Hello Everyone!

Bob xoxoxox

Hi Bob :wave2:

[tinks_1989]

hello bob

[poppyolivia]

Hi bob!:)

Well I ordered things fron the disney store(uk) and one of the things was a tinkerbell tree topper ..... order eventually came today and they forgot to put it in the box!:rotfl: It says on the invoice its there!:confused3
Phoned the lovely lady and she is re sending it...might get it in january if I'm lucky!:laughing:

Grrrrrrrrrrrr!;)

The pooh bear version is half price now, should told her to send me that one and refund me!;)

Poops the tinkerbell one is half price now too, do you think I should email them asking for a refund since its their fault I have to wait longer....or is that a hard neck?

[tinks_1989]

how could they forget to put it in the box do you not have a disney store near you x

[Bolanette87]

There is a helicopter hovering above a house on the next estate along from us.... The noise is doing my bloody head in!

Bob xoxoxox

[poppyolivia]

how could they forget to put it in the box do you not have a disney store near you x

no we don't have one!

Found them half price now, do you think I should email??? or is that too cheeky?

[tinks_1989]

you could for the inconvience of them sending you an empty box or like you said returning it all then buying back at cheaper price.

shame i didnt know before i would have happily gone into our disney store (any excuse to go) and sent it to you x

[Bolanette87]

no we don't have one!

Found them half price now, do you think I should email??? or is that too cheeky?

Considering you now won't get it until January (Lets face it, what good is a tree topper in January?) I think you should be entitled to some money off. Whether they'll see it that way is another matter! I'd ring rather than phone though as you may get a better result!

Hi guys, whooooo the kids have gone home! No school for 2 weeks!! I'm just pottering around my classroom tidying up and making sure I am ready for the new term. It seems wrong taking down christmas decorations before Christmas!!

We were the same today - putting up our tartan in the hall for our Robert Burns celebration when we get back :)

[FiFi Rose]

I'm sooo jealous! We don't come off until Tuesday lunchtime. Christmas plays were today and got parties on Monday.

[wideeyes]

hi, been Christmas shopping today and got my brothers present, still need to go shopping on Monday for my parents gift. DD finished school today and had her party so we are all officially on Christmas break.:cool1:

hoping to book DLP by Christmas eve if the money clears into my account by then. so excited!!! an extra chrismas present for DD as well as her birthday present: :yay:

[Bolanette87]

Robert ordered a photobook from Boots for his Dad for Christmas from us. When it arrived, it was bent, torn and scruffy. Robert emailed and complained, and they promised us a replacement in time for Christmas. Today, two parcels arrived, and they are photobooks.... OF OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: To top it off their phonelines won't be manned again until Monday, so there is probably no chance of it getting here in time for Christmas!!!! I am absolutely foaming as we are going to Barnsley on the 27th, so there's no time for it to get here after Christmas either!!!

I wouldn't care, we really need our mini Christmas to go with a bang because of Robert's mum being ill so I am beyond furious. The fact they botched it once is annoying, but twice is beyond a joke....

Sorry, rant over!

Bob xoxoxox

[angel_nix]

Grrr.......that's really bad Bob, I would be going mad at them.

Would you like a homemade chocolate chip muffin to feel a bit better? Or one of 50 sausage rolls that I have just had to cook because I forgot to put them in the freezer when I got in from shopping!

Good evening...

I'm feeling a little disgruntled this evening. We had a "random draw" in work to determine what time we're allowed to finish on Wednesday. They put a bunch of times in a bag and the managing director then drew one of the times out.

Unsurprisingly, the latest possible time was drawn. What this means is - I will be finishing a grand 30 minutes earlier than I usually do on Wednesday - finishing at 5 rather than 5.30. Happy days ;)

[thelittlemermaid83]

Evening people.

Typical! I'm hoping to just be able to get out on time on Weds rather than the usual 30-60 minutes late as it has been recently

Police have confirmed that the body found last week in Orlando was that little girl Caylee and it shows she was murdered.

so sad! xx

Even tho tests show it was homicide we will never know how she exactly came to her death. :(

She can finally rest in peace.

I hope her mother rots in hell.

I don't get how a mother could harm there own child. I just dont understand it at all.

[poppyolivia]

Some people are so mentally fooked up!

[mommy2ash]

I don't get how a mother could harm there own child. I just dont understand it at all.

