Cheerlouth congrats on the engagement. I second the hilarity noted in the way you announced to the board, biscuits first.

I need to get my hands on that inflatable Santa and also the toilet seat covers.

Be gentle, I have been out of Ireland the vast majority of my adult life but what is 'The Range'?

I just really hope that's how Cheerlouth announces it to their family and friends as well.

"Free biscuits! FREE! Three of them! Completely free!.......

oh and also we're engaged"

I was super excited about the biscuits - I never get anything for free lol

Thanks everyone x

After the other post I went on to Amazon and bought covers for the toilets in my house, four of them! Damn you Christmas forum.

Sorry/You're welcome. (Delete as appropriate

). I hope you also bought a cover for the toilet paper! :pac:

Jude13 · 23-09-2018 1:55pm

The cover for the TP came with them. I don't even have four toilets, I just couldn't choose. A christmas book arrived today from Amazon, its in its pack so I don't know which one yet. I dont want to open it in the office.

I'm spending my Sunday reorganising my referencing system for my PhD and eating chocolate gingerbread I picked up yesterday in Lidl.

It could be better but it could be worse! :pac:

Ah people have bought their OH's pressie!! I am nearly panicking. I opened the amazon pack and there were two books.

I can't seem to upload pics on photobucket, might be a work thing. Is there an app that can help? As I am not home I might throw up a few pics this Christmas. Maybe even an expat thread.

I stole that from their Wiki page! :pac:
