Angels!

Spiders are evil!!!

But it’s on a video 

I still don't trust it not to jump out the screen at me

I might actually be more organised than you and Cinds this year Sweet!

 

Cards bought, paper bought, crackers bought, most presents bought, new fold down sofa bed bought (extra guests anticipated) ... need to buy theatre tickets for boxing day, then start cooking and freezing.

 

I just love it

Pfft ... I’m just too mean to pay full price for anything ... I buy it all in the sales!

 

I do love the pre Christmas cooking though ... I will start in a few weeks

Yup! Bit worried about it this year though ... I made a rich fruit cake for an occassion in June ... it didn’t get eaten, so I froze it and it’s gonna become my Christmass cake. I’m thinking if I drizzle enough brandy over it it will be okay!

So the spider present isn't a good one

I thought it would be sooo useful 

The present is very useful , it's just the video of a spider which scares the life out of me (I didn't click on it)

Thanks Delia Yogi ... I shall let you know x

 

I checked with hubby and he says, make sure it's thoroughly defrosted, put some holes in it with a skewer, add the brandy and it will be fine.

If he's wrong, I'll happily whack him on your behalf.