Hey all

emma i was reading up about that and it is just an awful story. i cant believe how the grandparents were sticking up for her i mean it was pretty obvious that the poor little girl wasnt alive and it was her mothers fault. the fact that they couldnt even verify the last day that they saw her said enough. if ash was gone for half a second i would have phoned every emergency number i knew. i hope she gets what she deserves.

I think tomorrow im going to buy a balloon and send it to little Caylee. :(

[poppyolivia]

Thats a really thoughtful and kind thing!

Apparently the man who found her remains reported a suspicious bag in August. The authorities failed to investigate.

It is too awful. Are Casey's parents implicated in their granddaughter's disappearance?

[A Small World]

Im now on holiday from work for 2 weeks - hurray.

we're going down to Cambridge tomorrow for a few days to see DS and then bring him home for Christmas

[thelittlemermaid83]

Alot of people seem to think they are, not where they helped Casey kill Caylee but they with-held evidence and made conflicting statments.

The whole family seems rather shady IMHO.

Hi there Small World. I'm off work until 7th January. It is a lovely feeling, isn't it? How nice to be bringing DS home.:goodvibes It's my eldest's birthday on Tuesday - time flies.

[thelittlemermaid83]

What a messed up bunch of people. What a shame she was born into such a hateful family.

Rumours are that Caylee's Dad is actually Casey's Brother.

Not sure how true that rumour is, but how sick is that if that is true.

That poor baby never stood a chance.:sad2:

yes it will be nice to have him home but it means DD has to move out of her new big bedroom to let him have his room back. She'll be back in her tiny room again

[joolz1910]

:sad2: There are some very odd things that go on behind closed doors. The whole case screams abuse on every level. It makes me so sad to think of what some innocent children have to endure.

[thelittlemermaid83]

I had so much i wanted to do this evening but im glued to myfoxorlando news.

We have to play 'small bedroom' politics too. We have 3 girls and a 3 bedroom house. It will all kick off when they are teenagers.:rotfl:

My eldest said, 'Why can't the baby sleep in yours and Daddy's bedroom?' She was serious. It doesn't help that one of her friends has her own ensuite, phone and TV/DVD. They are 8!

Hi everyone :goodvibes Love your wreath, Karen. :santa: We have 3 girls and a 3 bedroom house.

So do we ~ my middle and youngest DDs share. My youngest doesn't mind but middle one hates it. Every time she kicks off I remind her that a 4 bedroom house would mean a greatly increased mortgage which would mean no Disney holidays for a very long time so she soon shuts up then.

I always tell her that if having to share a bedroom with her sister is her only gripe when she's grown-up then she won't have had too bad a childhood, will she! Ooh, you can see I can be a hard mother!! :rotfl:

My two eldest share - there will be a major battle once the baby is old enough to go into a bed. I'm seriously considering an annual rota, unless there is a 'natural' share that emerges as they get older.

[thelittlemermaid83]

Right i think im going to go bed now.

Got 2 sets of visitors coming over tomorrow so will be a busy day.

Have a good evening everyone, night :)

[Ware Bears]

Yep, my eldest and middle shared for a few years then I swopped them round. There's only 4 years between them all but the younger two are closer in age and are both at secondary school whereas eldest is at art college so needs a bit more space to do her homework in although she does have the smallest room.

Reid, that was very sweet of you to say although Emma's proved she's definitely a better mum by giving Kyra the biggest room! :rotfl2: At least I'm better than my DH ~ when middle DD kicks off he offers her her own room, the shed in the garden! :lmao:

We have parallel lives. My younger two are closer in age and I imagine that will be the 'natural' share in the future. My DH has offered the garage to my eldest when she moans about sharing. Isn't it funny that sharing a room is viewed as some sort of hardship nowadays? My MIL had to share a bed with her two sisters!
:scared1:

[Ware Bears]

:lmao: :lmao:

My late FIL was one of 12 children and they lived in a 3 bedroom house too ~ I think they used to have a shift system for the beds!

I agree ~ kids these days don't know they're born OMG, now I'm not only showing my age but I sound like my own mother :scared1:

Yes, both my MIL and FIL came from huge families and thought they were lucky to have blankets for their beds! BTW, I have already turned into my own mother. I even say to the girls, 'I've got eyes in the back of my head.' How did it come to this?:rotfl:

[Danauk]

Wow it's quiet on here again today. Within the past 5 minutes I just got a picture message from my friend from work who is at Disneyland Paris right now and one from my dis pal Emily who went to WDW yesterday. I wish I was with either of them!!

