Wish I had some Xmas chocs now.... right now. Not tomorrow, not "in a bit if I go out"..... I mean right now.
Do you like mints? You could get some candy canes for the tree. ( fwiw I love the way they look but find them unhygienic to have about. I liked them when small. )
I think you can get chops with dangly stringy things too cannot you?
We never go crazy with junk food at all, but I realised today I have one box of chops on and its a gift. I'm not sure when I a, going to do groceries.0 -

You know when you start a sentence/conversation, then never finish it and realise later.... it occurred to me that when I asked your ages and Lydia said hers and I immediately said "OMG - that's really old, how do you feel about that?" ... that I was actually joking as I am clearly the oldest. I do hope she didn't think I was just being rude.
When I said it, we were all supposed to laugh at me.
I feel younger again since thirty. Is that normal? When does it change again?0 -

Another NP here who would like to say the right thing to Bugslet and wants to borrow GDB's words. Thoughts and prayers also for viva, fc and big dog.PasturesNew wrote: »It's a work in progress.... stringing balls takes time. About 3 minutes/ball at this rate.
No glitter... not got a working vacuum
Edit: Now added about 10 balls ... and a bunch of green straigh dangly things (no idea what they'd be called) ... same material as baubles, but called "icicles", so vertical drops.PasturesNew wrote: »Tinsel can be nice... I like to use 2-3 lengths of it to hide the feet/base of an artifical tree. I just pool it round the bottom. I can pick some up easily enough at the 99p shop.
Errr ... I've never met any tinsel that didn't moult, so I wouldn't recommend tinsel without a vacuum.PasturesNew wrote: »Tomorrow is Xmas tree chocolate buying day

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
Xmas tree chocs HAVE to be santas, snowmen, baubles and similar wrapped in foillostinrates wrote: »Do you like mints? ....

No others will do ..... only variation would be liqueur barrels ... but they'd still need to be wrapped in foil with a little gold/silver hanging loop attached
It's one of my "Xmas things". Apparently, when growing up we'd never have them and every year I'd want them ... and was told "No, we used to have them and one night you came down and ate the lot, so we no longer have them". So now I always get them to hang on my own tree. Many years ago I forked out for the expensive Cadbury ones.... but now I only buy the cheapo versions as I just want the chocs, don't need branded chocs.
I have absolutely NO idea what chops are, or if that's an iPadism .... it can't be chips ... and I can't get any chaps to hang off my tree....0 -

I didn't realise it was a joke - sorry I didn't laugh at you as planned. I know you're older than me, so I thought if you were surprised I was "so old", it must mean you thought I looked younger than I am, so I took it as a compliment. If it was really a joke, does that mean I was being conceited to interpret it that way?

I'm wondering if chops might be chocs? But I'm not sure.
