Pass the mince pies- Christmas Chat Thread Part Deux

Neyite

We never had an Easter Bunny either. Got an egg each from the folks. Now my kid gets eggs from all the aunties and uncles as well as the ones we hide around the house /garden.

9/11, had the day off work, as did my flatmate so we watched the whole thing as it was happening on TV. Could not believe it was happening.

Slightly more on topic, I was checking my Wish order history and checking off what had arrived and saw to my surprise that I apparently ordered a blue Elf on the Shelf when I was slightly inebriated at the weekend. Oops!

This drives me crazy (I'm the same about selection boxes at Christmas). We don't do it in my family, but Mr. CLs family do and it drives me bonkers! I'd sooner they just bought them a book or gave them 2 euro to put in their piggy bank. Is the problem now that Easter Eggs are so cheap now compared to when we were kids?

Yes, I know I sound like Scrooge :P

We still have the majority of their goodies from Halloween stashed away. Probably from Easter eggs/chocolate from last Easter in a press somewhere as well.

Does come in handy when you feel like a late night goodie

Mines the same it's essentially a who's who of the Christmas forum. Which makes sense as 99% of my posts on boards are in here.

Mine is all over the place but a few elves in there x

Heres mine, forgot to attach it to the last post

You'll need to upload your image to a website that supports images for use on third party sites, I use Imgur. Then when you select the image on imgur (for example) it will provide a http link that you can copy into your boards.ie post when you select the little picture icon (insert image) at the top, that inserts the

Are you copying & pasting the correct code from Imgur? I know they give you about 6 options (usually on the right hand side of the image) for different platforms, are you selecting the ones for message boards?

Finally! Think I was because I was using the app and you seem to only be able to copy the message board link from the desktop version!

Thanks DvB.

Happy Valentines Day to all of ye lovely people

Bit windy out there today... stay safe people!

Bit windy out there today... stay safe people!

Yeah, wasn’t too bad earlier when I walked my dog just a bit windy.

Also had a hair appointment for this afternoon which I’ve rescheduled for next week instead, took one look outside as it was picking up and said Nah that’ll be a waste if I go out in that.

Loughc

Yeah it was rough out there yesterday.

It was lovely listening to the wind and rain in bed last night.

DvB

Just back from a walk with the family, storm may have passed but that wind still has some puff in it, some cold wintry gusts there that we could have done without. Lovely and fresh though, enjoyed it now that we're back and having a coffee.
Short week for me too off on thursday and friday to cover the kids mid term... looking forward to the little break.
