Bimbos unite!

Hi Bimbos! I hope you are all ok and feeling better today.

I am back from a busy weekend.

I visited a good friend of mine and it was great to see her again - but driving in all this snow is really hard. I am already so sick of winter. It is really stressful living the normal life with this weather.

I have made a plan for 2011:
I will buy myself a bracelet by Pandora after christmas and every month of the new year I will buy one more charm for it. This way I can make myself a little present every month, something that will grow and be with me the whole year. I think 2011 should become better than 2010 for me.

Have a good start of the new week tomorrow!! And drive safely if you have to,

Oooh! I love pandora! I have one! hehe! yays It will be a good year!

Sorry I've been away! This time of the year just gets crazy! Dad was down with the flu 2 days ago he was giddy & could not move at all, he was so sick he had to be admitted to a&e, he is fine now!

^^ The flu must be very bad to make him feel dizzy! Hope he get a good rest before the holidays!

Susanne, I love the Pandora bracelet idea! I had a good look at their products recently as it just arrived at a counter in a department store I frequent. They have different chains to choose from, from gold, silver to leather. I love the look of their murano glass charms! I thought of buying a bracelet for myself too but I don't wear bracelets. Do you? Do forget to share pics of your bracelet and charms!

How about Thomas Sabo, Susanne? It is from Germany and their charm bracelets are popular here too.

my only plan for next year is to loose weight and get fit again - i feel so crappy recently and it's because i've not been doing any exercise at all! mianly due to being s busy at work 6 days a week, when i get home i'm in no mood to do a work out dvd or anything. but this will change in the new year! i'm thinking of getting a diary as well to use as a food log so i can keep track of everything i eat and drink. somebody has really inspired me recently and there is no excuse why i can't do what she has done.

Thanks. I went to see the doctor and he didn't give me antibiotics but normal cold med, which is a good sign - perhaps my cold is not too bad and will go away quickly.

Sorry to hear that your gifts have not arrived. Yeah it is sad that people can't receive their gifts for Christmas.

Go for it, Lou! You will feel more energetic once you get into the routine! We will cheer on you.

My plan for this year was to get physically and mentally strong and I do think that I am slightly better off as compared to 2009, although I'm sick now. I will think about what I want for 2011. Thanks for sharing, Bimbos!

I agree, I also love the murano glass charms! I will buy at least two for my bracelet I think. I will share pics with you of my growing bracelet!

At school I don't wear bracelets - also no rings for working with my students. I don't want to hurt anyone or myself. But during my private time I do.

Yes, Thomas Sabo is also very popular here, too. But I personally prefer Pagoda.

Have a great new week you all! More snow here......

yes the glass charms are very pretty! and they come in so many pretty colours!! and i dont wear jewelery to work either - for me it's about catching things on boxes or something though, not hurting children.

Hi ladies! I hope your weekend was a great one. We had some visitors coming from the US last Friday. Hubby and I spent the entire weekend with them. They're really nice people. We did our some Christmas shopping yesterday and I think we're pretty close to having everyone's presents ready. I'll do the wrapping tonight.

I've been so busy in December and was supposed to bake the Christmas fruitcakes a week ago but I just didn't have the time! I'll have to do it today after work - baking both gingerbread and fruitcakes! Fruitcakes aren't a Czech thing but it is a must for my family on Christmas. M&S is the only store I could find decent fruitcakes but I prefer to bake my own

Hi Susanne,

The Pandora charm brecelet sounds like a great idea!

 

[Miss QQ]

Susanne, I look forward to seeing your bracelet. This is exciting!

Thanks. I hope the meds are driving your cold away as soon as possible! Maybe it is the bad weather plus some cold virus circulately.

Yes, the glass charms look so colourful! The chain of my necklace broke in my office once and the pendant was lost. Luckily I managed to find it but it was so much work. You definitely don't want your precious jewellery getting caught and worse, breaking.

yeah i think it would be aweful to lose an item of jewelery esp if it has alot of personal meaning - which most of mine does because it was bought at certain times of my life by nick. i dont even wear my engagement ring to work in case one of the diamonds gets knocked out or something! so i just wear my wedding band.

