Me? Nowt much
Except some Kit Kats and some bacon. Very rarely I have time for bacon sarnies of a morning but I make a point of having them Xmas morning.

me, fresh strawberries, cream, milk and bread
Xmas desserts and party food/snacks.
And booze.
And a trip to the toy shop for some more bits and bobs but at least it's not in the main town area coz I'm not willing to step foot in that again.
Most of my food shopping (fresh stuff mainly) along with my Turkey .......10.30 Sunday - a new dressing gown for Mr Woo (the one I've ordered hasn't arrived) - will probably buy bits and bobs along the way for my boys.
I have a Christmas door mat which says 'Santa Stop Here'..................Mr Woo says he wants to take the 'e' off the end so it says 'Santa Stop Her'.
The loss of my credit card and debit cards have curtailed me a bit TBH ....new one arrived today but no pin numbers ....yet!

It's great ,we will be enjoying crepes with chocolate sauce and a large coffee by 10am.
I love Boxing Day ......a proper 'chill' day with lots of lovely buffet food - still have all the family but it's all a bit more mellow - we have a lot of fun on Boxing Day ..................I couldn't be doing with Town and the Sales etc.

Me either Sooz, there are other days
There's only one thing I forgot to order and that's salt beef, but I'll pop in and get that tomorrow morning. Everything else is being delivered either on Sunday or Monday, so I think (hope!) I'm all set.
Him indoors has already attacked the Cadbury's Roses
He thinks I've got a secret stash but I've told him I haven't.
He believes me.
Of course I have, but I like tormenting the silly s*d
collection of meat from the local butcher and a sack of spuds and a log delivery by our local man and we are all done
MrH is driving me nuts - he is like a child - being a diabetic and going without so much all the year he is waiting for his * christmas luxuries* - top of the list a pack of proper butter
thank goodness the perscription delivery came yesterday

my favourite day - a nice attack on the cold cuts and various things that never got looked at christmas day
this year will be even better as I have NO one working so no pack ups and a lovely leisurely breakfast all together and then a pick as and when we want day and just chill
I am about to go & do my Tesco shop... just necked an uber strong coffee... and fine tuned the shopping list.
Thought I was ahead of the game (for me)... looked up from the laptop & the tree lights had gone out. That was 2 hours ago... the girl has checked every bulb twice, and the plug fuse... basically the lights are kaputt.
So.. if Tesco's don't have any warm white led lights... one of my rabble will have to find me some in town tomorrow (they are all going into town to do their xmas shopping... giving me some time alone to tackle wrapping all their stuff)
Then Sunday... I am food preparing.... Monday... little bits of food preparing, but mainly for once, Xmas Eve is looking like I have ring fenced it for emergencies & hopefully a bit of me glamming up time!
we will see
Right.... Tescos here I come... with the girl!!!
Tesco and Asda are both having major shelf stacking from when they close on Sunday Afternoon and are then reopening at a minute past Midnight Christmas Eve
they are also open again on Boxing Day - and doing home deliveries
Just got back... almost a fully succesful mission (didn't get any new fairy lights, or a tin of Heroes... the rabble can get those for me in town tomorrow).
Tesco's was lovely... it looked like it had been ramraided... but I will take mess & trolleys full of stock over hoards of people any day
Just got the mahoosive chore of pressie wrapping to get nailed tomorrow & THEN I am downhill all the way to Christmas
Foil! Knew I'd forgotten something
Foil! Knew I'd forgotten something
Foiled again eh?

good 'un Soozy lol
I gotta get some in though... where would our Christmas leftovers be without bacofoil?
having the day off as I was at a party last night......will make a list maybe later.....Im finding that I cant do crowds and queues....so Im going to have to do last minute things at odd times in odd places
Just been to Asda and got most of the food stuff *plus extras thanks to Miss Aims, whose idea was it of her to come with me* forgot milk and toilet rolls
Collect meat from butchers on Monday, only 2 presents left to wrap and then all done Miss Aims is working Christmas eve and Boxing day this year so it will be a quiet one
still got pretty much everything to get!
Don't do it GJ, it's blooming hideous out there, horrible icy rain.
I'm all organised apart from a few little bits, and whatever I might need once I've decided on Boxing Day dessert, which I'm umming and ahhing about.
The only thing on my list I can't find is angelica for decorating the old fashioned sherry trifle for Christmas eve, but think we can live without that. Tell you what was blooming near on impossible to find too, peppermint essence for making the choccie peppermint creams, (finally managed to source some yesterday.) Guess that most people just buy their chocs from the shops now, but I'll be making an assortment of very boozy truffles, marzipan/choc brazils, pralines etc. tomorrow, it's one of the Christmassy things I really love doing.
