    Tesco Home Delivery slots are open for Christmas Week if you have a delivery saver! Just booked my shopping this morning!

    Is that baileys cream in a tub? Surely not, I know I sometimes buy grated cheese but just lash some baileys in with the cream at home. So delicous on mince pies and in your morning coffee...if getting public transport.

    Baileys whipped cream is the business... I get a couple of tubs every year, eat it with mince pies, pudding, in coffee, on ice cream and anything else it wont curdle on :D

    If you like Baileys you cant go wrong with it.

    Heard my second Christmas song on an actual radio station today and I got all emotional. Same thing happened yesterday. I think I'm going mad. :D

    Also heard a guy on the radio this morning who said that Christmas should be celebrated from September 1st to January 1st with a 2 day break for Halloween. I'm on board with that!

    Had a call with my Mum at home and she made me feel all Christmasy, she said she spent a fortune in Penney's (most likely not a fortune)

    I dunno, the Penneys Christmas stuff is GORGEOUS this year, i can envisage a small fortune being spend in there in the coming weeks!!

    Just bought our advent calendar....nearly forgot all about it! Harder to buy as I refuse to buy any one with chocolate, sweets, toys etc. I like just a plain, picture one. Got a 4 pack on Amazon though so that's the next four years sorted :D

    I've also been looking up ideas for our Elf on the Shelf when he makes him come back on Saturday night!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,827 ✭✭✭Jude13


    I have given her my Santy list:
    Chocolate coins (one year I didn't get any, it just wasn't a proper Christmas, I was 25 that year)
    White pudding.

    That's about all I need for Christmas apart from the company.

    The sky was on the ground all day yesterday so I put up my Christmas decorations early to combat the gloom. I popped a picture on FB and both my MIL and a friend of my sister messaged me to tell me I had inspired them to do the same. Yay! Spreading Christmas cheer. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,865 ✭✭✭TRS30


    The traffic in here is unreal these last few days. About 5/6 thread updates at one time! Can't wait to see the post count :P

    Got the decorations out last night, took me about 45 minutes to get them from the storage at the side to the attic floor (attic converted). Working from home today so just spent lunch, another 45 mins, moving them from the attic to the landing and then will move from landing to front room this evening.

    Is a three stage process due to the amount! Seems to grow every year. I'll do all the outside decorations and wife will do inside and we do tree together as a family.

    I think I will get all misty eyed at the thoughts of Jude13 and co arriving home for Christmas!

    Running through my mince pie list again. Tesco bakery mince pies are again just 'ok', the value ones are **** tier stuff though. The filling is practically empty

    I wouldn’t be surprised if they had Larry call in to do it. I’m hoping they do it’s a nice tradition to keep it going.

    If it’s Eoghan McDermott I give up.
