Erin, it's beautiful! Thank you Cosi, try not to be blue, shall we cheer you up with a song song? there's plenty of time to make plans. I have failed to save up this year, best start trying to put some aside from now on!

Sweet !

How can I put this without offending a lovely FM...?

 

No thank you

 

I'll be back mid December to enjoy all your planning, shopping tales and other festive paraphenalia

You coulda warned us      

How odd! My Mum started hassling me about what we are doing at that dreadful time ..... Today.

it'll be here before you know it 

I love Christmas   I have chosen this picture carefully to include lovely beach scenes to cheer people up who don't like thinking about Christmas too early and a leeeetle hint of Christmas cheer

 

This year has flown past, Christmas will be here before we know it. I have good intentions to be more organised this year.

What do you mean 'need to start'? You'll never be ready at this rate, I started my shopping 3 months ago.

Ah but have you started on your Christmas Pud?

Squiggle none of like Christmas Pud so I don't bother.  

Sprout!!!  run away!!!1111

I seen this thread and got the Argos catalogue out

So many to buy for and so little time left!

Thanks for the reminder, Sweet

Nor me, nor sprouts   Not you sprout

oooh I love the sprouts. But they still have to be firm, none of this cooking them for hours crap in our house.

 

That's reminded me of a recent phone conversation I had with my Dad, he was busy cooking Sunday lunch & told me the cabbage was cooking nicely and he was just about to put the potatoes on.  THE CABBAGE WAS ALREADY COOKING BEFORE THE POTATOES.  Soggy.

Aww bless! That's probably how his mum cooked cabbage , I was put off cabbage for life by my mum, she bought something she called greens and they were so bitter.

Turnip tops perhaps?  I love cabbage, but Savoy is definitely my favourite.

I don't know but they were dark dark green, I think the shops used to call them spring greens, they weren't really cabbage I don't think but it just put me off cabbage.  The almost white cabbages I see now look nice and I bet they taste entirely different.

Ah yes spring greens.  I like them. To me white cabbage doesn't have much flavour.

I don't know what my mum did with them then they were horrible.

They do have quite a strong taste, so she probably didn't do anything to them, I just love strong tastes.
