GH Get Ahead For Xmas 2018 magazine

Bought this magazine yesterday and really like it.

There's a couple of things that are on their calendar which are later than I'd do them.

The get ahead recipes are great though. All fairly straight forward and a lot of them are crowd pleaders so perfect for entertaining.

Has anyone else bought it?

Fluffy - I bought the Irish Countrywomen’s Association Christmas book and Jamie’s book because of that thread! Jamie’s vegan gravy is epic by the way.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 17/08/2018 07:27

Jeez I never knew they did a Get Ready For Xmas one!!! I basically live for their December issue. I must find this magazine.

NoWordForFluffy · 17/08/2018 07:57

Oh yes, Viva, I remember that book being mentioned too. Is it good?

RuggerHug · 17/08/2018 10:32

VivaJen I think other people suggested it as well but I definitely recommended the Irish countrywomans one. That thread was amazing....if damaging on the wallet.

sigh

Bought it today, loving it! So many great recipes. Beef stew and dumplings looks soooo good as an autumn recipe.

SassitudeandSparkle · 17/08/2018 14:51

We have a weekend away in a different city, I will renew my search. I know it's only August but I want it now footstampy

VivaJen · 17/08/2018 15:04

@RuggerHug it was a brilliant recommendation! @NoWordForFluffy it's such a lovely book, there are lots of recipes (although I haven't tried any!) but I love the memories of Christmas from the members where they talk about getting the "Christmas Box" from the local grocer or going out to find the Yule log - it just makes you feel all cosy and Christmassy.

QueenOfIce · 17/08/2018 15:06

Found it!!! Have squirrelled it away for next week when I can enjoy it in peace!

NoWordForFluffy · 17/08/2018 15:06

Viva, I found it on Book People for £8, but it's sold out. I begrudge paying more now I've found that, so will keep looking!

ThatEscalatedQuickly · 17/08/2018 15:39

Anyone managed to get it in ROI? If I mutter for fucks sake leaving another newsagents I fear it will be the first full sentence uttered from the buggy.

Best bet is a large Easons. All else failing you'll get it in the Dublin O'Connell St one. A decent newsagent should be able to order it in for you as well.

A decent newsagent should be able to order it in for you as well.

I did the rounds of my European capital the other day without success. I was well aware that Waterstones or the two other major bookshops could have ordered it for me, bjt I was too embarrassed to ask for it in mid-August Grin Maybe in another month hahaha!!!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 17/08/2018 16:47

Just went to sainsburys especially and they didn’t have it Sad

NextInLine · 18/08/2018 16:25

Managed to pick one up from W H Smiths today Grin

AmazingGrace16 · 19/08/2018 17:20

Seems I need to search harder for it. Can't find it anywhere!!! Has anyone got a picture of the cover?

NoWordForFluffy · 19/08/2018 18:36

Here you go.

You wouldn't think it'd be so damn hard, would you?

NoWordForFluffy · 19/08/2018 18:36

Ooh. Photo didn't come through. Hmm.

Thank you!!!

SassitudeandSparkle · 20/08/2018 17:15

I managed to get this today from W H Smiths - not London though!

RuggerHug · 22/08/2018 19:33

FINALLY got it in ROI. Thank you to whoever said M&S!!!

NoWordForFluffy · 22/08/2018 20:11

Whoop. At least everyone's getting it now. Xmas Grin

Flatpackfurniturecompanyone · 22/08/2018 20:48

Not me, I scoured the racks at a train station newsagent yesterday but.... nothing.

I’ll sit tight until the first week of September before I ask Waterstones to order it in for me Grin

WhatWouldLeslieKnopeDo · 23/08/2018 13:16

Just ordered the Irish Countrywomen's Association book of Christmas. I'm so easily led Blush thank you for the recommendation VivaJen and RuggerHug

flatpackfurniturecompanyone · 23/08/2018 13:50

Oh stop it, I've got 3 Christmas books here already Grin

I'm not looking it up until at LEAST September!

AdoraBell · 23/08/2018 15:34

They have some in my local WH Smith’s. I’m still trying to decide if I need it or it’s just to make me feel pressured.
