Nice People Thread No. 15, a Cyber Summer

Glad you are recovering SS.

Kids are watching a movie which seems to involve animatronic chipmunks and a pitch range not suitable for ears older than 15

I was back in bed again within an hour of my last post but at least I got to do something approaching normal stuff over Christmas.

That's good Sue I hope you continue to improve today.

Had a good day yesterday; exchanging gifts with DD2 and family in the morning, then tea with DD1 and DSIL.

Am amused to see that I'm being offered two-for-the-price-of-one tickets for the Ideal Home Show, as a thank-you for going to the Ideal Home show At Christmas which I didn't attend

No singles. No billy no mates allowed.

The ideal home does NOT contain single people.... get thee all gone you mateless b4st4rds ... shoo ... shoo ... you won't be in the market to buy our overpriced items.

I do HATE "2 for 1".

I spent a bit of time working on my family tree over the last couple of days. And on December 25th I discovered that I am a descendant of someone called... Sarah Crismas. I so want to find a missing sister called Mary.

Or at the very least a P. Crismas.:D

There's a lot of the Christmas family in the areas in the parish registers I've been looking through for ancestors, but I'm not related.

On my paternal side I've a Joseph/Mary who had a son Joseph, who married a Mary. But not Christmas as the surname

I am utterly .... over-stuffed. Eyes bigger than my belly and all out of food sync.

Randomly decided to defrost a slice of bramley apple pie earlier, so that's in a lidded tub defrosting gently.... I then decided to try to use up all the leftovers from Xmas Dinner. I ended up with a plate containing mashed swede, mashed potato, newly made stuffing with chestnuts I added, some shredded turkey meat and more chestnuts, roasted parsnip and gravy. Way too much on the plate, but as I was using it all up and washing up the storage containers I had to just do it.

Just 180 grams of turkey meat in the fridge remaining. I'll put a further dent in that tomorrow.

Can't move ..... that apple pie that looked such a great idea's not looking so great now, maybe by 8-9pm I'll be able to face it

Don't worry, Pastures, you're not alone!:D


Compared with two days ago, or even yesterday, I've hardly eaten anything today!

Well, I say hardly anything.........

The mini Christmas dinner yorkshires, tiny weeny bite-sized things, had to be eaten today, So I had those this morning, together with two wedges of panettone. I was going to eat the last two wedges as well, but couldn't manage them.

That was at about 9.30 this morning, then I ate a small round of goat's cheese at about midday.


Still got a fair bit of stuff in the fridge, but my appetite's gone!
Must be all those calories from the single malts!

I just thought it was quite funny that I didn't even go to the event they are supposedly thanking me for going to We shan't go to the Spring one either.
