we are going on sat to buy stuff in bulk as its double discount, i expect the food will be next weekend - drink is all bought. Tonight the laptop will be coming out as we are scheduled to discuss next weekends food strategy and no doubt the TL's "Christmas planning book" will be coming out too

I am aiming to be 4 fingers into a large Monkey Shoulder to ease this process along

bloody hell, sounds a bit like a military procedure how many people you hosting....

[Twosugars]

chocs and nibbles have been gethering in a special Christmas cache (do not touch until 24th) for a while now, booze bought except can't decide if it's a sherry year or a port year so that's to be decided
goose this year, already sitting in the freezer, Christmas pud courtesy of my oh's mum
next week the rest will be bought including a dash to a Polish shop for Polish grub and chocs, but will make my own poppyseed cake
breads from a local bakery on 24th

What do you mean a sherry or Port year? It:s Christmas! get them both down your gullet. Enjoy yourself!

[Crimson Dynamo]

I had a cheeky Vermouth last night as it goes. Todays drink advent calendar was a miniature of Teachers.

got most of other types of booze tbh, but we've developed this tradition, the same like we decide on a Xmas day bird (and sometimes it's not a bird) we decide to have either port or sherry; it's fun
