Welcome back Glitzgirl. You have so much (positive) energy. I sometimes get tired just reading your posts.

Just watched the original Band Aid song on youtube this morning, as well as a couple of other Christmas songs.
Had a meeting in work this week where we finalised the details for the staff Christmas party as well.
Its getting so close to getting the decorations up, I'm fit to burst

Ok so had to help out at a church gate collection last night. When I was coming home from there I decided to go into one of the local pubs where a few customers and the bar staff were discussing ... yup you guessed it ... Christmas parties.

I was driving through a village last night and there is a little restaurant/chipper/shop and they had lights up outside for Christmas!

Been up to my elf ears recently moving out of the nest, after settling in I wake up in a world full of Christmas and I must say this has only made the transition that much more jolly!!

To celebrate I will be eating christmas sandwiches for lunch until the end of january, just had one today and omg divine!!!

It’s always my weekend to start preparing for Christmas. Drawers and cupboards will be cleared to make room for the Christmas stash - you know the amount of stuff that has to be bought in case of hurricane / famine/ great flood etc.

Gotta say this inspired me to start on food cupboards last night and now I'm clearing out other cupboards along with......Christmas music playing!! I know it is Halloween but it is just for an hour to keep me going quickly :P Think I'm trying to convince myself that it is ok....:D

You left out an apocalypse, that's what I always say to my husband "yes, we need 4 of those in case of an apocalypse". Some people just have no foresight *long siiiiiigh* :pac:

This will be me at midnight.

I love Christmas so so much but all of a sudden today, I'm so excited for it, it just hit me!! I have a Halloween headband on in work and I'm imagining all the Christmas things I will be wearing.

One thing I HATE is that all the super cute Halloween and Christmas outfits are made for babies and children. I saw a beautiful Christmas jumper in Tesco yesterday... FOR SMALL CHILDREN ONLY *sobs* Why do clothes manufacturers hate me??!!

My local Tesco in Waterford is undergoing renovations at the moment and the place looks absolutely awful. What a time of year to do something like that?! Their Christmas stuff is kind of all over the place and I hate it!! I hope they finish soon.

Saw a preview of the Costa Christmas cups this morning - got very excited and then a meh feeling...maybe they will look better in the flesh...at the minute I think last years were nicer!

Popped into Dealz for batteries and had a look at their Christmas aisle. All the Halloween stuff is gone and the Christmas stuff is filling the whole aisle. They have some cute elf things that might be good to use with the elf on the shelf.
