Just finishing up for the week.

Still miserable out there here so think it will be movie with the kids.

Have a good one guys and hopefully weather improves!

Day Lewin · 18-09-2021 10:59pm

Ordered two Newbridge ornaments. Quite dear but I could not resist.

Now I can't wait for them to arrive - oh the excitement!!

TRS30 · 22-09-2021 4:52pm

Finishing up today till next Tuesday.

Is folks 50th wedding anniversary tomorrow so heading down to a big AirBnB house in the sunny south east for a few days with the extended family. Is Elf 1's birthday as well so double celebration. Plan to eat and drink way too much 😀

Probably wouldn't be online much so catch up next week folks.

Autosport · 22-09-2021 9:58pm

Enjoy and drink and eat plenty 👍🍻🍻

Loughc · 24-09-2021 2:04pm

It's Friday!!!!!! And it's 3 months to Christmas Eve!

DvB · 24-09-2021 2:27pm

Just had a delivery from Dunnes Stores with a load of Christmas stuff that the Mrs ordered. Then whilst making a coffee she showed me how much we've already organized for the 2 kids, other than the 2 big presents we're 90% done with them both. So well on track this year, which I admittedly didn't see happening a couple of weeks ago where we both felt we were behind in comparison to previous years.

Really starting to feel the vibes now. If that's not enough to cheer me up I don't know what is!!😁 Oh yeah, this day week is October!!!

CheerLouth · 24-09-2021 4:09pm

Heading for away on a spa night with my best friend! We've been planning it for about two years and it's finally HERE!!!!!!! 🤩🍹🎉

Guess who hasn't had a break from my kids in forever 🤣

Littlehorny · 26-09-2021 10:52am

Just back from a few days away. Mrs littlehorny was 50 last week so took the week off work and relaxed for once.

Batteries are charged and ready to get through the next few weeks till the Christmas break comes around. 👍️

Posy · 26-09-2021 3:26pm

Oh that's nice- it's good to recharge the batteries and come at the season fresh! 🙂

I've a week off in late November, so I'm hoping that will help me unwind and relax a bit before the December rush!!

DvB · 27-09-2021 5:06pm

TRS30 · 01-10-2021 5:37pm

Laptop about to be turned off till Monday. Sun is shining and not too much planed for the weekend so hopefully have some nice downtime.

Have a good one guys.

Littlehorny · 02-10-2021 9:16am

Hope you have a great weekend TRS, in fact hope everyone has a great weekend! :)

Had a bit of lie on and the plan is to head over to The Range in Maynooth to check out their Christmas stuff 🎄

Posy · 02-10-2021 6:42pm

I've turned the heat back on, and put the electric blanket back on my bed. I'm ready. 😁

Autosport · 03-10-2021 10:52am

It was Mama Auto’s birthday yesterday and we had a little party 🎉

Been a lot cooler this past few mornings and the heating is back on in the car going to work 😊

This!!!!! 🤩

TRS30 · 08-10-2021 4:53pm

Great taste CL, love RHCPs.

Just finishing up for another week. Mon to Fri seems to go in a blur these day.

Another quiet one planned so hope to get some family time in and some stuff done around the house.

Have a good one guys.

Littlehorny · 10-10-2021 9:05pm

Everyone in the house had to get a Covid test last Friday as we were a close contact and of course we all felt like we had colds.

Anyway good news is, of the 5 of us only one tested positive and he is grand, just feels like he has a mild cold.

The one that has it is our oldest son and he is a healthy 27 year old and I'm all for freedom of choice but I think because we are all fully vaccinated it meant that (a) we didn't catch the virus and (b)our son is not too sick with it.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and stay safe.

Jude13 · 11-10-2021 7:11am

We had tests too, our wee one (2.5 year old) had the runs for a few days. We got the all clear from C19 but she had another virus doing the rounds. She was so quiet and tired it scared the pants off us. No stranger to illness as the eldest elf spent her first 3 months in ICU/hospital but it was still tough. But she is back to creche today so we are delighted.

Mid-term this weekend and we are off on a few days away. Can't wait to be in a plane and airport again.

DvB · 11-10-2021 7:34am

Enjoy the break Jude.

Enjoy the time off. You've had a lot o your plate so downtime is extra important.

DvB · 15-10-2021 3:39pm

So glad its Friday, been a tough week. Looking forward to logging off, heading to the match tonight and then we have a hurling match tomorrow morning & my nephews birthday get together tomorrow evening... might squeeze a pale ale or 2 in there at some stage too... its been well earned.

Have a good weekend y'all!! Less than 10 weeks after tomorrow!

TRS30 · 15-10-2021 3:47pm

Enjoy mate, sounds like a nice weekend.

pigtail33 · 15-10-2021 3:54pm

Hope everyone has a nice weekend. There aren't too many 'out of season' weekends left.

Autosport · 22-10-2021 8:12am

Someone went a bit mad with the lights 😂😂 @DvB @Loughc @Posy

oooh, dunno about that one.... loving the volume, coordination a little off, though I like the scattergun approach myself... but my Mrs would go nanas at that 😀

Littlehorny · 22-10-2021 9:59am

My wife is the same, all white lights and they have to be the "right" shade of white i.e warm white. Bright white or Ice white won't do :)

Happy Friday Everyone and it's a Bank Holiday !!!

Do we all have the same wife?!?!

tscul32 · 22-10-2021 4:10pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118057724#Comment_118057724

I don't have a wife but my husband does. She likes warm white icicles outside too. But likes coloured lights elsewhere and doesn't do "colour schemes".

Loughc · 22-10-2021 6:49pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118057724#Comment_118057724

WE must do as my wife is the same. 😂

DvB · 22-10-2021 7:17pm

Guys, what a week, reckon I did 60+ hours in work and today was crazy... trying to get stuff sorted before taking next week off... Sat down now, just poured a guinness and ready to relax... gym was the plan but decided to leave it until tomorrow, just too tired.

Loughc · 22-10-2021 7:30pm

Enjoy the Guinness mate. Well earned!!

tscul32 · 22-10-2021 8:30pm

Lemsip with whiskey for me tonight. Probably not officially a good idea but I've an awful sinusy head cold and I sleep so well after that drink....
