Had mine last Thursday,  have now eaten 10.  Also like Eccles cakes.

Ummmm, Eccles cakes.

Has anyone tried Lidl's ( I know, I'm a scab-bag. There is a recession on you know!!)butter and marzipan mini Stollens? Sooooooooooooo yummy. I eat the lot.  

Lidl's also do some very more-ish gingerbread with dark chocolate coating around this time of year. Not to mention the chocolate covered marzipan.

On the whole, I'd say continental xmas food is better than ours, but we're probably better at the old lights all over the outside of your house thang.

Right that's it, next time he wants to borrow my ladder to put up some chrimbo lights he can feck off!

 

A nice little drinky at the Fortescue is in order tonight I think!

Thursday is the new Friday.

Mrs brought two Christmas puds and two packets of deep filled mince pies from Aldi then hid them away.

cracking girlee at Tiverton Citizens Advice today

Between now and 3pm tomorrow I have to acquire (a) gobstoppers and (b) prizes in case the five year old's been good at school again, in which case both she and her sister (who's always good, at school and elsewhere) will have three smiley faces on their charts.

I had to make it a prize every three smiley faces, otherwise it would have seemed impossible to achieve and therefore not bothering to be good for. The prizes will, however, be small.

Bangy bangy head after too much vino at the Fortescue last night. When will I ever learn.....  

bangy bangy head after too many twiglets and cider last nite, when will I ever learn....

Bleeding nose and blurred vision after snorting crystal meth off the toilet floor, had a bit of a sesh with Nigella last night, when will I ever learn?

Oooh, The Fortescue. My watering hole. You're not that lady with an ice-cream cone tattooed on your face, with a red mohican that sings the Chilean national anthem whilst accosting strangers, are you?

Just thought I'd ask, seeing as this is the unpleasant experience I had in the Forty a few weeks back. 

I got them day-glo slinkies. Two in a box, £1 a box. Pound shop innit.

Managed to get away without having any gobstoppers, but that won't last.

Two days with out seeing the little ones. fell and hit my head today this will keep me away from the Albion match.

Scaffolding up, carpet fitters arriving in the morning, the next thing is who will be coming next? The roofers or the rain.

Sounds cool. I wanna carpet my roof too.

Just back from the school Christmas fayre. Spent lots and have lots of goodies in time for the festive fun including a set of minitures of Glynfiddich that are 8, 10 and 12 years old!

It will be  when they come out,   when he finish and  5 minutes after we finish!

On Friday the five year old was dressed as goldilocks. We went to a little carol service which featured the eight year old.

I've recovered now, I think.

My little un gatecrashed his big brothers nativity play today  

He wasn't content to sit and watch from his chair so he leapt up on the stage and joined in  

Walked up the bar this afternoon, no runty cats or stray dogs followed us and the shepherd only had one glass of aguadente. A very nice peaceful and enjoyable walk.

I haven't done much today. That's as mundane as it gets.

Off to Torquay bus (free) or train £9.20 for 2 with rail card, no sign of the roofers, carpet was laid on Saturday.

Run to the scrappies, home shower shave then Doctors, paid council tax, went to dump and bought a large piece of Perspex for £2, bought a pasty and a loaf of bread and it's still only 12.30!

designed the xmas card today, getting it printed on wednesday
