    I find snow miserable in this country. It fecks up the transport systems and the roads end up like ice-rinks. It'd be grand if we were equipped to deal with it as a nation. It's like the heat- the Irish don't do extremes well!

    Mashedbanana those garlands sound beautiful you will have to post pics in December. I am not very confident about doing things like that but I suppose I could give it a lash I am just sick of spending money on all these garlands and I am never happy with them.

    I am always drooling watching American Christmas movies they have gorgeous garlands and trees.

    I am laughing at all the snow posts I could do with a bit now to cool down the kids are up all night with the heat so we are all a little cranky !!!!

    Heres another idea, you could buy 2 pishkey cheap ones, and with some green wire (of the garden variety) twist and intertwine the 2 together. You have one serious, lush, full, garland. Then decorate & add to as you desire. :-)

    A couple of good winter tyres! I take mine off in the spring, and put them back on in October. I'd be lost without them, I live in the country, and in 5 years we are here, only on 1 occasion did the council salt/grit our road. Many a bad day I was out and about, when NO ONE could move, and many were even stuck. Even very decent remoulds aren't too bad, as new winter tyres are expensive. I trust my tyre man though!

    I like snow tbh....it makes everything clean and pure, and kina forces us to be slowed/quietened. Which isn't always a bad thing. Talking of us Irish not taking extremes too well... it was 22deg here where I am today. I was cold. We all were! Looks like we have grown accustomed to the heat! and here I was all along laughing at the foreigners wearing there jackets in the scorching heat for the last few weeks! Couldn't understand it. Now I do! If this winter is a bad one, I hope the council have their act together!

    I had an almost Christmas baby. She was so tiny, I managed to fit her into a Christmas stocking - as you do! - for a photograph.

    I hope that admission doesn't get me arrested :eek:

    I haven't been here in months but I just got my first Christmas Decoration and Craft email from Better Homes & Gardens! It says what better time to get started and make sure I'm organised.... My sensible mind is telling me, "No, you crazy woman! It's the middle of summer! It's roasting!" However, my inner Christmas Fairy is squealing with delight :pac:

    Don't worry. You learn to ignore the voices in your head telling you such things and soon you will be singing Jingle Bells in June with the rest of us. :pac:

    It's crazy to think X factor starts in 4 weeks!! I think everyone uses X factor as a countdown to Christmas!
