Pass the mince pies- Christmas Chat Thread Part Deux

Only about four more Christmas free months now because we're in March. Just April, May, June, July and then it's August and Brown Thomas Christmas shop will open!

Wow. That’s an epic way to look at things.

Those mince pies looked scrummy. Drooling here.
I hope everyone can get back to work safely. Don't take any chances.

Lads what a week!

I’ve just finished modding a fantastic game of werewolf so I’m just properly checking back in now. (If he haven’t played werewolf before check it out. Kitten K can vouch for how good and addictive it is.)

But what a week, we are in the 200’s in the countdown, it’s March and OMG we got snow!!

The past few days even though I’ve been WFH have felt so Christmassy. Having ChristmasFM back for one day was AMAZING and it really made the mood that bit extra festive!!

Can’t believe it’s all gone in most parts and it’s back to reality tomorrow.

Never heard of werewolf although Im not much of games (apart from drinking) type person. Prefer sports.

Anyway we have been talking about booking our flights home for Christmas this week..its beginning.

Posy

On my way to work after the Christmas holidays. Ugh.

Back to work today - so glad to be back to civilisation!

But I'm off again tomorrow for my little boys First Birthday This time last year, I was 7 hours into a 27 hour labour - a story I'm going to haunt him with every year of his life :pac::pac:::p:p

I don't tend to post photos of S on boards but these two of our snow building are an exception.

Loughc

OMG The Ghostbuster Marshmallow man snowman wins this snow event hands down!

Posy

Oh my god, the Stay Puft marshmallow man! Brilliant. I'd say S had a ball.

I think March might be a fast enough month. For some reason I think it's Friday. We generally get a large shop on Friday and did it this morning.
I've just to decide what to get for Mothers Day now!

Well, we'll have Mothers day, then the following weekend is St Patricks day with a bank holiday, then its quickly into Easter with 2 short weeks (good Friday & easter Monday) & then we're into April...

still think its just balancing out the longest January I can ever remember though

It was great. Best of all was getting to go sledging. We've had a sledge in the shed for years that was my cousin's when she lived in Denmark and I never thought we'd get to use it. Though once S had a few goes I realised that I had never ever gotten to use a sled in my whole life so he had to wait for me to have my go!

They do indeed March 25th I think.

Looks like January is going to have been longer than both February and March put together!

All settled back into work?

So glad it's Thursday today!

I have to say Snowmageddon was a nice (Christmassy) distraction to the usual routine.

It sure was, it was like a mini-Christmas break. Nothing to do but watch Netflix in front of a nice fire with some treats (in the evenings, I still had to work from home but we won't talk about that )

I had to work as well but as I already have nothing to do at the office on a typical day I took it one step further at work by pretending to work when really I was enjoying a white christmas :pac:

Sounds like my last job! Was brilliant at the start, bloody boring by the end! Nothing worse than sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day trying to make yourself look busy! Good luck with it!