Having a lovely time and hitting the shops later today - to browse of course not buy

[manxtatt2]

dont know if this is the right place to put this , but you could you please pray for the family of little Colum Canning who drowned on thursday at the explorers hotel while visiting disneyland.

i have copied and pasted the news item from our local paper


A FIVE-YEAR-OLD boy from Londonderry has died in a water accident in Paris, it has emerged.
It is understood the child was in the French capital with his family and drowned in a hotel swimming pool near the Disneyland resort on the outskirts of the city.

The boy has been named as Colum Canning.

It is believed the Canning family - who orginate from the Springtown Road in Londonderry - were on holiday to celebrate the birthdays of Colum's twin brother and sister on Boxing Day.

The fatal accident is thought to have occured on Thursday, but details have only emerged.

[angel_nix]

Morning,

I just saw the news about that little boy, how sad.

Good Luck for the scan today Cap'n!

[manxtatt2]

so how is everyone this morning??

[joolz1910]

I have just read about that poor little boy. How dreadfully sad. My heart goes out to his family.

Thank you :hug:

[joolz1910]

I hope the scan goes well today, Cap'n. It must be a very tense time for you both at the moment. Hopefully you will get positive news. I think that sometimes consultants can paint a very bleak picture because they want to cover all possibilities, however remote. I will be thinking of you today.

Very sad about that poor little boy at the Explorers Hotel.... Such a shame.

My two friends who I want to ask to be bridesmaids were meant to be coming over this afternoon.... I was going to ask them then. One of them has dropped out as she's been called into work (Damn Marks and Sparks!).... What do I do??? This may be my only chance to ask my friend who is still coming as I may not see her again until summer....! Damn uni!!

Hey sweetie.

Still ask her. Just maybe ask her to keep it a bit quiet until you can see your other friend too. :)

[Bolanette87]

Oh, we don't work together (I'm one of those annoying unemployed students!).... We go to the same uni though, so I could meet her one day after Christmas when we are both in.

Hey sweetie.

Still ask her. Just maybe ask her to keep it a bit quiet until you can see your other friend too. :)

I think I'll do just that. I'll ask Tanya today, but tell her to not say anything until I ask Henri..... :goodvibes

Bob xoxoxox

[torsie24]

Yay! That'll be lovely, I'd love to be someones bridesmaid, I think I'll be Jack's sisters but I don't like assuming thigns (she's mentioned it a couple of times, but they're saving for a hosue at the moment)

I'm going to the jewellwers today to ask about getting my great aunts diamond solitaire reset into my engagement ring.

Can't wait to see what mountings they have!! :):)

This is the first birthday cake I have ever made! My daughter (who is 9 tomorrow) wanted a homemade cake and she also wanted to decorate it. I made the cake and then stood back (supervising) while DD did the rest. My daughter is so pleased with it!:lovestruc

I am available for weddings, christenings....;)

Thank you:flower3:

A lady at work gave me the cake recipe but the design is all Olivia's. It was much more straightforward than I thought it would be. I bought a slab of fondant icing, colours and cutters and off we went.:goodvibes

[scampbunny]

looks lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
believe me, after all the cakes ive made, i still panic that it wont taste good (so i slice a thin bit off a part of it so i can taste it;) )

well done, u both did a fab job!!!! hope she has a great birthday tomorrow!!!

which reminds me, i need to look at baking a cake for ds2s birthday on 30th and havent even thought about it!!! hope i can find sum roll on icing still!!!!

[torsie24]

That cake is so beautiful!! Did a 9 year old really decorate it?? I wish I was that arty!!!

[tennisfan]

Afternoon:goodvibes

Thats a lovely cake Juliette, you could not tell that it was your first one you made:goodvibes

[thelittlemermaid83]

What a lovely cake Joolz, you fancy showing me how you did it. I'm a disaster with baking lol.

[poppyolivia]

way hay I feel like part of the gang ... I think I'm getting ill!!!:cheer2: I was beginning to think I was a robot or something!!

Bones hurt, sore throat, runny nose and tired...yay I'm human!!!:rotfl:

oh paul is finished at 4.45..boy I'm going to milk this to the hilt!! I never get ill so I'm gonna go for gold!:woohoo:

[joolz1910]

You are all really kind.:blush: It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Once I'd rolled out the icing and stuck it on the cake, I gave Olivia the coloured icing and the cutters and off she went. I'm incredibly proud of her, as she is very artistic. She did a number '8' in the middle until I pointed out that she would be 9 tomorrow!:rotfl:

DLRP doesnt have him anyway.

