I had a shocking thought (lighthearted!)

Well I work in a nursery. I’m only allowed to get the glitter out from December….it’s all over the floor today as I made bunting for our kiddies graduation 😂😂😂

Stop it, just Stop it, all of you!

I won't give it another thought until November. There, I feel better already. Now off to my procrastinator's meeting.

The small bakery where I've got my C. cake from has closed so I have started getting the ingredients to make my own. It's been quite a few years since I made one.

I thought about the C word when we passed the longest day, and started to think about winter woolies. (Feels ashamed)

Bit late grannybags!!

I enjoy the summer first, then think of Christmas

Heck yes, November is quite soon enough.

It's been on my mind. I will be back n new house by then. New bay window and new tree.

Not exactly woollies, but recently I found Lazybones trousers on the Seasalt website - most def. a colder-weather thing - soft, warm and v comfortable for around the house - and ordered some. Because if I left it until the autumn, they’d be sold out, wouldn’t they?

I had an email from a C…….s on line store flagging their C…….s sale today. Up to 25% off all sorts of things! Haven’t been tempted 😂😂. (I suppose if you are after something or need to replace something, now’s the time to do it, though).

Not sure what this says of me ( and probably don't want to know), but the first 'C' word that came to mind was much ruder than the intended one.

Walking around my garden, I caught myself thinking of what seeds I may put in next year! Enjoy this years blooms first, me!

This reminds me, I have two jars of gluten free mince meat in the cupboard. I think I had better get my apron on and practice. You know, just incase my skills have addled in the last few months. I❤️Mince Pies.

Why would mincemeat be described as ‘gluten free’, Merryweather* - there’s no flour in it, is there? Or at least, not in any recipe I’ve seen.

I think suet has wheat in it.

On putting a large-ish, empty mayonnaise jar in the dishwasher, I told dh not to put it in the recycling later but keep it - ditto any similar - since it won’t be too long before I’m making C-word mincemeat again. 😱

I must sew up my set before it gets the moth in it 😁

But I'm busy making another crochet blanket.

Autocorrect, sorry.

Yes, Witzend, suet is coated in flour, (I presume to stop it clumping together in one suety mass?) so therefore not gluten free. (I don’t know if you can buy gluten free suet, but imagine you can, somewhere).

My Am.Dram. group are auditioning for Panto next week. Time will fly.

If I see something suitable for Christmad I put it in my present stash .
But well done for anticipating mincemeat making in June .

I have to admit to thinking of embellishing my baubles in June .
Embellishing of the baubles isn't as painful as it sounds !

Christmas I mean though I certainly feel Christmad at Christmas .

I hadn't heard it ( event in December!) described this way so I thought you were abbreviating the profanity!

Ah. I hadn’t thought of that!

This chat should be taken off on the grounds that it is cruel to an old lady who is trying to lose weight and who needs more time between Christmases.

I only put it that way because some GNers do start frothing at the mouth if anyone mentions the C-word before November. Even if they post on the dedicated C-word thread.

I detest Christmas. I will not be preparing till last minute. Last year I fell out with everyone, my car was off the road due to needing repairs and the supplier was shut till new year. I couldn’t go far, busses were unreliable, Apart from burying my head in a book I just wanted to hibernate. So The C word not my favourite
