I'm planning on celebrating the "25th" on the weekend, some treats and "Scrooged" is in order.

I love Pancake Tuesday because I love pancakes even though I never eat them outside of Pancake Tuesday haha.

Only two weeks away! I'm going to invite friends over for a pancake party

I love Pancake Tuesday too. I used to make pancakes an awful lot more often than I do now. On Pancake Tuesday I used to eat pancakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner but the last time I did that it was a bit too much. This year I'm just going to have them for dinner. I've had a Nutella, peanut and caramel crepe from Crepes in the City (you see them at a few of the markets in Dublin) a few times so I think I'm going to do something like that with ice cream. Best dinner ever.

Took down the tree yesterday. Now I've to try and figure out how to get the tree and the tree decorations in the attic because I've it nearly pack with other decorations.

I feel like we should be doing a rolecall to see if everyone survived the great boards crash of 2016. I hope we haven't lost any of our elves along the way haha.

I haven't actually got around to taking down the Christmas decorations yet... It's pretty much just fairy lights (I haven't been switching them on), tinsel, a door decoration and the Christmas cards. Maybe I'll do it this weekend.

I am a fan of savoury pancakes so I usually have those first and then sweet ones for dessert. So my ideal Pancake Tuesday dinner involves having a selection of things on the table for everyone to fill their own pancakes - sausages, bacon, grated cheese, red onion etc for the first course and then Nutella, bananas, golden syrup, ice cream etc for the second

I'm very stressed. I need to sing a Christmas song or something but I can't because I'm in a cafe.

All this pancake talk is making me drool! I'm still deciding on what to have, I love savoury pancakes. Thinking smoked salmon, chicken tikka or chicken satay. Will also do some sweet ones for dessert with a little cheeky ice cream

I had a muffin and a hot chocolate and a bit of perspective and I'm fine now, thanks! Part of the problem was that some absolute moron nearly reversed into me in a car park and no amount of beeping at him seemed to work. And then after driving around the car park trying to find a space I ended up having to leave without finding one and I had to pay for a full bloody hour. But my husband is having a crap load of staples removed today so it could be worse.

Hello !! Haven't been on in a few days super busy here January is flying along. Celebrated my birthday yesterday and my mini glitz birthday is this weekend also. Was also plesently surprised that Despite having eaten my body weight in Ben and jerries( instead of a cake :pac: ) the clothes I ordered for my night away with Mr glitz in Feb arrived and actually fit ! Woo! Mini fist pump moment ladies off tomorrow to get hair done and make up lessons and a quick coffee before collecting the kids :eek: I won't know myself !

Only productive thing I've done all week has been to clear out the attic to store the new boxes for Christmas gifts bought in the sales ! Toto hope your hubby is recovering well! SarahLil hope your feeling better too x

Loughc

Happy birthdays to you both Glitzgirl and mini-glitz

Up to my eyes in work!! Can't wait until it dies down a bit which might not be for a couple of months!!

Stop this month has been hell for me in work. Pulling some silly long shifts and working the odd Saturday

I have a few days booked off in March that i am living for at the moment.

I saw a Christmas tree last night, not sure if it's 10 months early or just late taking it down!

I am trying to be good with my hours and still leaving on time - life is too short to be stuck crunching numbers all night!

Maybe just super traditionalists keeping it up until Candlemas!:cool:

Got to say as much as i love Christmas, I think I'd go a bit mad if my decorations were still up. I was super sad taking them down this year but, and I may get kicked off this forum for saying this, I'm glad they are down now. I'm looking forward to spring with this year's early Easter (and obviously Christmas 2016:pac:) and am ok with last Christmas being in the past.

Chinese new year approaching, a huge party, maybe the decorations ate crossing cultures ☺
