Me, a lemon, a bloody fresh lemon.
Not a disaster but every year.
I guess it's not Christmas without something being forgotten.

Eggs, thought we had more in than we did. Not a complete disaster though.

A Vamps CD for DS2! Not a disaster but annoying , it was supposed to go with the tickets!

Mixers!! A gift for my DH aunt who always buys the kids, I hope that's it!

Nothing, but some of the bread I bought on Tuesday wasn't good for today, meaning I had to dust off the breadmaker earlier than anticipated.

Beer! To be fair I don't drink it much but dh will miss it! We have wine, gin and whiskey aplenty but no beer.

A lemon. We even did a extra greengrocer run for tomatoes and advocado today.

Sunnyshine · 24/12/2015 23:26

Crackers Xmas Sad

Brillo/Birdboo - I can provide lemons to you because we have forgotten the smoked salmon, smoked mackerel and brown bread that would go with the lemon for starter.

I can't remember!

Nittyb · 24/12/2015 23:50

Brandy butter ... I'm sure we can live without it, & completely forgotten where I put kids school photos to go in grandparents pressie 😯

MyCatHasStaff · 24/12/2015 23:51

Cranberry juice for the Christmas Kisses cocktails. I'll have to drink the vodka and amaretto separately...

ThatsNotMyHouseItIsTooClean · 24/12/2015 23:52

Branflakes. We have pain au chocolat, croissant and Christmas tree crumpets as well as the usual alternatives of cornflakes, rice krispies & weetabix but 3yo DS is a creature of habit who knows what he likes (about 6 items) and what he does not like (everything else) so he will not be happy & chocolate may not distract him.
I know lovely neighbour has branflakes for breakfast but her DC1 is only 5 months and is under the misapprehension that once her DD sleeps through the night, parenting will be a piece of piss. I see the look she gives me sometimes when DS is tantruming and really don't want her to find put that I abandoned the course.

Chillywhippet · 24/12/2015 23:53

Nuts. I don't mind but they always go in the stockings

ThatsNotMyHouseItIsTooClean · 24/12/2015 23:55

Sorry...DH distracted me there. I really don't want lovely neighbour to find out that Christmas is possibly ruined (well, that there may be a tantrum) simply because I forgot to buy branflakes.

HemanOrSheRa · 24/12/2015 23:55

More farking wrapping paper. Arse and bums. Gah!

GaryGilmoresEyes · 24/12/2015 23:58

Onions but I can open up work tomorrow and grab some!

GaryGilmoresEyes · 25/12/2015 00:01

Oh and tubs of chocolate...

superram · 25/12/2015 00:30

After eights, also due to friends changing plans we are not eating until later so could have gone with smoked salmon for push brunch-toast it is! Will be fine.

ShotgunNotDoingThePans · 25/12/2015 00:34

After Eights here too. Prob just as well, they're like crack cocaine.

unlimiteddilutingjuice · 25/12/2015 00:38

DHs present from me HmmBlush
Its 300 miles away at our house when it should be here, at my Mums place. Poor DH- he would have enjoyed it too.
