So Here It Is... Merry Christmas!

Hi all, this will be my last post until after Christmas, and hopefully with the amount of alcohol and food we have this will be because it will take me two days to recover!

Well, to update on the last post, Not only has my Brother in law phoned to say he is definitely coming, but he is on his way now, on Christmas Eve. A whole day early! This shouldn't be too hard, as we live not 15 minutes from him, but he is even picking up the dips that Ed the Elder forgot on his second trip to Sainsburys this morning.

The Nephew appeared, stayed asleep until 11am yesterday, and 10am this morning, sat on the PC (and actually downloaded some quite good music for a change), then left us this afternoon to travel to Kent to his Mums for Christmas, which we are pleased about as he does worry her. He'll be back Boxing Day (so probably New Years knowing him).

Jodie, bless her, sold her BMW pride and joy to buy a 4x4, which she is scared of-her thoughts are that if she managed to hit the post of my driveway in a tiny BM, then she'll probably take out my house and half the Street in the Monster truck (and feel free to insert own "women drivers" joke here). My God Sons (useless) Father wants to see him on Christmas Day (my thoughts are it's to be annoying and because she told him she was coming up to our house and he hates me, as I once wrote quite a mean blog about him on My Space, surprisingly he could actually read), so she's stuck, but as of last night she still had nothing confirmed, so fingers crossed she'll be with us.

Ed bought a big turkey, and a big bit of beef too, so no matter how many come to us we should have enough.

Off to have a little pre-Christmas day feast for dinner.

I hope you all saw your E-Card, if not, click on the link

So, all that's left is for me to wish you a wicked Christmas day, hope you all have a great time, and will be posting pics on here very soon!

Christmas Calamities Continued.

Question.

How can a person know what sized turkey to buy when you still don't know, with four days to go who is coming for Christmas dinner?

If it's just Ed the Elder, Mini, Ed the Littler and myself, then a turkey crown will do, as to be fair, none of us are that fussed on the taste side of turkey, and we always say we're going to get something different, but the traditional bit gets us everytime.

However, if it's all of the above, plus my friend Jodie from Kent, her two year old (who is my Godson), Ed's brother and the Nephew, then a turkey crown is not going to be big enough.

Jodie, who is a lapdancer (yes, really) is a size 8 and has a great figure, but can eat two double cheeseburgers and large fries in McDonalds like it's a salad, Alan eats nothing but Fray Bentos pies so gets a good feed up at ours, and the Nephew can inhale a loaf like he hasn't eaten for a month.

But can we get definite yeses from any of them?

Nope.

Jodie has a good excuse- she's in Kent, and the roads are icy and treacherous, so if she's snowed in that can't be helped.

However, Alan can be phoned every hour of Christmas day from 9am to give him the dinner will be ready in (insert hour here), and he lives not a 15 minute walk from us. Yet for the last two Christmases he has turned up at 9pm, and 10pm. Although he does eat his dinner, even though its cold and dry (see, after those pies anything is better).

And The Nephew has not been seen since Thursday morning, and is missing presumed partying in the depths of trendy London.

Hmmm.

So, even though I have bought and wrapped all the presents, have cleaned the carpet, had a mass clear out of junk, and got my dress ready, I still have no bloody food! I hate being so unorganised, and fear at this rate there will be no turkeys, or meat of any form, and we will be destined to eat chicken nuggets and the tub of pasta that's been in the freezer since we moved in.

Bah!

Bloody bloody Christmas, I shall be glad when its over, and I love Christmas.

I think next year I shall book some seats at my local pub's offering.