[Danauk]

Yeah at Disneyland the Jack Sparrows were being chased too much by the women!! lol I don't recall seeing any when we were there in the summer. There were however quite a few Indiana Jones guys around.

[Danauk]

I saw Captain Jack at Disneyland Paris in October, He was outside POTC during Mickeys not so scary halloween party. Although I don't recall seeing him on any of the other trips this year.

[angel_nix]

He was there last weekend outside Blue Lagoon

[tinks_1989]

yea i just seen him on a trip report scampbunny there is a pic of her son with him and then her and her son i have only ever seen him on floats or like Danauk mentioned being chased by women lol

[Dianetigger]

Good evening everyone, we managed to see Jack Sparrow in July, he was outside the Blue Lagoon at certain times.

So is everyone ready for Christmas?

[Danauk]

Yeah we are ready for Christmas. As we are not hosting this year it makes it easier. We have all the presents for both sides of the family packed in boxes ready to deliver.

[mummyal]

Good evening everyone! I'm just trying to sort out & upload "a few" DLRP pictures for Facebook. Once I've done that, then I'll make a start on my TR.

Hope you're all keeping well !!

[Dianetigger]

Yes I feel more or less ready now - another quick suoermarket trip tomorrow when we get home and thats it.

[tennisfan]

Evening all:goodvibes

I'm dreading going to work tomorrow as I went up there to get a few last minute things & couldn't get anywhere near the car park, all the entrances were queued:eek: My friend tried to for 30 minutes to get a space as she was working, she ended up parking way off site.

Fortunately my mum is off for the holidays so can give me a lift & my dad is off from Xmas Eve so he is taking me then.

[Danauk]

Sounds well organised, where are you spending Christmas Day this year? We are at home with Mum coming here for the day.

We are going to in inlaws on Christmas eve, then on Christmas day we are driving up to my mum and dads then going for Christmas dinner at my Uncles house. Then back here on Boxing day as we are involved in the towns panto which starts on the 27th.

[mummyal]

So is everyone ready for Christmas?

No, not quite. Still have yet to do the food shop. It's just going to be us 4 on Christmas Day, so we don't have to get loads, thank goodness. Just what we need for Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Am so not looking forward to going to Sainsbury's tomorrow morning, esp with the 2 kids in tow:scared1: . But needs must and all that.

We went to Tesco yesterday, feared the worst as we drove up as they had attendents showing you where to park on the car park (unheard of!) - anyhow got a parking space easily enough and then although parts of the store were busy the checkouts weren't, so pleasantly surprised.
Will take Mum to our local supermarket on Wednesday to get the fresh stuff, otherwise we are as ready as we'll ever be!

I have a friend who I suspect in secretly thinking the same about me being at work today, though they're "at least" busy doing other things so aren't able to just lounge around in bed all day ;)

[Danauk]

I'm quite impressed. I managed to find a pin on ebay that DH needs to complete his Star Wars pin collection. It won't get here for Christmas but at least it will complete his collection! Well for now anyway!!

Oh dear - I can sympathise with you on the pain caused by having train tracks adjusted. I had braces of one kind of another for 10 years which weren't just limited to train tracks. Fortunately I was quite young when I started, so I was finally rid of my retainer about 3 years ago.

I've been working - in fact, I'm still working :thumbsup2

[MrsTigger]

Hello!!!

How is everyone?

I'm bored... I've been doing abit of work but getting abit fed up of it now LOL

I'm thinking there won't be xmas dinner for me this year!:rotfl: You can't describe that soreness eh?:eek:

Anyway folks I got my Tinkerbell tree topper and the flippin wing is off it!!:scared1: I don't know if to phone and say as I would have to go to the post office, pay postage, then get it refunded and get another one etc etc...

or will I super glue it?:rotfl:

[ukstitch]

I'm thinking there won't be xmas dinner for me this year!:rotfl: You can't describe that soreness eh?:eek:



Tell me about it - I used to take paracetamol for a few days while it settled down again :scared1: :headache: :hug: Hopefully it will have settled down somewhat by thursday though :hug:

The one I found worst wasn't the train tracks, but was the headgear that I was given. I think I wore it for about a week before I gave up with it because of the soreness it used to produce in my top teeth :rolleyes1

I had a lot of problems with my braces though - they kept breaking and coming unstuck from my teeth so I was back and forth a lot having it re-glued and fixed. That was fine when I was at home, but it broke on holiday once - the A&E department at the local hospital didn't have a clue how to mend it or remove it so just left it :confused3

[A Small World]

Evening all - we are home from our trip to Cambridge and have now got DS home with us.

