What are you up to while chatting on Gransnet?

Having a pre-party drink! My DH, though immensely practical is a great believer (eventually) in the "sod it" (hope I'm allowed to type that) principle, and I concur.

Jingl our party will be just as good as JessM's (won't it, Jess) and you will be able just to be yourself. Which we will all enjoy. Cheers!

Hilda, I LOVE it on your profile where you say (what she does) "whatever I fancy".

Love it, love it, love it.

Ask Jess if I can dance with her sexy DH.

jingl, perhaps we can find that fire-eating woman with the albino python to make it more like Jess's 'do'.

That was to Golden as well.

Hilda (((hug)))

Annobel - I wanna go to one like Jess did. [pout] [sulk]

oh jingle, you should see the mess I'm making......I'm hardly 'together' its my way of keeping busy, especially as now it's just started snowing and I shall be doing my 'worry wort' act till I hear DH's key in door!

jingle come to the party, take your mind off the Christmas preparations. I have still got lots to do as we are renting a house in Norfolk and are going in a week. The whole family is coming and my house is littered with stuff not quite done-but hey let's go party jingl

jingl, put on your party frock and hail a passing Tardis! It's still over a week to Christmas!

Hilda, you sound so 'together'!!

I could actually do a five minute walk!!! That sounded bad!

It's only laziness.

I am having my usual Christmas breakdown today.

The living room is covered in pine needles (it's a "needlefast tree" fgs!! ), cardboard boxes, and various bits of Xmas tat accumulated through too many garden centre visits.

The dining table, the spare bed and a fair bit of floor space is covered in unwrapped Chrissie pressies (mostly for grandkids). And I just want a mince pie and the Co-op is a five minute walk away. I can't do five minutes!!

There's the cake to marzipan and ice, and the homemade pastries still to do.

I was really organised at the beginning of November. Or so I thought.

Miles to go before I sleep....... (unless I hit the bottle of Christmas rum now)

Even though we live in a supported housing apartment last year when we had a new kitchen fitted the partnership let us decide where the units and workspace were to be fitted for our best convienience,the fitter very kindly fitted me a small worktop space between fridge/freezer and sink where I can place my laptop and fit a nice gas lift stool so I can do any cooking and keep watch as to what is going on on GN,I did not arrange it on purpose honestly,so I am now cooking the chilli for dinner tonight and keeping up with what is going on in the GNers world,sorted

Am having a 'me' day today whilst DH has popped to the Metropolis and wont be back till well past my bed-time. So am doing all those messy little pre-Chrimbo jobs that you think only take a few mins but actually take all day...marzipanning cake, making stuffing (it then goes in freezer till C.eve.) wrapping his pressies etc etc. As I wont have to do any real meals today have the freedom to live in a mess all day. Beans on toast for lunch is almost a treat and having nibbled few bits of marzipan (rest of the off cuts I've made into 'potatoes') my sugar levels are pretty high!

How's your heart rate now jings? I think you need to put your feet up until the party tonight - and leave the 'sorting out'/housework type stuff until you're feeling better. This is what you need now: .

I've just sorted out the airing cupboard. Found bath mats that went missing months ago. Bit out of sorts at the moment so came on here while heart rate gets back to normal!

harrigran

I'm with Harrigran - (although I don't have a pet millionaire at the moment). A while after I'd had my new kitchen installed I was complimented on how clean it was and asked if I had any hints on how to keep it so clean. My reply was 'Do as little cooking as possible!'

Right now I'm flitting between sites trying to choose my new laptop; the one with a microphone and webcam so that I'm ready for next year's singalong.

Oven pride !! I would have to put gloves on and actually do some work.
No jingl DH is far too old to be a footballer but he is a millionaire and I am very kind to him

harri oven pride is cheaper

You have to admit you have a problem to face up to your addiction so no I dont have a problem spending 23.5 hours a day on Gransnet

Once, I shut the door on my 'puter room and piled several items of furniture in front of it.

I dismantled it all though.

harrigran! You get a new cooker every time yours get dirty?!!!

Are you a footballer's wife?!

I'm glad this came up because I've been wondering if I'm addicted to Gransnet. I must come on to the website at least ten times a day to have a look at what is being said. It's so interesting. Usually, I'm sitting drinking tea or eating a sandwich at the same time.
