Aless, buy a pack of Aldi spekulatius and use them to make the base for an eggnog cheesecake using the avocaat. It is agonisingly nom and you will have to make another every day until you run out of eggnog, and then you will have to buy more. It is that nom.

WE CAN HAZ CHRISTMAS TREEEEEE!!! We brought it home on the bus and the train and my humbug husband - after insisting we got one no taller than me and preferably only 4' (I'm 5'2) - looked at all the little ones and decided they were bobbins. So we have one that's taller than him (6') :j:j:j:j:j:j Now I'm going to decorate it and perhaps open some wine.

And just for you I haz....

Ack, I was just in Aldi (hence the advocaat :rotfl:), so I will clearly need to go back tomorrow to procure Spektaculousthingees.

Think you meant Susan

The tree is up but it is still very wet so I am letting it sit before putting stuff on it. Screamy Screamerpants is in bed pretending she doesn't need to go to sleep and the stuff still on my list is either stuff that needs to wait because the tree is wet or stuff I hate doing. And putting marzipan on the cake but I CBA

Hope Izzy is better soon, it's rotten when they're miserable and you can't fix them.
