Pickled walnuts!!  For the cheese...

did you put the sprouts on before you left?

Are you having guests this year LCG, you'll need your Christmas quackers, a centre piece for the table , not forgetting the After 8s or some up market mints , apparently the best gin is ??? according to my sil,I can remember as all gins smell like perfume to me , yuk !

Can't think but there are 80 shopping days till Christmas!

*cant

Yuk to walnuts for me I'm afraid

twiglets to give you a thirst for the wine

maybe a grapefruit or two to secure the sausages and cheese and pineapple. These little details are very easy to overlook.

what day is the party I'd like to pop in.

Me too, I could check if the trains are running that day 

I reckon more gin and wine.  There isn't enough there.

I started last week.  I bought two selection boxes (Roses and Celebrations or the like).  Last year I bought them early and hid them and Mr BM found them and ate them.  This year, they are hidden in plain sight (in the stack of similar empty ones in the pantry).

Ah, but will the chocolate hunter out-fox you, BM?  

 

You're right about the gin and wine...

 

Bobbi, I bought some Penrhos Apple & Elderflower Gin for the old bird last week and she and I loved it.  I'll get some more in for the Gin-fest ... sorry, I mean Christmas ... peace and goodwill to all men and all that jazz...

Got it, Hendricks Gin?

Oi you , that old bird's 12 years younger than this old bird 😂😂😂😂😂🙈

Wot, no olives ?

Oh no! the trouble was only just telling me this morning how long until the xmas tree goes up 🙄

Dont forget the Alka-Seltzer and Solpedine LG 😁

 

Oh, and cocktail sticks of course, something I always forget.

Just ordered my Ginger wine

Coffee liquer  for those Espresso Martinis 🍸 

Hopefully not!  This year he does not know that I have bought them because I got them in the house and hidden before he saw them.

I'm making some cucumber gin this weekend.  If I have time I might pop out and get some sloes and make some sloe gin so on Christmas Eve, I can get drunk on Sloegasms.  (Sloe gin and fizz).

Quality street etc were £4 at Morrisons last week gone up to £5 this week and are £5.50 in Sainsbury's Ridiculous really next time ther are £4 I really must buy some
