Good morning and happy Christmas Eve Eve 🎅🏻
I have splashed out on some lottery tickets, so fingers crossed 🎅🏻 I don’t buy them very often, but Christmas and miracles ‘should’ go hand in hand 🤣
Today will be a big clean up so it’s easier to make a mess with all the cooking on the big day. We never seem to do very much when we are off, so have decided we’ll have a drive around the villages in the dark to see all the Christmas lights later and then call for fish and chips on the way home. There aren’t many things to do out in the sticks, but this feels like it will be a good Christmassy thing to start off the weekend.We have the big MrT order coming this afternoon, so MrWW will be stressed about his turkey, etc. until it arrives. He’s ordered enough to feed a small army, but was still wondering if we’d have enough 😅 I had to remind him we wouldn’t starve for months even if the shop didn’t turn up! He’s been jealously guarding the Christmas cupboard and was horrified when I popped open some Pringles in front of him…I’m a rebel 🤣
I do hope you all enjoy your day and have something nice to look forward to 🎄🎅🏻⭐️☕️Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Mr WW needs to watch The Good Life Christmas episode when Margo's Christmas wasn't delivered 😆
One Christmas Eve Mr SA bought me a scratch card that cost £5. I moaned like mad about him buying it but all was forgiven when I won £25.
The drive round to look at the lights followed by fish and chips sounds lovely.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2 -
The House Troll and friends have eaten the Christmas snacks three times so far. I could do with borrowing Mr WW to stand guard in the kitchen 🤣 The HT is going to his friend's house tomorrow evening for a couple of hours while I visit my friend who is a doctor and hasn't had time for visits until then. Friend's mum has bought him new pyjamas so he can join in with what they do on Christmas Eve ❤️2

that’s lovely @CRANKY40, I hope he has a good time and that you have a nice troll free visit too ♥️
MrWW daren’t leave me unsupervised to guard your cupboard unfortunately…I’d be like that Derry Girls episode where they went for chocolate coins and one thing led to another 🤣
That was a good win SA. I must revisit that episode, I can only vaguely remember it. He’d make a good Margot 😁Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

You should watch the first Gavin and Stacey Christmas special, where Mick is somewhat turkey obsessed!
