Twinkly lights

It’s so grey and gloomy with persistent rain I am going to put up some twinkly lights. I might even wrap some Christmas presents. If only I had some Baileys.
What are you doing on this rainy day?

Running around like a headless chicken but I enjoyed reading your day, can you not pop out for some Baileys?

Bailey’s is currently £11 for the 1l bottle at Tesco.

I think you should go and get 2.

(I did 😀)

Baileys on offer at Sainsbury's too 💗

Unfortunately my car has developed a serious fault - ?timing belt issue, gutted as it’s not that many miles since it was replaced. I’m also just about recovered from having the flu but still a bit wobbly. (Maybe I don’t need the Baileys 😂)
DH has gone to get groceries but I didn’t mention Baileys. Maybe ds will pop out for me.

Putting up my Christmas decorations!!! Unusually early for me but needed something to cheer up with this miserable weather

You are my people! I’m now watching Food Network for Christmas food - even though I’m very traditional and cook the same food every year. Hosting 10-12 on Christmas Eve and 10 Christmas morning (present opening and breakfast pastries) then turkey and beef for dinner. Wine and chocolate for me when guests leave about 4pm. Or should I say more wine 😂

I third or fourth the Baileys!!! I’m loving it on offer but oh is it dangerous - I love it with a big glass of ice. We keep ours in the fridge. We only drink it at this time of year… but because it’s on offer we’ve been through about 4 bottles so far!!!! 🙄
Anyway, back to this weekend 🤪 I did some Christmas shopping this morning, currently have the house to myself so I’ve got the shopping laid out so I can tick off and list who I still need do buy for. I know I sound like a right Grinch, but I want it all done and wrapped so I can then relax rather than leaving the wrapping until Christmas Eve!
Cooking fajhitas for tea and I’m sure Baileys will be involved somewhere 😆

I did actually put on our twinkly lights and wrap presents. Most are wrapped now. It feels a bit early
