yet....

I use a shopping trolley,

I adore my brand new slow cooker

I'm currently sitting on the sofa, feet up in peace and quiet with a large glass of sherry and a box of chocs

and I'm thinking up excuses not to go to a house party on New Years Eve...

I am aren't I?

I've heard you can cook loads of veggie meals in the SC. Plus you can do a whole chicken without using liquids. Doesn't have to be stews and casseroles...

Whole chicken is lovely in the slow cooker. Or chicken breasts cooked in any number of ways.

HearMyRoar Me too! But there again I am pregnant. Told DP he can carry on off to the party at his DM's but I am sitting in front of the TV with chocolate. Least it means he can drink away without worrying where DD is. I Just CBA this year.

I'm 33. I was convinced 33 was young until the '33 is not young' comment on page 1. Cut me deep that did. Where's the vodka?

Ah thanks for the link will have a read. sounds like a good investment for the christmas money i would otherwise spend on kindle books and itunes. Too go with the sewing box im buying. Where is my youth....seriously. Restoring it a bit by having a sourz and lemonade.

FrazzleRock · 27/12/2012 18:30

Brandon, I had to pour another sherry after that comment. I'm eyeing up the gin now too (thanks Keema)

33 definitely doesn't conjure up youth to me. I always think of 30-45 in the same bracket though.

FrazzleRock · 27/12/2012 18:36

I'm in THAT bracket?!

Fucking norah. That crept up on me.

So what you're saying is, I'm not BU?

30-45 Shock Christ that puts me in the same bracket as dh!! I have never been in the same bracket as him in 8 years together!

Tee2072 · 27/12/2012 18:42

Oh god I'm almost out of that bracket! I'll be 44 in February!

BrandonFlowersHoHoHo · 27/12/2012 18:42

Oh Jesus, I prefer the 30-35 bracket. 40 is a whole new bracket!

Don't know why all my posts come up twice btw. Maybe my old arthritic fingers are clicking too fast!

Yes. YABVVVU. I'm 47 and anyone under 40 is U.

Emandlu · 27/12/2012 18:48

I do all those things OP. I am 36. I've been this way for about 10years at least.

I also am a member of the WI.

If you really want to embrace your inner old lady I recommend it. I have inherited about 35 new grandmas - it's ace! They always refer to me as "the young one" which is great Xmas Grin

GlaikitFizzogTheChristmasElf · 27/12/2012 18:54

My boss asked me if I wanted to join the rural (as the wi is known here) so I could enter the knitting competitions! I also have a slanket

Tee2072 · 27/12/2012 19:08

Oh I have a Slanket. I love my Slanket.

GlaikitFizzogTheChristmasElf · 27/12/2012 19:13

Me too tee! You've stripped your tinsel already!

FrazzleRock · 27/12/2012 19:35

What's a slanket?

Do I need a slanket?

GlaikitFizzogTheChristmasElf · 27/12/2012 19:37

Yes you do, it's a blanket with sleeves!
