Ooh nice New Thread ....settles in.
During the year, whenever I remember, I'll get the odd £50 note out of the Nationwide and not leave it til the last minute when all the £50s have run out
DS has a December birthday , we always used to give him a £50 mote and he loved them. He never spent it though (and a load of places won't take them) . It got really difficult finding a nice crisp note though .
We used to recycle and put £50 in his bank then give him the same £50 note for Christmas (he never twigged) 
This year , I gave him a book with £10 notes in the pages (£100 ) his little face was
till he realised . (Ha!)
My haggard old carcass has decided to gift me with acid reflux
to add to everything else . I've discovered I cannot eat peanut butter without it causing me pain.
Fried food is doing the same so I only had a couple of roasties yesterday and a few chips on Tuesday and crucially , not to eat food late at night .Seemed to work but I still had very slight bleurgh stomach .
DH said "Buy Gaviscon" (which I might for emergencies) but I think I need to listen to my innards and this will be a New Resolution that I will need to adhere to.
I don;t ear a lot of fatty food TbH, but I've noticed when I do , it is grim. (I used to have heartburn in pregnancy , I don;t want to revisit that)
Family Tradition homemade pizza for Boxing Day , going to try Paul Hollywood's dough recipe (then if it goes Pete Ting I can blame him
)
