    Mine's more like razors in my throat :( Wondering if it's something like strep throat as so many of the kids I'm teaching were so unwell last week with very bad coughs :(

    Oh no fingers crossed. My toddler is finally getting over his, we actually managed to get back into our own bed for a night after six days of temps and coughing. I was signed off work by the doc for exhaustion/stress and now I’m actually physically sick too. Bah.

    Bring on the Christmas!

    Okay, I think I am done shopping, but now I have a panic that surely I have forgotten someone.

    I never know what to get my Mum, got here a christmas hamper, that's okay right?

    Jellybear, I have been crippled in the past with strep/sore throats and found cutting dairy out for a week and having manuka honey in warm water (not boiling as it kills all the goodness) to really help. Not sure there is any scientific back up to this but it works.

    We had a no tv night so after the run we sat out the back and had mince pies (GF) and ice cream. I started reading The Autobiography of Santa Claus. Seems fun so far even with quite a few mentions of Jesus, but in fairness it is meant to be his birthday. Anywho i will keep you elves posted on the book.

    I have to collect the OHs car today following crash repairs, I will have the Christmas FM app on, the first Christmas tunes of the year!! What time does it launch though?

    I think Last Christmas would be nice as a little tribute to George Michael.

    Just went to set up christmas FM on my desktop so I'd be all set for 1pm to be met by a warning from our IT that streaming is no longer permitted & the site is blocked...

    talk about bah humbug! Will just have to use my phone & the company wifi (that doesn't block it) instead!

    Everything is blocked here (bar boards ssshhh!), I barely see any pics posted by others. No social media etc so if someone puts a link to twitter etc then its no dice. Ditto if using the wifi on your phone.

    Christmas grocery shop tonight. Trolley full of quality street.

    Hot chocolate in front of me, a bit early I know as it will never make it the next 75 mins, but I will be humming along to whatever they decide to play.

    Thankfully no. But that's because I won't get to listen to Christmas FM at 1.

    Don't know if my hormones are going crazy or what but when It's Christmas Time came on Christmas FM I nearly burst into tears. Not ideal as I was driving. I think it's a combination of it being such a high octane happy song and remembering last Christmas eve when it was my earworm when I heard Rick Parfitt had died and Carrie Fisher had a heart attack.

    On the plus side my car radio picks up Christmas FM.

    For the Disney fans (DisneyDiva I'm looking at you!!) ... the Disney store have the princess decorations reduced from €17 to €12.75 at the moment. You can also buy a box of 10 princess decorations for €130 ... would be worth paying the extra €2.50 to keep them safe!!!
