and so it begins

Eldest child is en route and there was some problem with her trains and connections - there often is. So now she is delayed, cold and knackered and I think she is having to hang around Manchester Picc.
I asked her yesterday what she was up to today and she said they were going out for breakfast. As far as I could tell that was the only thing on the agenda so I really don't know why she decided to take a late afternoon train ...

So she started messaging, asking about Christmas dinner starters and she then suggested that she makes soup. I say its a bit filling before a big dinner but OK. I suggest making it the day before and then heating it up. She suggests it could be before dinner or as a supper, all very amicable.

I say we have plenty of carrots and onions. Then she suggest celeriac which I turn down because I think it tastes of celery. Eldest child disagrees. She suggests leek and potato but its a bit bland and oniony for me.
Then she has a hissy fit and says she wont do anything as its too hard.

I don't know what is wrong with carrot and coriander but I dare not suggest it without getting my head bitten off.

I'd better go and hide the crosse and Blackwell cans incase they start her off :rotfl:

... wasn't the Heinz glitch still working today? If yes, get a selection and everyone is happy .

just about to disappear off to bed.

Ohs present is stuck en route and not likely to get here before Christmas - eldest child is going to be outraged, I dont think Oh is much bothered. Ive only got a few small bits for him otherwise ... so I am stuck - I can wrap the gin up and the cherry liquers but it all looks a bit desperate at this stage ...

Eldest chid face timed us tonight - she is expecting a replica of the same Christmas as when she was 8 with presents spread throughout the day - its going to be a very short day then.
I might have to come up with more presents for her as well ...

Eldest child sounds like a proper pain in the !!!....how old is s/he now 11!? Jeez! sound like they need to be reeled in and grow up!

Evening All - manic out there this morning but had a late leisurely lunch with a friend in Beefeater which is situated in a business park all nice and tranquil as most offices closed yesterday for Xmas.

Feeling all mellow now - so don't think I will bother with whoopsie time. :rotfl:

Was there a glitch on Jasper Conrad boxes of 3 pairs of socks earlier in the year? I have a box of them in my gift cupboard, but worried incase they were a gift and I end up re-gifting them. I only wear one make of socks, and it isnt these. Plus they have a price of £16 on, so I would not have paid that for them :eek:

Good evening everyone.

OMG the shops were heaving today, but all done and ready for the big day.
