I find it a bit sickly. But I do like an Irish coffee.

Do you like an Irish coffee?

Grany Sat 26-Dec-20 15:40:58

No have tried Baileys sounds delicious coffee.

Have you watched much Christmas TV?

Grannynannywanny Sat 26-Dec-20 15:44:51

My daughter recommended Motherland Christmas special. I’d never seen Motherland and found it very funny. Going to start series 1 tonight.

Do you watch Motherland?

WOODMOUSE49 Sat 26-Dec-20 17:08:22

No, but have just read about it and will definitely watch it too.

Any new recipe you've cooked, especially for Christmas, that hasn't turned out success.

I made a trifle yesterday and the custard didn't set properly so the cream sank into it. But it tasted good.

Are you wearing any new clothes today which were a Christmas present?

FannyCornforth Sun 27-Dec-20 11:46:49

No, but I'm wearing a bracelet that was a present (bought by me!)

Anything good on TV today?

JackyB Sun 27-Dec-20 12:36:43

I don't watch TV.

What are the best alternative activities to watching TV?

shandi6570 Sun 27-Dec-20 14:48:20

Reading books and doing crosswords.

For those of you who do crosswords, do you find that nowadays you still know the answer but it stays obstinately 'on the tip of your tongue'?

LauraNorder Sun 27-Dec-20 14:52:04

Yes, quite often.

Crossword or sudoku?

Squiffy Sun 27-Dec-20 15:05:54

Both!

Will you be indulging in the online Sales?

Puzzler61 Sun 27-Dec-20 16:21:10

Not so far (never say never).

Will you make a New Year’s resolution?

Beechnut Sun 27-Dec-20 16:23:01

I don’t think so........

Are you having an alcoholic drink right now?

Puzzler61 Sun 27-Dec-20 16:26:41

No, Coca Cola,

Are you watching The Sound of Music on BBC1 right now?

tinaf1 Sun 27-Dec-20 16:27:11

When do you take your decs and Christmas Tree down

hulahoop Sun 27-Dec-20 16:51:25

Is anyone else cooking a Sunday roast today?

DillytheGardener Sun 27-Dec-20 18:51:19

On the last of my Christmas leftovers today, so cold cut gammon and cheese tonight!

Did you buy anything in the Boxing Day sales and if so what?

Whitewavemark2 Sun 27-Dec-20 18:54:27

Nothing.

Is anyone else feeling as full as I am and will be grateful to get back to ordinary food?

Patsy70 Sun 27-Dec-20 18:58:24

Yes, but we’re just having ham, salad and new potatoes this evening. Probably bypass the pud tonight!
