What did you forget?

[Fadingmemory]

I forgot to buy crackers, the pulling kind.

To put crackers on the table - remembered at end of meal.

More importantly to tell DH to keep an eye on my braised red cabbage and stir it from time to time while I fed 6 week old - fortunately top of the saucepan full was edible but I might have ruined the pan! It was smoking under the lid when I got back to the kitchen!

Hazards of cooking a full roast from scratch with a newborn in the house!

Carrots. How the hell do you forget carrots when shopping for all the other veg?

I forgot the potatoes! Luckily I had a front door key for the in-laws so let myself into their house (they’re away) and steal all of theirs! Can’t believe I forgot them when I had bought the goose fat and potato seasoning!!!

Nothing. I don't think I've ever forgotten anything. There were small shops/newsagents open round here today.

This has just reminded me that we forgot to cook the red cabbage

I forgot nothing, DH forgot to make hats (home made crackers which he only sealed the other end of today when I reminded him).

Food wise all has gone well.

To buy a present for my mother's dog 🙄

Coffee. No idea how I forgot to buy such a basic item. Climbing the walls here, I need a cup of delicious caffeine and tea is not cutting it.

My mums, sisters and nephews and nieces presents. All at home in a bag 200 miles away.

Spent Christmas with PiL. Remembers theirs and the DC’s presents. Now moving on to my family without any. Will have to post them - DSis avd her dc live overseas. I deliberately didn’t limit myself to “small size” presents fir them, because I thought I was t going to have to post them.

The wine!! I told DP to get it. He thinks he asked me to get it.

I sent him out at 11am and told him not to return empty handed!! Astonishingly, local off licence was open. He returned 10 minutes later with 3 bottles. Apparently the place was heaving mainly with panicked looking men!!

I bought some food and put it in the garage freezer , sent DH down yesterday but didnt ask him to bring up the red cabbage ..so he didn't .
we can have that with Quorn sausages and mash on Thurs.

I bought crackers last year and we didn't use them so I bought some Lindt ones this year (no Hats/No Tat/No Bang) Of course the DC missed the paper hats and crappy nail clippers and plastic keyring (they are 16 and 19, I think the Christmas Traditions are instilled too deep )

I forgot to look out a recipe for pizza dough ( had to search this morning ) theres one which works well but I can never remember . I have a bowl of dough now patiently rising for our Traditional Pizza Boxing Day

Just crackers although they weren't forgotten, it was more of a conscious decision. It was just me and my husband at home for dinner though, with our 3.5 month old, so just saw crackers as an unnecessary expense.

Crackers forgotten accidentally on purpose here too. Nobody mentioned them. Much easier to clear up afterwards because of this.

A lot of things are going to change after this year for sure. So much unnecessary fuss and mess and waste.

I forgot to put out the crackers and to add the partridge breasts into the roasting tin... not too bad this year.

Bacon over the turkey breast, the only thing that OH has mentioned for the last three weeks. I remembered stuffing, pork stuffing, p-i-b, yorkshires, roasties and mash ... but forgot the sodding crispy bacon!

Where I hid one of DD's gifts. I told her she will get another gift at some random future date when I find it.

Oh no!!! OP just reminded me that I forgot the crackers! They are in a cupboard at the back

Forgot to buy cloves. Only realised when I put the ham on to cook. One of my lovely neighbours came to the rescue.

Otherwise, think we were all over it this year
