  1. I have some quality street in the cupboard left over from Halloween.

2, I've had a nice pie and started shopping.

Does Xmas painting count as a couple? Done the whole hallway today.

4 points. Although I am having a Baileys right now which must give me a bonus of some sort.

TraceyLacey · 21/11/2021 20:10

5! Plus bought an advent calendar, there's gotta be a bonus point there! Also realised I've lost my Christmas Buble CD and looked for a replacement in charity shops at the weekend but seemed like no one gives him away!

Christmas Lights by Coldplay was bugging me as an earworm

I was stunned when I found it on YouTube - it was released in 2010.

But the mulled wine was at the fireworks, not really Christmas-related.

2 - I’ve started shopping ( I don’t finish as such it sort of evolves ) and I’ve eaten a mince pie ( only because I’ve been to Costco and they are the best ones ) . Lots of the points wouldn’t be available to me as we don’t have QS / roses type tubs of chocolate , don’t drink alcohol , don’t wear Christmas jumpers , see FC , or go to Christmas light switch ons . I have got a couple of light trails booked and our tree goes up on Thanksgiving day .

@Thethreecs

Mine's 2, it's for the quality street tubs, but they're not in the cupboard, they're in my stomach. Do I loose points?
No, you get more. 6 points for you.

20! Blush

PinkSyCo · 21/11/2021 20:22

I got 3 points but should probably take away 1 point for each tub of Roses I’ve scoffed, so a big fat ( excuse pun) zero for me. Blush

DietCokeChipsAndMayo · 21/11/2021 20:24

Woah hold on if we’re getting bonus points I have also -
Bought all advent calendar fillers (we have reusable fabric ones)
Bought new Xmas bedding for a few of the kids
Bought kids Xmas day outfits
Booked all the days out
Started decorating a GIANT wreath to use as a wall decoration
Had an Xmas hot chocolate from costa or Starbucks I can’t remember which
AND! The kids all slept in Xmas pjs for a few days last week after I got them out for them to try on and they all just kept them on Grin

If you have eaten 2 tubs of Roses you can have 6 extra points.
