    Wish me luck. I thought of the BEST surprise gift for S for Christmas and have found a great sale on ebay that's exactly what I want. It's ending shortly after noon tomorrow and I'm hoping to snipe the competition. :D

    It would be nice if they returned to form wouldn't it. Caburys chocolate has been pretty vile for the last year or so. This is the first year ever that I didn't buy a single creme egg at Easter as the ones I bought last year were manky. I barely ate any of the miniature heroes I bought at Christmas either. This year I'll just stick with two tins of Celebrations.

    S's big Santa surprise arrived yesterday. I just have one or two more bits to get and all my Christmas shopping will be done.😀

    I had promised myself that I would avoid this forum until December this year however after stupidly going for drinks on a school night I am hanging and need a perk up so thought I would pop in.

    Good tidings to everyone

    I still have Christmas lights and a couple of decorations in my sitting room. They kind of just blend in at this stage.

    Just realised that we've one third of the year done now and it flew in my opinion.
    In the next third we'll hopefully have nice weather. We'll also see the Argos catalogue. Schools close for the Summer and return for a new year. There's also various other events. In mid August we'll probably see the Brown Thomas Christmas Shop open and we might see the tins of sweets on the last week of August and then we'll be in the final third!

    Once Summer is over it's time to get focused on Christmas haha. I find the Summer is full of distractions which isn't a bad thing, then after the Summer all the retail stores turn their attention to Christmas.

    Summer is my favourite time of year. I love Christmas, obviously, but the warmer summer weather makes me so happy.

    I love the warmer sunnier weather too, it's an automatic mood lifter, shame we don't get too much of it haha.

    Summer here is just an endless amount of questions from the mini glitz about how long until halloween when can we put up the decorations what is this year's hallween theme etc. And as soon as they go up ... when are they coming down when are the Christmas decorations going up. Hahah I've created little monsters :)

    I love the idea of summer. Ice coolers with drinks , bbqs and rattan garden furniture. Marquees and water balloon fights. But in reality never works out like that. No picnics on sunny hillsides and more than likely showers mid bbq :) i stay optimistic thought :) it will happen at some stage lol

    Just back from holidays with S and am sooooo happy to be home. On day 3 of the holiday I came down with a horrible tummy bug and spent the night dashing to the toilet with vomiting and diarrhea. Finally felt better on day 5 and was determined to have a great last couple of days when S woke in the middle of the night vomiting everywhere. Thankfully we managed to have a mostly lovely last day and then made it home in one piece. S is already planning our next trip and has even stated (treacherously) that holidays are better than Christmas!!!!!