Its a final trip to Asda later -:scared1:

That might be the best idea, they might be restocking the shelves if you go later too.

[ukstitch]

so do I. Fortunately there isnt that much we need. Im actually tempted to leave it til really late

A few years ago, we went down the Sainsbury's (who had 24 hour opening) at about 5am on Christmas Eve morning. It meant there was a reasonable amount on the shelves and was nice and quiet.

I have vertical maxillary excess (gummy smile) and a new othodontist wanted me to go to Glasgow to get some upper jaw bone cut out:scared1: I was seriously thinking about it but then looked on youtube .... enough said!:rotfl:

I then went to my next appointment and it was the guy in charge of the department I got (got him today too) and he said it should never have been mentioned to me about surgery and on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being I seriously need it) I was only a 2.... so that was it wrapped up and worked out in 10 mins and I had been worried for 2 months wondering what the right thing to do was!:confused:

In a weird kind of a way I think I might miss my train track!:confused3 :laughing:

what one are you getting?

[Danauk]

I told her to get one with WDW 2008 on it but for her to choose which one.

[A Small World]

A few years ago, we went down the Sainsbury's (who had 24 hour opening) at about 5am on Christmas Eve morning. It meant there was a reasonable amount on the shelves and was nice and quiet.

Is that we as in you personally?

I've just posted this over on the weddings thread, but would love to hear if you guys think doing this would make me go to hell.....I'm just so torn! It's giving me a headache!!

Right this is a little confusing so please stick with me!!

---

I am soon (hopefully) to be engaged, as some of you know my DBf and I had chosen a lovely ring from a well known UK jewellers.

But, I always wanted a family ring for my wedding/engagement as I think it means so much more.....

So - my very elderly grandmother had a stroke a couple of months back, and since then has developed pretty severe dementia, she doesnt really know where she is, or whats going on. :(

She's also lost a lot of weight, and has had to be put into a home.

All of her jewellery has been given to my mum, as her only daughter, and my mum wants me to have it all.

Now, one of the rings my Nan has been wearing for the last 10 years or so is her sisters engagement ring - a 0.5 carat solitaire, which is very beautiful.

I've been given this, along with my nans diamond solitaire engagement ring. I can't think of doing anything to my grandmothers ring, just incase her dementia miraculously clears and she asks where her ring is...

But do you think it's immoral of me to get my great aunts reset while my grandmother is still alive? (My great aunt passed away 10 years ago, and she never had children or grandchildren of her own, and really doted on me.)

Also, we went into the jeweller and asked about prices and styles yesterday, and i fell in love with a ring i could have my diamond turned into.....

...amazingly the exact figure was transferred into Jacks account today through a payment he has been owed for months!

Am I evil??? What would you do??

Just to add - its not a case of money saving, its a case of using family jewellery is my dream - and my nan is just crazy, not on her way out, and we will be engaged soon.......so to buy or to recycle?

I wear my grandmas engagement and wedding ring on my right had and my engagement and wedding rings on my wedding finger. Maybe you could do this? My grandma is also still alive and has demintia too, she lives in a care home.

Is anyone else not feeling really Christmassy or is it just me? I think because we are not hosting Christmas this year I am not having to prepare like I usually do and so I'm not really in the Christmas mood!

Ive been finding it very hard to get myself in the Christmas mood at all. I am preparing Christmas lunch as usual and even though Im going through with getting things sorted I still feel as though its weeks away

[Danauk]

I'm just not in the mood for it all this year for some reason. No sure why really. We have to go to the inlaws tomorrow evening for dinner which I thought I would enjoy, but I don't really want to do that now.

I'm not quite in the mood yet, mainly because the house is a mess lol. I haven't had time to sort things out yet (both pre-holiday & post-holiday mess!) as we have been out yesterday & today. However, I have decided that we won't be going out tomorrow (well, apart from maybe to get some petrol), so, the day will be spent putting things away and emptying the front room out for pressies etc. It's a kind of mess where you don't know where to start and each time I look at it, I just want to screeeeeeaaaaam !!! :scared: But all will be okay by tomorrow afternoon...hopefully:rotfl:
