A Christmas 🐷 thread - I’ll start!

Finished a delicious cold game pie! Yum!

I have long since given up making a Christmas cake as only I eat it, but I bought a Slice of one which I am ekeing / eking? out, then DD goes and gives me a whole M& S one!
It would be rude not to eat it.

I ate a whole mini stollen by myself, as DH doesn't like anything that has raisins in it.

I am also eating my way steadily through my home baked Christmas biscuits on my own, too.

I hate food waste, so I have been eating Christmas and New Year ‘leftovers’ for breakfast. Yesterday I finished off a strawberry trifle for breakfast. Today I had a plate of 5 assorted cheeses and (somewhat over-ripe) fruit. There’s still some Christmas pudding. Perhaps I could incorporate it into porridge, after all it’s mostly reconstituted dried fruit!

Trying ( not to eat too many liqueur chocs. Hard to resist though at half price.

I had biscuits, chocolates, mince pies, crisps etc and shortbread left so my daughter, who has just been round, has received them with delight for her brood. Who incidentally are staying with me this weekend and who, I hope, will polish off the rest. I like sweet treats etc but have such a small appetite, it’s impossible to do real justice to all the delicious Christmas fare these days. It took me several days to recover from Christmas Day and with the remainder of the festivities, well, I’m stuffed for the next week, I think!

Have finished off the trifle, the last four mince pies and the last of the turkey (cooked and donated by daughter in law) on the very last bap.
Am writing a letter of complaint to Persil as all of my clothes have shrunk.

I was sent a HUGE box of Belgian chocolates by a tutee’s parent. I have eaten them all , including the normally hated dark chocolate. I am currently ordering loose tunics and jumpers as I hear they are the height of fashion this month.

They certainly are Toscalily they are my favourites - I'm sure they've got something addictive in them which lights up the pleasure centre of the brain.

Yep! lbc1955 It's called chocolate!

I’ve just eaten a whole tub of Pringles for lunch 😝

I've been having brandy butter and left over cream on my porridge,yummy!!

Since Christmas, I've been hitting the Baileys.

Well, you can't leave a bottle half empty!

It doesn’t keep well. Waste not want not is a good mantra.

All the choccies are long gone ... but I am indulging in whats left of the Bristol Cream, Dressed in my fluffy onesie, and a glass of sherry, its like having the central heating on!! loving it.

Oh I'm so relieved to read your posts because I've been feeling really guilty about finishing up all the chocolate, nuts, mince pies (with brandy butter) and the Stollen sent by dear friends in Germany. Well I'm still feeling guilty but not alone!

It would be so irresponsible to leave anything uneaten 'Given the price of food, eating those last few mince pies, 'tidying up' the leftover chocolates,demolishing nuts, sausage rolls or drinking the last half bottle of alcohol is a public duty. Guilt and self recrimination can (and will) follow, but for now - spoil yourself!

On New Year’s Day DH and I celebrated by having porridge- our usual breakfast, but this time with the rest of the brandy cream on top with some brown sugar, Yumm

I gained eight pounds. Imagine what fun that was. Tasted good, too.

The milk tray chocolates are only being recalled if bought before December

🤣🤣🤣🤣 and so ends the latest public information broadcast! Got my vote!

I love to go nuts and polish off most things in one session.unfortunately DH still has the rationing mentality of "saving for best" /"don't eat all at once" of our parent's generation!! It drives me potty! He guilt trips me if I have more than couple sweets at a time or I demolish the pringles! I tell him things are there for eating and will go "off" if not eaten once opened but he has a 1950s attitude to all.....hang on no he hasn't......... he'll have a couple beers and a whisky most nights to my one g&t /week! Nothing said and my head blown off if I mensh!!

My god!!!

I can’t believe what a greedy lot you are.

Didn’t any of you feel physically sick after scoffing all that food and drink. And some of you are still scoffing like mad.

Diabetes? Heart attacks anyone?

Your poor arteries will be well and truly clogged up.

Let’s hope none of you get ill and need the NHS.
Good luck with that.

Oh dear. Is there any hope for us all I wonder. To be fair to me though. I have paced myself but it was only earlier today that I put the Christmas sweets and goodies inside a cupboard as it was too tempting each time I passed those tubs of sweets to nibble one or two or even more. I never put weight on at Christmas but come the end of February I usually find I have a good few kilos to shift. Determined not to do that this year. Mind you I have been determined not to do that since the early seventies !
