You can come with me, I'm going in January :j:j:j

I'm looking at flight options as it looks like we might have a few spare days after about the 14th....it also looks like DS might be in a position to join us as he will be between modules after a set of exams....he's currently deciding whether to come with us or come home to look after the cat!

I have a growing list of things I need to get from various outlet shops and then of course theres visiting all the usual haunts as well...can you believe that we are possibly the only family that ever goes to Florida and never goes near Disney!
We did it for a few years when everyone was a lot younger but apart from a quick trip down to Disney Springs last year we haven't seen Mickey for years.

I have just won a 30 year battle:D

OH has always refused to put in an outside tap, his excuse previously was that we would have had to pay extra know the water rates (if they had found out about the tap) but as we are nowith on a meter he has ran out of excuses:D

OK, I will have to wait till early spring, but well worth it.

Congraulations.... while he is at it ask for a jakuzzi and outdoor shower......then run

Not sure if the above link will work, the new Tosco Xmas magazine is out. There aren't any decent money off vouchers this year though:(

I did pick up the Lidl Xmas brochure and that had 40% off mature cheddar 830g, panettone classic 1kg, Belgian chocolTe she shells 250g and spiced biscuits 600g, so better than nothing.:)

Serve it on christmas plates with a cracker on the side....

root vegetables maybe to make it wintery

How about doing something with the rice adding either some herb for green or experimenting with jewelled rice I think people add pomegranate seeds so there are flecks of red...

or how about just getting something like a holly mould like you would use for baking and shaping the rice on the plates before you dollop on the curry...I'm thinking more along the lines of how it's presented rather than it acually being chrismassy if that makes sense


Failing that ask the boss for her suggestion......

How about a turkey curry rhos. Bung a few raisins in it, some pomegranate for colour, maybe a few walnuts?

Just seen it needs to be a vegetable one. I love adding nuts and seeds to curries, apart from that peppers have a bit of colour to give it a Christmassy feel, probably not a good idea to use sprouts though.

I am now sandwiched - my neighbours on both sides now have their Xmas wreaths on their doors.

But only one gift left to buy, so not bad on the present front.

I received my first card in mid-October :eek::eek: from someone who was going away up to and including the festive season.

That sets a new record here for the earliest Xmas card ever received... :eek:

I would move house...... far too early
