Allotments 4 All

It's Christmas card time !!

So I thought yours could be the FIRST!! ;D  Lotties rock!

I'd like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas.

Me, I'm ecstatic, from thinking earlier this year OH & I would be on our own with the brood in Oz,  they have BOTH decided to come home.  Full house next w/e/  ;D

So, the cake is done, the puddings made, and the mincemeat waiting in readiness for the myriad of mince pies required.

I love Christmas!

Flowerlady....your supposed to plant the rhubarb before making wine of it... ::) ;) But a very Happy Christmas to you too!! Really chuffed for you that you'll have your brood about you!! Have a wonderful time....xxx

 :)

Thank you for your good wishes Flowerlady ;D  So glad you will have your brood with you - have a lovely Christmastime.

Happy Xmas fellow allotmenters!

Happy Christmas to everyone indeed.

Lets hope our joy is more in the giving than the receiving.

Would people humour me and stop saying Xmas?  It drives me mental and you know what can happen if I get tetchy  ;D
So Merry Christmas you lot that's an order  ;D
I am particularly festive tonight as old man has bogged off out and while he's been gone there was a knock at the door.  No-one there.  How strange.  Noticed little piece of paper on mat.  It led me to outside bog.  How wonderful - a visitation from a white beared elderly gent I suspect.  A big box which says on it M & S Luxury Christmas hamper.  (God you answered my prayers)  Considers for one moment that this might be a present from my old man to someone.  Dismiss instantly and pile in with dog's gnashers helping me wrench cardboard asunder.  Sat with dog eating cheesy straws, Italian chocs, glass of chardonnay and put some in me soup.  Will start on the petticoat tails with my luxury Javan coffee  ;D  He'd better get home soon or there'll be nowt left.  We've been in the assorted nuts and dog is so pigged out now he's fallen asleep.  What fun  ;D

TM looks like you're in trouble - the feisty one doesn't like it, but don't worry she's stuffing herself stupid with wine and chocolates so soon won't care anymore ;D

Merry Chrimbo everyone ;D

LOLOL!!! Happy Christmas, Wards, Wards OH and of cos Russ, bless him!! Where's me choccie then?? ??? ;D ;)

Wardy. THANKYOU I thought it was only me!!!! I take great pains to write Christmas and not Xmas!!
I hope poor old Russ doesn't have another billious attack with all the goodies you are giving him. 

Flowerlady. I bet you are over the moon. I know my 83year old sister loves it when the two Grandsons and families manage to get home for Christmas from Australia(Although their parents always go out at least once a year to visit but sister will not fly!!)

To the rest of people would like to send best wishes and thanks for the many bits of advice and laughter....made my year!!!!


HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Oooh Lottie, let me pick you one.  Don't lick that one Russ it's for Lots.  Bad dog.  We have all manner of truffles, nutty jobs, white choc, black choc, turkish delight, fudge, rum truffle, nut truffle, fudge truffle, some as big as yer ed truffle, mint choc, strawb choc, mint choc, lime choc, orange choc, blah blah.  Oopps sorry none left.  I HAD to try them all didn't I.  Me and Russ are choclotey faced and stuffed but quite pleased that Santa called.  We hope he calls again. I can detect a smell of burning downstairs will go and investigate ........

Oops left soup pan on.  Tsk.. Note to Santa could I please have a new heavy bottomed pan?  I feel a sense of de ja vous ........  ;D ;D  

QuoteTM looks like you're in trouble - the feisty one doesn't like it

No worries Delilah - it won't be the last time  :) I'm not scared of Wardy  ;)

am I?

Oooo fudge truffle please, Wards....Mmmm love em...and TM am soooo glad not in your shoes right now you'll get the one Russ  licked..  ;D ;)

ewww! :P

Its Ok Lottie - he can take it - pull the other one TM your're quaking in your boots aren't ya  ;D

Turkish Delight - my fave!!!!!!!!

(http://bestsmileys.com/christmas3/19.gif)

Right   Lovely chocs for friends but TM you get the iccky ones fallen on the floor which have gathered fluff.  It's called fibre.  Eat it all up now, it;s good for you  :)  Russ chewed and spat out nutty ones  :) Bless

Have a very Merry Christmas everyone and a peaceful new year. I hope everyone all has a REALLY nice time and eats LOADS! Dan :-)

I'll definitely be eating loads since I'll be cooking it. I just hope nobody lands themselves in hospital this time.

I am quite picky with my chocolate centres.  Don't like any fruit/choc, ginger/choc, booze/choc but the absolute worst is mint/choc.  For some reason I will eat orange revels (at a push) but cant stand the raisin ones.  I normally bite them in half and and put them back in the bag if they are raisin ones.  Stops the oh from nicking the rest.  Save me a fluffy caramel Wardy.

HAPPY CHRISMAS ALL ;D

Definitely getting into the swing now.   ;D

Bought the BIGGEST red and gold tinsel bell to add the the Christmas deccies collection that you have ever seen.   ;D

Off to buy tree tomorrow, got to be ready for when the brood comes home.  Have to leave the tree decs for them.  That's TRADITION

Remind me never to share a bag of chocs with Bags... ::) What treats tonight then, Wardy?? Erm you got any ickle pickled onions....actually, think I may have done enough pickling last night..... :-\ ;)

To all on A4A I hope you all have a lovely christmas and a happy new year, but while your all having christmas dinner please please think of me working christmas  day  2 till 10 :(
Iain

Iain. What rotten luck. Never mind I will have an extra portion of everything in case you don't get time for your Christmas dinner. Hope you have got Boxing Day off!!!!

Treats for tonight are fewer as russ and I have made quite a dent in the food hamper already.  Well left on own on Friday night me and Russ had fuddle. The cheesy twists have all gone, ditto choccies - I left the fluffy ones and ones which Russ had licked but didn;t like in the box for the old man  ;D.  Had one bottle of wine, hic, oops I lied make that two  :o  What's left in there, rummage, rummage.  Ooh very nice - a great big box of shortbread.  Ooh lovely  :)  No nuts, ah shame.  Bottle of mulled wine.  That will do for visitors  ;D  Got a Christmas cake and pudding to go at yet.  There's a pot of spicy chutney in there and some brandy butter.  Don't know about the rest of yous but I'm quite getting into the swing of Christmas already  ;D

Wardy. I just can't believe that neither you or Russ were ??? sick after that lot.

Thanks EJ Do you mind if I have TWO brandies? One to toast you and family and one to that lovely lady in your previous avataar (Nanna?)

You do that Lorna, and yes, my nan (dad's mum, who will be spending Christmas with her eldest daughter).

I don't mind sloe, damson or mulled flowerlady, rather partial to all of them!  In fact, I have a jug of mulled wine downstairs.....think I will go get me a nice warm glass whilst I start the dinner!  ;D

Sante Nic has gone....... and Father Christmas can take his place....
One pile of (small - 5 december) presents has gone to make place for another ....pffffff ;D
