After Eight mints...

So after dinner you can all play the game where you place a mint on your forehead and you have to move it down using only your facial muscles until you can eat it

I have some great photos of my parents (both in their 70's) doing this last year

Christmas cake! If no one likes it, invite me and I'll eat it cos I'm a pig

Mrs Presley I am intrigued, does it not just fall off?

oddslippers

No, you tilt your head back slightly and make all sorts of faces trying to move it down, If your not quick enough it starts to melt of course we didnt tell mum and dad that

It's great fun!

Oh yes i have the after eights in my trolley, but never heard of that game. does one tip ones head back to 'secure' said mint upon forehead?

Mrs Presley - best played by an open fire!

what about starters? Bread? stuff for breakfast on Christmas morning? Or are you only getting lunch on this shop?

I like the sound of that after 8 game!

Foil.
Something for breakfast.

oh yes breakfast! No I am doing about a weeks shop, but was thinking more of xmas, boxing day really, as there is always something missing and out in the sticks here, we have no chance of a corner shop being open for a couple hours christmas morn.

Foil, of course!

Some nice salady stuff to go with the ham on Boxing Day, after all the stodgy the day before salad is always nice.

Do you have lots of guests coming over? Loo rolls? You can never have too many!

Nibbles for Boxing Day, chutney/pickles to go with the ham.

Baileys-flavoured cream or dessert sauce also nice in coffee

Extra black sacks perhaps.

I now need some After Eight Mints.

Nuts?
Echo the boring practical stuff like loo roll, kitchen towel, bin bags, washing up liquid, matches...
Onions, always onions.
Chutney for cheeseboard

bin bags
loo roll
paracetamol

Sprouts ?? Or do they come under the heading of blah blah ?

We always have bubble and squeak and cold meats on Boxing Day so I would add a cabbage to that list .

Brandy butter to spread on the Christmas cake (yum)

trumpton = the sprouts are deffo under the blah blah
bin bags yes, v important
got loo roll

Schloer

Ibuprofen
Pickles
Fruit juice.

Booze. And fruit juice.

You have no sauces!! on with the boots back out in the snow to the only all night grocery , when what to my weary eyes does appea- oh my! It's that guy ive been chasing all year! I say hi you what are you...... Did you forget cranberries too?!

Then they laughed a bit and it was happy ending apparently [too much wine possibly ]

Napkins?

Just added foil to my shop! Lots of food bags/cling for left overs!
