That'd save on the washing up!

Particularly with the way glasses seem to get broken in this house. Maybe I should buy glasses next. :T

I feel a very lazy Christmas coming on, although thinking about it I might end up with all the childcare for grandchildren. To take some advice from Lionel Bart I think I'd better think it out again.

Aww you're lucky! Mine are going away for Xmas

Christmas is always quiet here...I live in retirement-housing (despite being a good few years too young!...I was given the permission to move in because it was the only way the council could accommodate my need for a ground-floor flat with level-access shower and additional rails et.c)...I celebrate Christmas with my Mum - who as some here know is not only my next-door neighbour but also my carer!

We have ordered our venison for Christmas Day...we have a German Supper on Christmas Eve, and then open our presents...and then the venison for Christmas lunch.

I went to the bank today with the contents of my piggy-bank of loose change...£26...not bad for mostly less than 20ps!...this will help with a few treats at Christmas.

One small 'luxury' is going to be the Christmas TV Times!...I know you can get TV listings cheaper if you buy a weekend paper...or get them free online ...but there is something special about leafing through the Christmas edition of the magazine...and circling all the stuff you plan on watching but fall asleep through!...Actually we will have TWO listings as Mum has the German one sent to her (she has German channels on her satellite)

Four of mine, four partners and half a dozen grandchildren. Some coming for ten days some for only two. It will be lovely but chaotic and exhausting.

That could work, I always think they behave better for other people. I bet mine wouldn't sit on their behinds waiting to be waited on hand and foot at your house like they do at mine.
