Hi girls-

How is everyone doing?

Mandy can't wait to hear all about your girls weekend.

Laurie- how was the party yesterday?

Michele- where have you been?

Jen- stay sane a school this week.


Hi to everyone else who is still lurking.

 

[Hanover]

Good Morning.

I hope everyone had a fun weekend. We were busy with football most of yesterday. It rained and then poured and then let up then rained some more. We came home and had to peal our soaked clothes off-- and we had on windbreakers and huge umbrellas the whole time.

I can't get to my inbox on Comcast 's outlook express to see my emails because of some issue Comcast has been having the last couple of weeks here. It's rather irritating to say the least! I can get on Internext Explorer, but not check or send emails!

Mandy, were you able to access the pictures on that link I sent?

 

[sandym]

Danielle-

Sorry you had a soggy day yesterday. We lucked out for baseball and it stopped raining for about 3 hours. I was glad because my in-laws were here just for the game.

Hope your email is back up soon.

Hey Girls

I'm so sorry I haven't been around much, it's been a bit mad around here.

I had an absolutely fantastic weekend away with some of the other UK Community Girls, and if you want to see what we got up to and some photos, then have a look here

Danielle - I have received the invite to look at your photos, but I haven't had time to look at them yet, I promise to look at them in the next couple of days

And thanks for the Facebook invites too, I'm not a member, but I will take a look and see what I have to do

Sandy - this is for you (there's another tardis photo on the trip report)

Everyone, I miss you lots and I promise to catch up with you this week

Hey Mandy-

Thanks for the picture. I showed Ian and he was thrilled. Can't wait to read your report. I browsed through quickly and it looks like you girls had a fabulous time.

 

[mandymouse]

Hey Bahama Mama's !! I miss you !!

 

[mandymouse]

Hey Bahama Mama's

How are you all ? I hope you are all well

How are your Thanksgiving and Christmas plans coming along ?

I'm really for Christmas. All my presents are wrapped, my cards are written and I really want to put my Christmas tree up this weekend (not sure if Paul wants it done this early though )

So, what are the kids after this year ? Becky's had a TV/DVD for her room, and Kerry is having Bex come to WDW with us for her Christmas/18th birthday present

Anyway, I thought I'd give this thread a bump to see if anyone was around

Take care

 

[sandym]

Mandy I'm here

I just put my shopping list together for Thanksgiving over the weekend. Usually our Christmas tree goes up the day after the big meal but this year we will be away at my mom's so we will put her tree up instead. Ours will have to wait.

Tori would like money to go shopping with and Ian wants a video game and legos.

What do you want for Christmas Mandy?


Hello to everyone. Hope you all are doing well!

 

[mandymouse]

What do you want for Christmas Mandy?

Paul's got me a Stitch ornament from WDW and some Victoria Beckham perfume

What are you hoping for Sandy ? Are Christopher and Ian after Dr. Who stuff ?

 

[sandym]

We don't usually exchange gifts. I make him whatever he chooses for Christmas dinner and the kids get us small gifts, but that's it.

Hi guys

Yup I'm still around. DD's birthday is this Friday then It's full steam ahead to Christmas. I plan to put up the tree this weekend. I just love Christmas.

As far as gifts go this year since DD is in grade one at a Catholic school she is really learning what Christmas is all about so has since told me that she doesn't want any gifts since it is Jesus's birthday. Works for me!!!

 

[mandymouse]

Woohoo !! It's Only 5 Weeks till Christmas

Or

35 Days !!!
