This is an ongoing thread for Scottish mumsnetters - or indeed non Scottish mumsnetters such as myself, to comment on ongoing covid matters pertinent to ourselves, in a hopefully not too partisan and friendly fashion.

Hang on while I knock one up on photoshop retrieve it from my records. Though eating them in a hedge I reckon qualifies as correct and safe disposal, as long as it's a hedge in England. And there isn't anyone else hiding in there having jumped away from passing joggers.

Angostura you say? Always handy for when you move onto the CC highballs later (still not as misspent a youth as up the park on the Merrydown or Bucky - I grew up in the days when the local hotels accepted teacher recommendations in lieu of age ID).

Gin tastes like washing up liquid to me.

Are we throwing the mince pies to the oldies, or at them? One sounds sweet, t'other a tad sadistic

In all seriousness I think it would be good for our teachers to have a longer break. They’ve had a particularly tough few months in our school for various reasons.

Though I’m sure the same applies to all front line staff and there’s no option there for a break, indeed the opposite will likely be the case.

But it wouldn't be a longer break for teachers as the people on that page would be demanding online teaching for their little darlings - remember us lazy gits of teachers sat on our bums doing nothing for 12 weeks already during lockdown

I was distracted there by one of the lovely Scottish relatives ( aka potential visitor attraction) phoning to ask about Christmas presents.

They were slightly surprised when I asked for several long tins of Jaffa cakes.

In reality, we’ll all just be posting malt whisky, pyjamas and golf balls around the country.
None of these ( apart from the PJs) are all that easy to lob through an open window on a drive by.

I have very fond memories of my grandparents drinking home made Ginger Wine at Christmas.
I know you can buy it but it doesn’t taste the same.

DH and I were talking about lockdown themed Xmas songs

"Happy Christmas lockdown is over"

"Do they know it's Christmas" (naebody knows)

"Last Christmas" ( find memories)

"Locking around the Christmas tree"

I'm sure there's more we can come up with

It’s Going to Be Lonely This Christmas

No Rocking Around the Christmas Tree

Hark the Herald Angels Dont sing

Jason Leitch is coming to town..you better be good, etc

All I want for Christmas is flu

A fairy tale of New Lanark? - as long as you live in that council area.

Aww we'll all be fine, Robbie Williams knob-end has written and actual CV themed Christmas song for us all to enjoy.

Hark the Herald angels mime!

All I want for Christmas is (to see) you

Mask Christmas

Oh come all ye SNP Faithful

Christmas Time, Sanitiser & Wine

Possible next thread title.

You'll have had your tiers.

It's a (2m long) cracker!

Oh I love "You'll have had your tiers"

Happy Christmas, Covid isn't over?

I love you'll have had your tiers!

@rookiemere

Oh I love "You'll have had your tiers"

Yep, that's one job done!

DH just asked me for a list of what I'd like for Christmas - I've told him to ask Nicola what I'm allowed.
