The Christmas Fanta

[AlexisP90]

Lighthearted. I've become my mum.

I fondly remember mum screaming "don't touch that, that's the Christmas Fanta!" Whenever I so much nd breathed near the drinks cabinet around this time.

I've become her. Heard myself say this to DH about the quality street ffs 😂

Wondering - when is it OK to touch the Christmas Fanta? I told DH not until christmas day to which he, quite rightly, replied that there will be 4 of us and we cannot possibly eat/drink that much in one day and to chill out (visit family from boxing day to the 29th)

And he's right. But still, I stand firm on the not until Christmas day 😆 for 0 reason.

When do you start?!

Ergh I'm sorry about typos. The quality street being opened made me get wine

We have a baby free night tonight so in celebration threw caution to the wind and cooked the marksies picky bits and cracked open the cheese. Breaking cycles 🤣.

My son used my lemon as "it wasn't in the Christmas fridge"

I had considered buying more today and thought maybe a waste.

I forgot to buy pate... what is wrong with me!!

Ah, Christmas. The sound of frustrated mothers up and down the land gnashing their teeth.

A few years ago one of my teenage cousins turned up on Christmas Eve (we lived walking distance from them) clutching a large bag of potatoes and a carrier bag of Brussels and carrots.

"Can I peel these here? Mumma's turned into Hitler..."

I’m trying to resist the M&S salt and black pepper snack mix until Christmas Eve but they’re calling me from the cupboard. I know that if they get opened they’ve no chance of surviving the night 😩

Tesco sell Tayto and sometimes Home Bargains, too.

My first time hosting Christmas and I am 45! Got 9 for dinner. Fridge is full of Christmas food, enough for a week! My cupboards are full of treats, not to be touched. Going out to eat tomorrow as can’t fit normal food in the fridge.

think I have gone overboard. Did think I have turned into my mum but worse with creating a Christmas cupboard and fridge no one cat touch till Christmas Day.

Faced a stern DH this morning re who ate the Boxing Day crisps! .

I'm only 5ft 2 so I had to swipe them down from the top of the cupboard with a broom. If we had a dog house I'd be in it
