Haha :rotfl::rotfl: we have had the usual (pointless) discussion about Christmas dinner tonight, it's almost a tradition. Christmas is Wednesday so he wants chicken nuggets like every other Wednesday, with BE potato waffles and ketchup and he doesn't want wrapping paper on his presents, and he doesn't want many of them because he gets bored after the first 5

It's a real balancing act trying to make it good and exciting for everyone else without him feeling overwhelmed

If thats what ds2 wants to eat and is normal for wednesday and doesnt bother you then let him eat nuggets. Well aware now he doesnt like presents being wrapped. Ok proble is you don't get the same sharing feeling opening them in turn but I suppose you could hand them to him onenat a time. Can you get away with bundling bits up together?
Meal thing well he just has his normal tea while you have dinner but has to sit at table while you do the magic xmas bit of sharing a meal and conversation.
I suposse it is slightly easier as it is just you 5 and no one who is not aware of your ds2s special gifts.
You are lucky enough not to have to cook so you should have some epic new quotes by the time the day is out.
Are you planning on tracking santa online yourself just to give ds2 the idea that people do pointless things for fun.
I am already cringing wondering what dads latest joke will be:rotfl:

Evening all. Went to the pub tonight, and a few things came out, one of them was that I spend too much time on here, so......how does one get PPRed?? You cant type the !!!! word, so what can you do without being nasty to someone?

What are you trying to say your mates at the pub are better company than us? :eek::eek::eek:

Forgot to say, my As had bars if their best own chocolate ( I want to say taste the difference but not sure if right) reduced to 50p honeycomb abd a winter spice one. Chocolates looked ramsacked:eek:

Been putting my hampers together tonight and wrapping them. Decided against getting the cellophane and just using wrapping paper as it's more eco friendly and I do seem to have more rolls than I know what to do with.

I may have missed it, but as I have seen it mentioned a few times and not caught up, since when is Jus-Rol dairy? Or is it just that Ts are letting you use the voucher? No freezer space or I may be tempted to partake .

Also, from you experienced ELITE, has anyone returned anything to one of the well known supermarkets and got the return receipt, but it not appear on their credit card statement? Just wondering as I have one that hasn't appeared from early December?

Many thanks

vanilla twist thanks for noticing my DD2 got back safely. I said to her to leave in the morning as even though couple days ago storm was not forecast until tomorrow I said bad weather may come in earlier and she actually listened to me and set off at a decent time. So relieved.

Sorry to hear you got caught in downpour. Think quite a few more over next couple of days.

Goodnight Elite. Busy day tomorrow. :eek:

Just got back from a midnight trip to Tesco. Store well stocked if you don't mind getting stuff out of the cages blocking the aisles rather than the shelves. Saved me a visit in the mad queues and crowds that will be there tomo and Tuesday!
