What you having for Christmas

[stevewool]

Well what are you wanting for Christmas or would you like should i say, and dont say love and peace for all mankind, when really you want a iphone
Any takers on this ,
I have told my kids I DONT want chocolates, but will they listen , :NoNo::NoNo:
It really must be hard buying for me , i tell them what i would like, a memory stick, a SD card, little things that dont cost much , or give me cash because i can put that towards something big for the camera,
We cant buy you that its to small, so its back to the big tin of sweets ,
Me and Ems are not buying anything we have said , we shall buy when we are away on holiday,
Did i tell you we are going on holiday:biggrin:

Knowing my luck, she'll get me some knives for the kitchen and a gas stove to light them off :cwm25:
Off shopping for aircon tomorrow, then beds and other house hold furniture.
You could call it a holiday, yes :Erm:

We are having all traditional Filipino dishes this coming Christmas. We have a special guest who is the aunt of my husband who just retired as a toxicologist will join us for a meal and chat. I can't wait to eat Filipino foods again as I've been busy at work.:philippines::holiday08::unitedkingdom::tea_cup5:
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year.
I am so glad to be back here. I was not able to find the site. They've change the name.:Hellooo:

Smoked salmon. Especially M&S or Waitrose is just pure ecstasy.
You should try a few grams Michael just for experience. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Salmon from a tin is even worse than roast beef from a tin

[Tawi2]

If its salmon its got to be wild atlantic salmon,a fresh run fish caught and eaten the same day is hard to beat,farmed scottish salmon just isnt the same.

Try the Lidl smoked salmon, better than Waitrose and about 1/3rd the price :xxgrinning--00xx3:

That's pretty much just how it was when I lived in Japan. I would usually end up working anyway.
The nights were awesome though :biggrin:

Nothing much in the way of anything extra for me, there is no point, my dog Charlie is happy with whatever food he gets.
I have a 5 bird roast thing from Lidl and a few good roast potatoes and I am happy. :biggrin:

No different for me, I cook all my own meals and Maritess eats all her own food sometimes she eats leftovers almost a week old (disgusting):NoNo:

That so made me laugh, the amount of containers in my fridge with leftovers in. God forbid if I say I will throw any away as they have been there a few days, or indeed a week :76:

Anyway..... Bought one of those five meat things and some roast potatoes and carrots, parsnips and peas today.... They are going to try that... Wanted Yorkshire's stuffing as well.... But decided not to push it :icon_lol: Told them no rice is on the menu tomorrow!

[mickcant]

Was that a 5 bird roast from Lidl?
I have just cooked mine, shan't put the sticky glaze on it though :cwm25:
Roast potatoes and veg lovely :hubbahubba:
Mick.:smile:

[Longweekend]

Kids are back from Uni so it's a full Xmas lunch for us...:biggrin:

[Michael Parnham]

Maritess working 7 till 7 tomorrow, so I'll be cooking my Turkey, Yorkshire Pudding & veg whilst she's at work then when she arrives home Maritess will have left over Rice with a tiny bit of Turkey & some left over Adobo that's been in the Fridge three days and all that will fill a tea plate and she will only eat half and have the other half reheated for Boxing day:crazy::xxgrinning--00xx3:
