It's a bad year here in many ways. DH retired this year so we will miss the usual Christmas "loot" he used to bring home ..... bottles of wine, champagne, gin, whiskey etc. I need to be discerning in my purchases, he won't be pleased.
On the food front I have booked a Waitrose slot and will soon need to get down to the meal plans.
Our DD moved to a big new build house recently and we are invited there. You'd think with 4 bathrooms the developer could have thought to put in a big fridge freezer or left a gap for an American style affair, not just a silly integral fridge above freezer. Luckily I have extra space.
My favourite thing on the list so far is M & S Colin the Caterpillar Christmas cake.
Hmmmm Do caterpillars actually exist in winter?
