OH's orphaned friend often comes to his for Christmas, which is fine, but he LOVES brussel sprouts and I hate them, so unless there's a special brussel sprouts microwaveable pack (which there is in Asda, luckily for him!) then he ain't havin em!

I don't like Brussels sprouts either. Luckily, neither does Mr LW. Don't care for the....er....after-effects of 'em, either!

I actually saw a Xmas card in a shop the other day which just had Brussels sprouts as a picture..... weird, or what? Or is it one you'd send to someone you don't like?:D

I can't even stand the smell of them boiling. It's a sealed microwavable bag or nothing for me. And that's only under duress! He ate a FULL bag of them _pale_
The card, well there would only the brussel loving freaks that would get any kind of kick out of those..right? (bleurgh)

LOL LW, once used those Xmas cards with sprouts on for corporate clients! I really liked them!

Flooring done and I'm absolutely shattered, but have to clear stuff off the bed so I can sleep in it tonight!

I'll be back when I have a brain again.

Doh! My lights have tripped out. I cannot be bothered to rummage under the stairs for the trip switch on the fuse box :rolleyes:. Maybe I can hold out til DF finishes work..? Luckily all the powerpoints are on a different circuit, so I still have internet - or that could've been messy!! :eek:

And..nine months tomorrow I'll be getting wed! :j:beer::T Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Hmmm maybe fibromites just don't like sprouts. Include me in that club.

I have another one. Does anyone actually like Christmas pudding? Sorry I can't stand it- nor can I stand Christmas cake. I mean, why waste all the fat, calories and decadence on that? To each their own I guess but I think we're having cherry cheesecake pie, trifle and some sort of unspecified chocolate something.

I don't make the typical British Christmas dinner. I make the American one. It's basically the same except we have green bean casserole instead of sprouts, sweet potato casserole & mashed potatoes instead of roast taters & parsnips, and we've ditched the Christmas pudding for a decadent delight of our choice. We don't do the cocktail sausages either.... usually we also have a fruit salad.

Just rambling, sorry. Just trying to decide which direction to go in on this one! I promise I will start making comments relevant to the thread and people involved. Oh boy I do tend to waffle when I write.

Anyway, have a fantastic Friday night everyone!

Don't worry about it Pamaris. I'm sure we're as bad enough if not worse

I don't like sprouts, or parsnips (roasted or not). I don't mind Christmas pud, once a year with lashings of custard and a blob of icecream, but Christmas cake is not my thing. Too heavy for me. Another reason I turned down my mum's offer to make a wedding cake for us - I am *not* having fruit cake!! Not keen on cherries but I'm with you on the cheesecake . Don't like trifle either. But the unspecified chocolate something sounds devine

I've got a headache now, after dropping friend at train station. Also broke promise to myself to eat better by getting maccy's whilst waiting for the train. Oh well, there was no chance I was going to actually cook something better for myself tonight anyway, too knackered from yesterday still.

Give yourself a break BZ. A takeaway or quick meal is the better option sometimes than exhausting yourself cooking.

I've only managed to eat 2 biccie today, so am starving, but too knackered to cook.

Have managed to clear junk off bed so I can at lest sleep in it tonight (and, I suspect, most of tomorrow), but have a stinker of a headache and don't feel too well. Nothing that a loooooooong sleep won't sort out I'm sure.

There was something else I was going to say, but it's gone.

While I would agree with you, I was rather mortified to learn how much weight I've put on (at my Asthma clinic this week) and as you *may* know (;)) I have a wedding to get in shape for! :eek:

Fricking landlady's just rung playing it all caring sharing. I wanna puke. Or kill her. Or something. I have rage, that's all I need to know I guess :mad:

Careful_with_that_Axe

Don't let her get to you BZ. That gives her power over you. Do try to chill, however hard it may be.

Hope s/e is OK. She's not been around at all which is unusual. Maybe puter is playing up.

I'm all out of being able to put words together coherently, I think.
