Gransnet Christmas party - everyone welcome

DD2 persuaded me to try rhubarb and ginger gin (after years of telling everyone I can't stand the taste of gin it's my new favourite drink!!) I'll bring some along shall I?

Also a big tub of ice-cream.It just slides down!

Something needs to slow him down! Whatever he is on, I could do with some this afternoon!

Pink gin! Ann I will be very pleased to join you in partaking of that, as I will drink gin of any colour and provenance, but have never had pink gin!

Actually, I may give them to that man who is still madly dancing in the OP - they should slow him down no end as they're so heavy.

IngeJones are you turning down my mince pies?

The pigeons may get them for breakfast

Greyduster I have just the thing for you and me, and no, we aren't sharing.
It is Pink Gin which is new to me ,it is very good, I know this because I have had to sample of course.

No-one will notice our culinary disasters Greyduster, after a few slugs of maryhoffman's sloe gin and Kacee's caramel rum
there is lots of sherry in the trifle as well Hic

kazzer hope you feel up to joining in

Half-finished trifle anyone?

Sorry - the latest cookery term is 'deconstructed trifle'

I’ll bring the chocolate log I have been wrestling with all afternoon (now that should conjure up some bizarre images!!). It actually looks as if a wrestler fell on it, but it should taste okay!

I bought an extra Christmas pudding incase we run short but quite sure we won't need it. I'll bring it along together with some brandy butter.

Sloe gin sounds lovely maryhoffman37 and caramel rum Kacee, Merry Chrismas everyone "hic"

I have a lovely bottle of caramel rum that I will bring. I have been keeping it for Christmas and will happily share it with you all. Kazzer come along and have a drink it may cheer you up.

Oh I will be there. Thank you

Merry Christmas everyone - hope you don’t mind, I’ve taken the liberty of laying on a couple of coaches - bring on the mulled wine!!

Wish I could join you instead of home with depression being a cow to everyone

Anyone want the sloe gin I made four years ago? I decided I prefer straight gin!

Happy Christmas everyone. Lovely to read all the posts they keep me company! I'll certainly join you for a few drinks and snacks but my days of "Carlton " dancing are long gone lol

Noooo, not Driving Home for Christmas gd! I’ve been hearing it for the last couple of months as it was DH’s choice of music to learn and play on saxophone this year. Was hoping not to hear it again for a while! How about Coldplay Christmas lights? I’ll contribute a (M&S) Christmas cake.

Happy Christmas to you all will bring some Thornton truffles before I eat them all and my other half will bring some music he is good at that. Prob be asleep in a chair by 10 but hey ho xxx

Jalimal108, very kind of you but I have suddenly become very overfull from - er - yesterday's breakfast or something :P

How do you make vodka jellies please bikergran?

Overdosed on Stollen, Bratwurst and Glühwein in Aachen a couple of weekends ago, but always ready for more.

I'll pop in and bring some stollen and gluwein. ?

I may pop in with a few "Vodka Jellies" (if any left)!

Oh no, have my ear plugs in now.
I was in Sainsbury's today and Once in Royal David's City was playing, found myself singing and I got some very strange looks.
Probably because I was out of tune.
