Making chicken feed of my mortgage

Greying_Pilgrim

ooooh, any new eateries on the social calendar horizon muddy? In londinium town or elsewhere? Was thinking about you when there was all the talk of various eateries on the CIN bidding on R2 - Kerridge, Stein et al.

How is your nephew doing? I noticed his present acquisition is on your 'to do' list And how are your brother and sis-in-law doing? Can't believe that they aren't anything less than exhausted, but I know they will say 'it's what you do as parents', which of course, is absolutely right. I do hope that they've perhaps all turned a corner with these blessed allergies now.

Oh, and are you doing any hampers this year?

Have a great weekend

A ten hour sleep sounds wonderful, do you feel better for it?

Do share your social plans! I am such a hermit that the chances of me ever being double booked are extremely slim.

No clashes :T

Plans for December include a weekend in Cheltenham, hosting a Christmas party for our lovely neighbours (5 households) and a couple of local gastropub meals with friends

We hadn't thought about a fancy meal in London... until you mentioned it Greying! We're now booked for lunch at a new-to-us Michelin-starred restaurant in Mayfair on 29 December :j

We've also agreed our plans for the Christmas period.

Christmas Eve - invite my dad (& that woman) - salmon en croute?
Christmas Day - just us - HM ham (that we'll be making for Boxing Day) with bubble & squeak and poached eggs
Boxing Day - invite Mr MWC's family - buffet

Wednesday or Thursday - day trip to the IOW to visit my brother

Friday - London

Saturday - lazy day

New Year's Eve - family party

New Year's Day - lazy day

No new allergies :T and they appear to be settling into a routine (my brother reduced his hours and is a stay-at-home dad 3.5 days/week).

Presents wrapped - wooden toys from his list and, even though my brother said no more clothes, I couldn't resist this & these when we were in Philly.

Oh love, I am voluntarily going to ban myself from your thread - on account of how I'm (inadvertently) causing you to spend money and giving you palpitations and :eek: about hampers that you weren't thinking of making anyway - SORRY!!!

I'm glad all seems to be stabilising with your nephew's health. That is brilliant news i love the 'extra' gifts too - so colourful and cute! No chance of anyone else having the same

All you & MrMWC's festive plans and gatherings look and sound wonderful

Mr MWC thanks you :rotfl: He's decided that the fancy meal will be our Christmas present to each other so he doesn't have to think of a gift for me (and forgetting that he's already asked Father Christmas for a sous vide wand...)

And mentioning the hampers now is a good thing otherwise I would have got to December and gone :eek::eek::eek: If you're expecting them, then I sure the usual recipients will be too!

Is a sous vide wand anything like a Luna Lovegood wand?

I'm not sure what a Luna Lovegood wand is and I'm scared to google it :rotfl:

Greying - hope you cleared the mess up before having to explain to Mr GP...