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ I don't like to wrap presents too but I try my best to make them look neat at least. lol

I'm back at work today and have to put up with rubbish and arrogant attitude from my troublesome co-worker again. What a downer! But I will keep my spirits up. I have to work only in the morning on Christmas eve! Do you ladies get half a day off too?

I look at the Yankee Candle website and they have so many different fragrances. The Christmas Cookie sounds like it smells heavenly. :drools:

lol! well i try and make them look good - it just doesnt happen! and i'm sorry your co-working is being a pain again - not the time of year to be dealing with that carp - it's Christmas week for goodness sakes! and on Christmas eve we still have to work 9am - 5pm so only 30 minutes less than usual - and of course i start work at 8am so an extra hour for me! boo! and christmas cookie candle is my fave!!!

 

[Miss QQ]

Burning the Christmas cookie candle will make me feel hungry for sure. Why do you have to start work earlier? Is it because you are the manager and have to open the store? I'm surprise that you have to work until 5pm on Christmas eve. Are there lots of people who do last minute shopping at your store? Perhaps you get a long break after Christmas? I don't, I start on the following Monday.
Yes, it's Christmas week! I only have one more present to wrap and I'm done! I look forward to my Christmas day dinner with my mum too.

Not to stress myself but I'm thinking of plans for Christmas eve. My family doesn't celebrate Christmas so we don't do anything special. Maybe I can laze in front of the tv and watch a movie.

I don't like troublesome co-workers! I've a few of them, luckily they are sitting in another country! 24-26 Dec are bank holidays here Christmas day and Boxing day fall on a weekend this year, not very cool *lol* I'm taking 23rd Dec off because we're travelling to my in-laws' for Christmas. Back to work on the 28th because I don't have anymore paid holiday left this year!

I'm sure my Yankee candles are still sitting somewhere in an airport in the UK. A lot of flights have been cancelled... *sighs*

My Yankee candles are here! They smell soooooooo nice!

I baked a batch of gingerbread evening, it took me 3 hours! I've eaten like 10 of them by the end of the day... More baking fun tonight.

A Pandora store just open in the nearest mall recently. I'm more like a silver, white gold jewellery type of person. I hope one day they'll bring Tiffany & Co here.

 

[Miss QQ]

I wanted to buy some gingerbread but I forgot. Hopefully I can buy some on Friday after work. Have fun baking! Great that your candles have arrived! I agree, not cool for Christmas Day to be on a Saturday - my holiday is non-existant as I have to work on Friday and on Monday, just like any usual week. Boxing Day isn't a bank holiday here.

Pandora also has a lot of silver jewellery. I love Tiffany & Co! Their advertisements always draw me in and the designs look modern yet classic. I also like van cleefs and arpels but it is extremely pricey. Good only for admiring as works of art.

 

[vintageroses]

^^ I LOVE wrapping present! hehe & i went to smell the yankee candle - christmas cookie! It was yummy! hehe

I love pandora & tiff, I have both & should be using mine more! haha

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Where did you find Yankee christmas cookie? Is it at Takashimaya? I only know they have the candles there, but I'm not sure how big the range is.

 

[Susanne]

Just one more school day tomorrow! Yay!

I really look forward to my vacations. I hope the holidays won't be too stressful with my family and more peaceful this year.

But after I will spend days at home, relaxing, reading, watching TV, being on Specktra.....

I hope I will get my Dell notebook soon (in pink!) that I can play with it, too.

 

[banana1234]

i finish at 6pm christmas eve and am back at work 10 am boxing day

it sucks

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ That doesn't sound good to me too. Hope you have lots of fun this weekend to make up for it!

Susanne, enjoy your holidays! It's exciting getting a new notebook!

Tangs! They have a small section of candles

 

[LMD84]

that sucks majorly! i'm sorry sweetie! and to be honest the only reason why i dont work boxing day is because i refuse to open the shop! do you get extra pay for it?

well yesterday was very busy and crazy at work. i'm ashamed to admit but i lost my temper with members of staff yesterday. things were so busy and they kept asking me to help with things that i know they can do! like i didnt have enough to sort out? i guess we all have to be stern at points right? on the plus side my cold is better today - i'm still sick but not as bad. nick is still off work though! oh and i'm excited to say we're bring our new tv home on xmas eve! and i have bought a nice stand for it to go on as well. i may take some pictures when it is all set up for those who are interested!
