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 ?????

Do they still sell sugar mice?

If I could only buy one thing it would be nice soft drinks as not got those yet. Have been adding things to shopping for a few week to ensure we have nice treats in should stock etc be an issue.

@OddSockReunion I'll chip in a tenner to pay for the Crocodile.

Mine would be someone else to do the washing up. No point asking DH unless you like mugs with no handles and chipped plates.

Harvey's Bristol cream for dm to tip half a bottle in the trifle!

@OddSockReunion

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: 🐊

😂 My 4yo blames everything on Boris Johnson! I'm not discouraging it!

Top priority is the ham.
Then the sausages in bacon.
Then the roasties.

Already got the chocolate coins for the stockings Grin.

The rest I can live without. I might take a walk to the shop tomorrow and see if I can get those, so I have something to look forward to when everything goes tits up.

And my 13-yr old blames most things on 'bloody Greta Thunberg' since his whole day of sport last term was cancelled for a climate change extravaganza. He still hasn't forgiven her.

Thanks Mercy and Ducks the main thing is they are safe. They have managed to move to the North Island and have been allowed to extend their Visa and are now working. Have accommodation in a youth hostel which one has a job in and it covers their rent.

Pavlova - 3 tiers with different fruits on each layer. My boys have decided they have room for this but not Christmas Pudding. Only one likes CPud. So for the last three years I have made Pavlova which is what I had as a kid.

Turns out dc will have less than six months on their passports, so we need passports sourced while overseas!

Tin of Roses
Champagne
Boxing Day sandwich ingredients.

My daughter has a plan which will save Christmas. She says that she will lure the "silly man" (Boris Johnson) to a lake and push him in and he'll be eatem by a crocodile.

Ta da! 🎄⛄️❄️🎅🏼⭐️
