mostin Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I am most definately with you Mostinbah humbug Thanks Kate, I love the idea of it all, curled by fire with significant other, glass of mulled wine, snow falling, cat purring, church bells ringing softly across the fields, carols on the radio. But then.... knock, knock, at the door, FAMILY!!! I won't even go into the details as this could fill a whole other thread but just let me say that my husbands mother is the eldest of 14! and some factions of his family are still not talking to some of the others due to yellow not being accepted as the answer to Trivial Persuits question "What colour is the centre circle of an archery board?". The correct answer was "gold!" and it was for a piece of pie. The game has not been played since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I had the stove lit last night as it was cold. I hate being cold It's not too clever here today, cool and pouring with rain, mind you, we've not had any rain for ages. As usual the sun is beating down here in Dorset. Wait............did I say sun? I meant rain Still havent had the heating on - we are great believers in "self insulation" (lots of warm layers outside and a glass of warming red wine inside ) Cant wait until we get to light the fire though.

chickenanne Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 ooh, no, winter isn't "coming early"... it's already here!!!! It's SEPTEMBER (just) - what is going on ??!! Doesn't help that we have no central heating (yet), only a woodburner. Ah well, chopping logs keeps you warm, too, I s'pose.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'll be able to start the christmas thread soon On one of the parenting forums I frequent the Christmas forum has been going for several weeks and lots of people have finished shopping and wrapped everything!
