Hmmm could do with some more fibre, what does the rest of the days meals look like?

Sorry...

YABU not to wash it down with a glass of mulled wine.

Add some mini stollens... they are my favourite Xmas food. Can’t wait to have some with a cup of tea tonight.

Is brandby butter on crumpets acceptable? (asking for a friend)

Sparklingbrook · 14/12/2017 13:33

Absolutely. Saw this in the week-made me smile.

I took the executive decision earlier this week to open the christmas biscuits. I have not yet communicated this to the rest of the household, I am just moving the pile of crap on and off the tin whenever I want one and there s no one around to see it. I reckon my mission might be complete by next Monday when the recycling is due and I can dump the tin and then pretend there were never any christmas biscuits.

Kraggle · 14/12/2017 14:00

Ive eaten a bag of mini cheddars and breadsticks and dip for lunch.

soupforbrains · 14/12/2017 14:01

I have just had Lebkuchen and some quality street for my lunch so I'm sure yours is fine.

Sadly am at work so can't wash it down with mulled wine but am about to have some hot ribena...

FaFoutis · 14/12/2017 14:04

YANBU. I had my first Baileys last night and first mince pie today. It has started.

moominsareace · 14/12/2017 14:06

I've just finished off my first box of After Eights (wondering who has eaten some and left just the wrappers so I thought there were more than there were!) :(

MrTrebus · 14/12/2017 15:32

Half a tin of biscuits, my advent calender choc (never too old) my husband's advent calender choc, couple of bits of choc off the tree, some an entire chocolate orange and 2 bags of roast chicken crisps Blush it's December I'll do what I want!

It's actually illegal to turn down a mince pie in December. fake TruFact
after I've squeezed myself into my dress for girls Christmas lunch on Monday I'm falling headfirst into the quality street and not coming up for air till January.

Mulberry72 · 14/12/2017 15:58

DH has been away with work all week. DS(11) and I have had M&S party food for our tea every night, and demolished a tin of Celebrations and the tin of Christmas biscuits that DH has no idea every existed!

No wonder I’m a fat fucker! Grin

abouttimeforanotherone · 14/12/2017 15:59

Our Quality Street has gone already. Can't think how that happened...

Robyrollover · 14/12/2017 16:02

Although now I’m panicking about getting in my party dress on Saturday night!

Does anyone have a 10 man tent I can borrow?? Xmas Grin
