Amid all the hysteria about 10 days to save Christmas - you've got one chance to buy one thing .... what's it gonna be?

My choice - Giant Bag of Choc Coins .... or 4 sugar mice for stocking toes

DH - Xmas Hamper incl sherry.

Your choice ?????

Maybe no one cares .... (apart from news outlets and "retail industry")

Will old reruns of Morecombe and Wise on BBC be enough?

DMIL have one full day off. She's worked 16hrs a day every day for 8 solid months so it really would save it.

Cheese.

Xmas is not Xmas without a huge cheeseboard appearing at least once per day.

MercyBooth · 27/09/2021 00:31

No but i remember when they first came out...............1994 I got addicted to the bloody things.

M&S chocolate coins.

Christmas cake. Christmas isn’t Christmas in our house without binge watching father ted/ vicar of dibley/ Phoenix nights with a mug of tea and a slab of Christmas cake. I should make my own but that requires being way more on the ball than I am!

Questionable essentials: Watching The snowman
Drinking Prosecco
Having the fire on
Cheeseboard
Chocolates
Essential: Time with family Prosecco n cheese
Everything else is just fluff imo

Two tickets from New Zealand to Glasgow so I can have DD and her partner home for Christmas. They went travelling and then Covid hit and they haven’t been able to get home.

My preschooler says: "The silly man falling in the lake and being eaten by a crocodile".

The "silly man" is Boris Johnson. She has seen him on TV and doesn't like him. She is a good judge of character and I would not put it past her to engineer the crocodile situation: 🐊

Cheese

We are going home for the first time in three years. ( Covid has shut our border for two years)
Can't wait to see family and eat British food!
