    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 :p )

    Same I had to work from home, but I had Christmas FM blaring and the evenings were Netflix and treats all the way.

    I don't have remote access to work from home, so just had to slave away doing nothing. :( :pac:

    Well hello everyone....

    I'm back and I just finished catching up on this thread- over 50 pages!! :D Sorry I hadn't been posting as I was feeling quite anti Christmas at start of December so I didn't want to post and ruin it for anyone. I crashed on way to work one morning and I had some bother with car after I got it back so it just ruined half of December for me- even my hubby had to try and get me in festive spirits putting up Christmas tree himself before Toy Show which I have to admit did the trick! :D

    I thanked him the night before Christmas Eve by making him open our Christmas Eve box saying to grab some munchies for the movie only instead of munchies he saw the sleepsuit with 'Big Smiles for Daddy' :D super cheesy or what but I just had to link it in with Christmas! :P Thankfully I didn't get the sickness until after the new year so I just wasn't able to do anything until recently!

    Catching up on this gave me a notion of taking few mince pies out of the freezer and throw them in oven when I get home this evening- perhaps even put some festive film on! ;)

    Congrats to Mystery Egg also! :D

    Fingers crossed your recovery is speedy Cork Lass!

    CheerLouth, hope you're ok since your crash as well.

    I sure I will spend this coming Christmas in San Francisco. As the bother and his wife aren't able to visit, due to a wedding in Vietnam.So overall it's going to be pretty strange I imagine..

    I’m good Posy, thanks for asking. Hoping to be walking without crutches in about 4 or 5 weeks and I should be waving goodbye to the walking stick. It’s been one hell of a year and not in a good way but the outlook is extremely positive. I’m told I may even be able to get back to my spinning classes over time, fingers crossed :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,468 ✭✭✭CheerLouth


    That's great news, Cork Lass! Fingers crossed for you!

    Happy Long Weekend, everyone! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 560 ✭✭✭xDisneyDivax


    That sounds really positive Cork Lass!

    Really looking forward to the long weekend! I'm taking next Friday off so I'll only be working 3 days :D

    It is BALTIC today!!!


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 27,631 Mod ✭✭✭✭Posy


    Baltic and with flurries of snow.

    The snow flurries I'd have been so excited about a month ago just look pathetic now! :pac:

    Some snow here this morning!! Yikes!


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 2,610 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mystery Egg


    We're snowed in again. It fills me with dread because I'm pregnant and I can't go out at all for fear of slipping! However on the plus side my husband is here with me this time (last time he was in Madrid) so I've got company. And milk and bread. :)

    Snow 2.0!

    I say we declare tomorrow a public holiday because of the snow. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    I’m enjoying this snow a lot more than the last! It’s pretty heavy and deep in the estate but the main roads are grand. My husband had to chase our shopping bags around the untreated part of the supermarket car park and even with his dodgy knees it was grand. We have plenty of food and I’m back in my jammies on the couch reading.

    I follow Chris Stark on Instagram and he has a video up of his DJ set last night - he played a Christmas song!
