Countdown to Christmas 2020 (thread 9): Vibrating beds and tiny choppers!

[NoWordForFluffy]

Here we go. We're still a chatty bunch. We're going to knock any previous thread count into a cocked hat!

Go, go, go...

Extra protein, Wreck!

*I bet he was hopping mad...
*

Ouch! 🙈😂

protein?

as long as you're not veggie/vegan...

snap!

Nah what I don't know won't hurt me doesn't bother me that much!

as long as you're not veggie/vegan

Ah , I'm vegetarian and it wouldn't bother me too much because an added protein-in-salad isn't a concious choice

And it would be alive ......... it's only Dead Things I don't eat !

The KitchenAid Tiny Chopper was good value though . I cannot remember the price but everywhere else I looked was £69 .
P&P and 5-7 working days delivery is a but out of synch with other retailers though .
I watch the demonstrations , I wouldn't go into a shop and think "Oh that looks nice" and buy it unseen.
Or have someone demo make up or toiletries . But I can watch avidly on QVC .

Agree their Christmas stock is a but meh now .

The very very best Christmas song has to be "Fairytale of New York" , it was playing while I was in labour with my DS , and it took a few years for me to be able to listen without bawling .
I am fine now , I get the 'hairs on the back of my neck' feeling at the intro still.

I was watching a cookery programme at my Dparents , the Baker was being a bit Nigella-esque with the looks'n'smiles but kept going on about rollling cake into StickyBalls and rolling icing into a Long Sausage

@WreckTangled

Just found a slug in my fridge.

What the hell that is horrible ! l would SLUG a couple of gins down you for the shock Wreck positively medicinal l'd say!

70 If I was spending that money on a Chopper for my kitchen, I'd expect a bigger one.

As it is, I have Ken Wood in my kitchen, who chops and blends quite well for £40

70 I ordered a cordless Dyson from them about 2 yrs ago...it was last seen lost with Herpes, which is why it takes 5-7 days before your item is missing, presumed lost forever, then you have to phone them and try again 🤦‍♀️

I worked in Liverpool city centre for a while between university and getting married. A man in the office was called Ken Wood. Not too bad except his wife was called Theresa. 😂

Could have been worse - her maiden name might have been Green.

🌳 🌲 😂😂

The KitchenAid food pro was tiny but I suppose if you only want to prepare tiny amounts it'd do ? I had a teeny food chopper when DS was weaning ( it was designed for baby food but I don't think it did anything different to one of those Food Pro with the extra small bowls )

I had a Kenwood mahoosive Food Pro but there was a gap between the disc and the edge so some things escaped into the bowl in chunks.

The one I have now is a blender+food pro on one unit , and you can only use one at a time .

I did look at reviews that the Kitchen Aid ones are a bit style over substance , though the mixers are still highly prized . (Haven't got one of those either )

Lost in Transit things on QVC are a pain , they take ages to process . I think you have to wait 10 working days (so 2 weeks IRL) till they'd look.

Luckily only 2 things have ever been lost for me .

I ate part of a slug on some fine beans once. (Fascinating Friday Fact)

They've lost (over years) 2 Kipling bags, 1 pair of Sketchers, 1 Dyson cordless, a gold watch (that was flippin' expensive and for my birthday), a set of pans.

I didn't re-order any of it, they get one chance and one chance only to deliver - all with Herpes except the watch which went missing in the warehouse

A former work colleague lost loads - she had a v dodgy delivery guy - one parcel for her and one for him took her about 6 months (and some negotiated WFH) to sus him out.

why why?
you must have seen him to know?

Boots I definitely did not notice. I am kind of hoping I just happened to have half a baby slug in my dinner but it seems unlikely.

Wreck 🤢🤮 We have slugs in the house sometimes and they're foul.

Fluffy I thought you'd appreciate the Bruce pic I remain a believer that Die Hard is not a Christmas film

Thank you so much puss, I'm glad you appreciated the pics.

Also - herpes? Typo? 😂

70 I knew someone on here loved Fairytale in New York but couldn't remember who.
I never liked it then it randomly got me about 3 years ago and I love it now - it's even on my festive playlist.

why 🤢🤮

oh dear.

😂😂

Also, talking of kitchen gadgets, MILs DH bought himself a bread maker last week and gave us fresh bread for lunchtime sandwiches. I had to have an extra slice with butter and jam on as it was so nice so now wondering if I should buy a bread maker...

We don't really eat bread in the week so don't buy much anyway - but fresh bread is bound to be cheaper and so much tastier 🤔

Crazy those silverfish things make me shudder I can almost cope with slugs.

Crazy I tried to get one just before lockdown and Argos sold mine to someone else. fluffy has one and will give you the low down.

Thanks for the thread Fluffy
Must be half asleep as tried to post on the old thread and you'd all gone.

Thanks for the link Woolly, chose 'Hark the Herald Angels sing' because it reminds me of Midnight mass at Christmas. 'Gabriel's message' because I used to play it on my guitar at school, and 'Silent Night' because it is so Christmassy, but love all of them. [santa]

Enjoy Yorkshire Crazy so jealous for your lovely upcoming trips. Love the Christmas pics too Crazy thank you for finishing the thread in such a spectacular fashion.

Yum Most love Hot Choc and marshmallows (hence the name) love Nectar points too

The pens are lovely Mrs, buy some pastel highlighters for my DD for her stocking for uni. Glad to hear NDN is fine, I'm a bawler too

OMG Wreck you're as bad as me Yuk to the slug

Still no rain here, had a Chinese this evening to celebrate my DD's results, full as a little piggy now.

70 love Fairytale too
