Wow what a wondeful merlin creation , i love the gingerbread people too  catvery-happy:

DH has told me that hes going to decorate the main bedroom over the festive holiday ,  ohh nooo where do i put all my stuff !:(

[ed_blackadder_1]

PCC I am glad mine is not the only daft begger, he wanted to decorate the kitchen   WHAT!.

He doesn't normally do the decorating thats my job, but he has 2 weeks off so doesn't want to get bored, - I told him to go fishing instead.

Rotten night last night, was woken up at 4am by hailstones crashing against the front of the house, our back fence was doing a Mexican wave, any more of this and I think we might be off to the DIY place for more fencing.  He wont be bored then.

Horrible weather yesterday & the rain on the windows last night kept me awake. Today the sun is making an effort but it's still windy! I had planned to do the final shop tomorrow but looking at the forcast am thinking perhaps today would be better. If I get a frozen turkey today will it be ok just in the fridge until I cook it on Wednesday?

Afternoon all.

Huge hail stones here - coming down very fast too. Have just had a disagreement of opinion with ward sister who wanted to shut my window - no matter how cold it is, I always have the window open, even if only slightly.

Maggie - I am sure that a frozen turkey would be fine in the fridge until Wednesday.

Merlin - lovely wreath.

[cookiecookuk]

i agree with stroppy your turkey will be fine until wednesday .

and i am the same as you stroppy i always have my bedroom window open no matter how cold.

are you in or out of hospital for christmas(out i hope)

[stroppy*cow]

Hoping to be out Xmas eve - I am supposed to be helping at the homeless shelter Xmas Eve, Xmas Day and Boxing Day.

We shall have to see how things go though - the side effects of the cocktail of anti-biotics are pretty dire, sick much of the time, and not very with it either. Calcium and magnesium levels are all over the place, can drop like a stone within minutes.

[ilove2patch]

No open window in the bedroom for me.....Brrrrr! Also I am on a busy main road so the noise would keep me awake. That's my excuse. Thanks for the turkey advice but I have decided to go tomorrow whatever the weather. I will then be able to leave turkey lurky in a cool place & have more room in the fridge.

Afternoon all.

Last night, we had strong winds and quite a heavy shower.  It's still on the blowy side at the moment but we do have quite a lot of blue sky and a few clouds at the moment.

Admits to not sleeping with the window open.  I live in a bungalow with a large window that opens so sleeping with the window open is a no no.

I see that I'm not the only one who doesn't like tea either.  I much prefer coffee.

[chickengrandma-2008]

My daughter went to M&S this morning Maggie, which is just a little way away from the big Toscos.  She said the cars were queuing right out to the roundabout on the main road, and weren't  moving at all!!  Set aside your whole day tomorrow for Asdo!!  

[bitsnknots]

Hope that you soon feel better Stroppy.

We normally do a food shop on a Sunday but I decided that we'd part of it last Thursday and the rest on Friday.  Must admit that it's harder though if someone's working.

[captainbovine]

aaww that wreath is fab!!! love it.

Oh Stroppy I didn't know you were in hozzy, I hope you will be out for Christmas day. When oh when will you get your Christmas dinner? I suppose at the moment you couldn't care less!!!

[stroppy*cow]

Captain - we wouldn't have done "Xmas" on the 25th anyway, as I should be helping the homeless, we will probably make New Year's Eve our celebration.

[cookiecookuk]

we went to te##c this morning to get the last fresh bits as i am working all monday and teusday  .the store opened at 9.30 and tills open at 10 .

at 10 to 10 we could not park on the entire car park there were cars driving round and round with no where to go so we went to li##es for 1/2 hour to allow peeps to start coming out of te''c so we could park.the store was absolutley manic.not nice.

but at least i found vegetable crisps so that was a plus

I'm feeling all nostalgic... ( must be the time of year...)  E bay decided to send this tread back to the beginning.. I've been reading all about sock monkeys.

[****merlin*****]

[bitsnknots]

I can believe it Cookie.  We normally do a food shop on a Sunday but we did ours last Thursday and Friday.  

Hope that everyone is as well as can be expected.

[merc1_clocks]
