Good Grief - Christmas Stuff Already

[sherrardk]

It's not even the end of July and I have already seen my first 'festive' menu and Christmas Day menu :(

Mic and I have not celebrated Christmas since 2008. This year will be different I'm going to push the boat out. BUT not yet. A couple of days before the big day will do.

What a coincidence, I was down at the Portsmouth Historic Dickyard this afternoon, and they're advertising a Christmas Special on board HMS Warrior.

I've just checked - my local Esso station will be doing flowers, milk tray and cans of WD40 on Christmas Eve - that should cover most eventualities.

Psssst, Dave most Tesco filling stations are 24 hour ones !.

Humber - the posh advent calendars were getting out of hand 5 x £25! The bag of doom consists of 24 wrapped gifts (preferably under £1 for each day), usually chocolate or sweets or sometimes pencils, pens, etc. I called it the bag of doom because my kids appreciate a bit of darkness and because they never knew if they were getting something really naff. As they would be getting some sort of treat after tea it's money I would have spent anyway. On the final day they got a big bottle of coke, Pringles, sweets, popcorn, etc and opened it in the morning to snack on during the day.

I haven't thought about Christmas yet, too early. Anyone fancy a trip to Canary's Portsmouth Historic Dickyard?

marval, for those of us who's life is somewhere between Time Team and Scrapheap Challenge, Portsmouth dockyard isn't much of a trip out ;)
