My local Tesco came up trumps last week for Discounted Chocolate, I was worried I was missing out on another source haha!

So this Red Robin thingy, multiple people can answer each question? And then once midnight comes anyone can ask the next one?

Correct

You can go ahead and answer today's question and then like the countdown after midnight first person to post a question will have the question of the day anyone and as many people can answer.

Cool, thanks.

I lit my Feliz Navidad candle tonight for awhile. I'm rationing it so that I'll have it for ages.

Got more discounted Christmas chocolate in Tescos this morning. Festive spirit lives on haha.

I had Christmas pudding for dessert tonight and I'm now munching on a selection box.

Countdown to Christmas calendar

Kind of like a year long advent calendar except you count down the weeks not days.

I love the idea behind it but it's very expensive for what it is. €42 including p&p when you convert it to euro.

You could probably make one for cheaper haha.

Yeah it is expensive alright. There is a lot of nice stuff on that site but all equally expensive.

If theres ever a need for some Christmas cheer it's today. The weather today is shocking. So miserable, and on top of that it's Monday.

Uuuuuuurgh. Couldn't agree more, Loughc.
To top if off, I got very little sleep last night, so I'm wrecked.

Same, I got about 4 hours sleep! I really hope the rumours of snow this week are true that would add some must needed festive feelings!

snowgal

agreed!! I think today is nearly worse than last week for somw reason, now Im really wishing it was still christmas but yes, we might have snow this week, and as per username this makes me happy!!:) (I also just had a strawberry jelly sweet that I had left at work on Friday so thats good)

Yep, finding it increasing difficult as each week comes and goes now. I was only nodding off at 2.30am when I was woken by my wife shrieking. Our cat had brought a mouse in so I had to go rescue it. I had no chance of sleeping from then on. And to top it all off, I pretty much polished off the last remnants of Christmas booze last night, so that was extra depressing.

I am house bound the last few days had a flu, then an asthma flare up, last night was the first full nights sleep since about last Wednesday, I have to check back in with work tomorrow at least make an attempt to go into the office I can just imagine what is waiting for me😔. Work load is ridiculous at the minute.

Best thing to do is break the work load into little parts, do a to-do list and tick off as you're getting through the work, the sight of the ticks will help motivate you to get through the balance.

I LOVE to-do lists!!

I try to write one thing on it that I've already done, so I can tick something off straight away.

I actually have one in already, I am contemplating getting another,
this year I would like to have a big box and put all the gifts I pick up all throughout the year in it, I find I end up hiding them around the place and not being able to find them

Happy Shopping

I overheard a woman talking to her friend about Christmas and saying 'It's all back to normal now, thank God!' I wanted to tell her that she was using 'thank God' wrong.

Clearly she meant to say “It’s all back to normal now, thank god I am a robot who feels neither the joy of December nor the dreariness of January.”

Her battery probably ran out before she could finish the sentence.
