This time of year, it is very noticeable after the weekend. Had to put the light on this morning when I got up shortly after 7. Although it's a pretty grey, dull day out there today.

Fair play, I haven't been up before 8 since before covid hahahahaha.

Loving the start to Fall/Winter. Only last night I was sitting in my kitchen with the stove on, drinking whiskey in the dark. It was bliss.

Tis going to be the season, hopefully.

Lets hope it gives Christmas events enough time to get organised and we get back some of the things we love!

Morning Elves I hope you are all well, you all and Christmas haven’t been far from my mind

Looking forward to catching up on threads and experiencing all the hype with you guys this year Xx

I haven’t been up to much since I last posted just adjusting to motherhood, enjoying been at home, experiencing things as a family and watching my little girl grow before my eyes, who is turning 6 months on Sunday, the time has just went

TRS30 · 31-08-2021 10:02AM

Good to hear all going well Sarah. Elf one is 7 in a couple of weeks and only seems the other day we were bring her home from the hospital 😯

CheerLouth · 31-08-2021 10:06AM

Morning all, back to the grindstone after two wonderful weeks off! Had a total disconnect from everything and it was just lovely to spend time with the family. We had a lovely family holiday in Killarney and the mini elves went back to school/creche yesterday so we are all systems go and back to the routine now :) And ready to focus on getting ready for Christmas!

TRS30 · 31-08-2021 10:59AM

Sounds great CL, good to hear you had a nice time.

The Christmas stock is now up on the UK version of the M&S website

https://www.marksandspencer.com/MSFindItemsByKeyword?searchTerm=christmas&intid=normal&langId=-24&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&categoryId=0

Still nothing on the .ie site though 🙁 A lot of new products this year. They seemed to have the exact same stock the last few years, so it's good to see something different.

Woohooo!!!!

antimatterx · 31-08-2021 05:55PM

Part of me is terrified we've reached September, but this time of year onwards is my favorite part of the year.

I have this irrational nagging feeling that I should be buying Christmas presents!!

31-08-2021 06:10PM

I've been racking my brain trying to decide what I'd like to put on my Christmas wish list 😆

Autosport · 31-08-2021 06:17PM

A friend of mine was the The Range today and they were putting out there Christmas stock 🎅🧑‍🎄🤶

Its getting closer 😄

Littlehorny · 31-08-2021 07:21PM

Also September and November are two "short" months (30 days) so it's just going to fly in 😃

Indestructable · 31-08-2021 07:42PM

Hopefully now we can get some Christmas events and shows running this year. I went to Taste at Christmas in the RDS a few years ago and it was a great day out.

Looking forward to something similar this year and promised myself I would be doing lots this year to make up for the lack of festivities last year!!

Hubby just got home from our local Tesco and told me they have the Christmas tubs in...he nearly bought the celebrations. Nearly?!?...amateur!!🤣

Happy September!! 😁

DenMan · 01-09-2021 12:46AM

Hey guys, hope you're all keeping well.

Apologies for not being on in quite a while. Between starting a new job (which I really enjoy) and the new Boards layout I've been really busy. I've actually started to bookmark certain Boards pages so I don't get lost in the new configuration (this brilliant one included). Into the 'ber months now, so hard to believe!

freshpopcorn · 01-09-2021 02:04AM

Well I suppose it's acceptable now to say it's Autumn everywhere.(After Hours).

Happy September everybody and welcome to the BER months.

Double digits this month and we won't miss it now with the stuff arriving in the shops.

Jude13 · 01-09-2021 06:46AM

Feelings right now

I assume it acceptable to start saying 'Happy Christmas' to people you meet now 😀

Posy · 01-09-2021 08:51AM

Of course it is! 😁😁

Congrats on the new job, DenMan- glad to hear you're enjoying it!

Loughc · 01-09-2021 09:03AM

Welcome to the Ber months everyone. Definitely felt more birr this morning too.

CheerLouth · 01-09-2021 09:14AM

The 'Ber months are here! 😍 We've so much on this month with birthdays, we're going to Centre Parcs, I'm having a girls night away with a friend and then it'll be October & sure Hallowe'en and sure then it's November and we all know that Nov 1st is really Go For Launch so it'll actually be Christmas in the blink of an eye! It simultaneously exhilarating and alarming!

TRS30 · 01-09-2021 10:53AM

Elf2's first day of big school. His bag is nearly bigger then he is!! Mum more nervous then him!!!
