It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

 Friday 1st December 2023 

Yay, it's the FINAL COUNTDOWN, are you singing that now :) and if you ain't you should be, so here's the video!

Anyway, I managed to get ten minutes with Aryn yesterday morning before going to work so he could open his presents, he was chuffed with them which made my day as teenage boys are not easy to buy for.  

He loved his cheese cake lolly's from The Cheesecake Cellar although he said he couldn't eat more than one at a time.  I'd like to try her cheesecake without the chocolate, might order one another day as a treat. 

  

It's good to support local businesses isn't it!

Minnie is being a little minx this morning, in a very playful mood, she's rolling about on the table in front of me and swiping and biting me but not with any passion, it's all playful unlike if Coco swipes or bites you know it was meant to hurt ya!

The only other thing he wanted was KFC chicken with gravy and sadly the KFC people messed that up because they didn't put the lid on the gravy properly and then put it underneath or to the side of the chicken in the bag and this happened!

 

When I lifted it out of the car, it just went everywhere, such a shame because the chips we managed to salvage were the best chips we've ever had from KFC.  I tried the tower for you, it was okay, I wouldn't want it again.  I gave Aryn a bit as he doesn't like stuffing but he said it didn't taste like stuffing and he said it as nice. 

I'm a chicken on the bone kind of girl, chicken burgers just don't really do it for me and trust me it didn't look anything like that photo in reality but at least the gravy hadn't got on that!

The rest of my day was filled with happy huddles, our members are hanging in their, they will not cave before Christmas, you can enjoy the run up without going crazy and gaining a stone!

I never got round to making the stew so will do it this morning, it'll start all afternoon so will be okay later.  

I'm so ready for the Christmas break, putting the tree up, cooking the dinner  with a glass of fizz (I don't stress over that, it's just a roast dinner!), all chilling and spending time together - yeah I can't wait. 

But until that arrives, I'll spend today cleaning the kitchen, the hob and work top is a mess, there's a mountain of washing up, then I can cook and make more mess, followed by tidying the rest of the house and doing the washing.  It's like Groundhog day isn't it life - I love it. 

Right legs get this day started, well I'll watch the rest of I'm a celeb first with another cuppa, then I'll start.

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me x
