Hi
I think normally Ellie request this thread to start on the 1st day of the new month. I am not sure how to request it, so just started one myself, hope it is OK.
I’m making a list
And checking it twice
I’m buying some sprouts
Cause I think they taste nice
We are doing the Christmas food shop.
The turkey looks big
The gammon will do
Don’t forget the carrots
And one for Rudolph too
We are doing the Christmas food shop
They bash you with their trolleys
they grab the last mince pie
You join the checkout queue at last
There’s nothing left to buy.
We are doing the Christmas food shop!
Merry Christmas everyone !!

Hi Fleabane sorry to hear you have had a cold, on top of chemo that is tough. Hope you are over the worst and have a lovely Christmas xx
I love christmas my favourite time of year, my birthday new years eve...I just love it. But it took me 3 blinking days to wrap the gifts and there aren't that many ...keep forgetting stuff, think i made more lists than Father Christmas
But I'm still here, we have guests staying, but I shall only be able to do the bare housework
But no worries...baking today..Will take me hours but I know my family will enjoy so that makes me happy.
So we will make it Mich? We'll have a go one eh?
