking rather strange undecorated at the moment 😂 Please note- I like to talk about, and plan Christmas early, but I'm not one to put a tree up in November 😂😂😂!!! I spotted Trekker -from old - posting somewhere else on the forum and I've suggested visiting this thread for a catch up. Mind you- it she starts at page one it will take to the new year to get to this page! Still very quite here and I hope everyone is ok. Have a good weekend, and I hope it's not too 'wild and windy' for all (can't believe I'm writing that sitting here insunshine and clear blue skies at the moment!) Cx
