The house is full of lovely things to eat and drink, and I can't have any of it

[UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea]

Because it's for Christmas . Not for now.

WIBU to just have a little bit of port-Stilton-chocolate liqueurs-kettle chips-mince pies-champagne-brandy butter?

I am opening some Christmas wine ...I finished work today so it IS Christmas

Well if YABU then IABU because I had the Christmas food delivered today and very large mice seem to have got at it

Yes. Anticipation is everything.

Glass of Champagne - salted cashews - mint chocolates mmm

I've opened the sherry and a tub of Pringles

Captain . You have named my 3 favourite things.

I made a sly dash for the kitchen earlier for a mince pie and some clotted cream and DH barred my way. Apparently Christmas doesn't start until Saturday.

I've dug out the nutcracker and am going to town. I'll just decant the nuts into a decorative bowl before OH gets home and remark on how little value for money nuts are these days

I have to stay out of Our xmas stash of goodies, otherwise that would give dp and ds free reign and it would all be gone before Tues!

Oh, and the cupboard has been full for 3 weeks and im 22 weeks pg... Im so proud of myself

Yes of course Unexpected, just have a tiny little bit of something to get in the mood, and to test it to make sure it is good enough for Christmas.

Happy Christmas

Dig in! Christmas isnt just one day enjoy the season and crack open the goodies (hide from the children though )

We have no xmas food because we ate it all :o

Right, port and Stilton are being breached!

DH is grumbling but not refusing his glass

Happy Christmas

wannabe have you also eaten the Christmas hats from your smilies?

I've been secretly replacing things I've got at all week... Unfortunately the shop has almost run out of mini mince pies, so I will have to stop eating them before I can't replace them again .

Mine has been full for aaaaaaaaages! I'm amazed I have held out this long. It should be in Guinness book of work records if I'm honest. Just amazing!

Scoff it and blame greedy burglars.

Bottle of wine cracked and cheese scoffed, must go buy replacement cheese tomorrow. And biscuits for cheese
Bugger it Chrimbo and a sick DH sick dog and numpty colleagues means I am worth it (right now)

Call the police and everything

Strewth, you lot are really organised. I'll be getting Christmas food over the weekend. Only started gift buying today. Don't see what the rush is to be honest.

I'm not allowed either DP doesn't allow any eating of christmas food until he's finished work for christmas because it's not fair apparently. So we can't start until Friday (or sunday if you want to be picky as that's when his gritting week is over but there's no guarantee he'll be going out).

To be honest I don't actually mind it. I'm proud of my willpower to not eat and replace

Just eat/drink it! And enjoy!

I also have bought the Christmas drink but no mixers yet, so I have gin but no tonic. Have done this on purpose.

Asda do own brand - bloody good too - individual choc orange segments. Have replaced the box twice all ready. And the cashews.

Just bought Lindt chocolates from Costco.
Have put them away.

Well DH has put them away.

It's killing me

My celebrations have been kept in the boot for ages but alas I did Xmas shopping today and so far have had 2 mince pies a few baileys and half a bottle of red. Keep remembering I have work tomorrow and feeling surprised
