To be honest Christmas isn't a religious holiday for most people anymore. Giftmas describes it much better!

I used my minute to eat an extra flapjack. =)

Morning everyone!

Work was mental last night!

I can imagine. I'm ok. Having coffee then tea. Have you ever had white chocolate spread? It's quite nommy.

Nice!
No I haven't! I'll have to try it

My friend has just ordered costa for us
I have a gingerbread latte

Nice one! I think I had that last year.

It's really nice!

I want to try this:

Quality Street® Toffee Penny Latte with Light Dairy Swirl

Oooh that sounds nice!

I had that on Monday tamobhuuta. It is nice.

I will try it next Costa trip.

I wish I liked coffee so I could have all those yummy sounding drinks. And so I can wake myself up.

I may have misheard the radio advert but I think it said somewhere is doing a chocolate orange hot chocolate!

I think Costa is doing that.

I had a mince pie and feel Christmasy.

We've been for our Christmas lunch!
Soooo full!

Did you have turkey?

Yep!
And a black forest waffle for dessert!

Pigs in blankets are where it's at.

Those sounds great. Idk what we veggies are going to have. And I hate Christmas pudding.

We also had pigs in blankets!

I'm not a fan of Christmas pudding either

I like christmas pudding but only in small quantities. Home made is vastly better than store bought too.

I'm not sure what to do about christmas dinner this year, like normally I'd be all over the pigs in blankets but I feel I'm not going to enjoy them so much this year because I'd feel guilty now that I've pretty much gone meat free. And I'd feel silly saying to my parents to do me a veggie version.

That is a predicament!
It's Christmas though, so guilt stuff is allowed!

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too.

'**** it, it's Christmas' is universally recognised!

True!

Morning everyone!

Morning.

How's everyone today?

Not bad thanks!
We are going to 'Sunday on the square' today.
Lots of live music and Christmas stalls!

How are you?

Hi np and Cacoethes. Hope you're both well.

Hey tamo :)
How are you?

I now can't go to the Christmas market because I've been struck with a mystery illness (definitely not covid!)

Oh no, mystery illnesses are the worst. Something you ate yesterday?

I had to rush around emergency tidying the house this morning for my friend who came for a brief lunch.

My friend thinks possible blood sugar crash.
It's not like an 'eaten something weird' illness
I've never experienced anything like this before!

Well done!
Did you have a nice time?

Ah yeah hypoglycaemia feels ****ing awful. I know you might not want to but eating something less sugary and more carbohydratey will help bring your sugar levels back to normal and keep them there.

It was ok, nothing special and only for half an hour because she's working near to my house today. But it did force me to tidy up so I can see my kitchen again.

I don't think I have anything carbohydratey. My friend is out, I'll ask him to pick up a sandwich or something.

Well that's a good thing at least!

Regarding the eye thing, that sounds like what happens to me when my sugars drop. Sometimes the feelings don't go away for a while even after your sugars have stabilised.

That sucks
It's really annoying!
And does not help the nausea!

It's a peculiar feeling for sure.

It is indeed!

I was too late for my friend to get a sandwich but he has frozen roast potatoes. That should work!

I hope they are nice crispy roast potatoes. Hope you feel better soon.

My kitchen door won't close and I've tried my best to make my kitchen cat friendly but I'm worried Crookshanks will get into something. I started by pushing the table over the door to keep it closed but then I had to go in and out the front door and back door any time I needed to get into the kitchen. I put in a repair request but I don't know when they'll be able to come. Such a worry!

How is everyone elses day going?

Thanks lindsay :)

Oh no! That is a worry!
Hope they don't take too long to fix it!

It's not an emergency so it will be during the week anyway. I hope they can get back to me quickly so I know when I need to be in. I have to collect a parcel from the delivery office in another town and it has weird opening hours.

Are you managing to relax or focus on something Beckie?

We have weird opening hours at ours too!

Not really
My eyes are still being weird
But I have potatoes now!

What do you put on your potatoes if anything?

Gravyyyyy

I didn't have anything on the potatoes but usually gravy!

Morning everyone!

Hi Cacoethes, how are you? Any plans for today?

I still feel dreadful physically!
Don't know what's going on!
No plans

How about you?

I'm feeling bad mentally but I need to sort myself out because my godmother is visiting later.

Hope you have a nice visit

Yello
