Dates have to be in a 'lozenge' box for authenticity, left untouched and unopened until everything else has been eaten... http://brianclegg.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/anyone-fancy-christmas-date.html


Warnick's Advocaat and Dubonnet are must haves in the drinks dept, best served from a pine clad bar in the corner of the living room...

Figs - dried and compressed into the shape and consistency of a small brick.

Tube of smarties with a get-the-ball-bearing-into-the-clown's-mouth game on the lid.

The leatherette cover bought to hold festive Radio Times.

The smell of simmering sprouts on Xmas eve...

Sherry & babycham for the grown-ups & definitely advocaat. Ready made snowballs are just not the same.

And a Sindy doll, an annual, a board game & a selection box from Santa every single year!

Great day today, just the 5 of us for dinner, although we did pop to the Ivy House for a festive beer before starting the cooking. Family in Ireland were on skype.


Cooking was a team effort with me and the missus, i do the turkey and roasties and she does the rest.


I have already had two snoozes since dinner.


Dulwich Fox, hope you managed to have a good day.

    • A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10! 
    • Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly. 
    • The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time
    • Threads that devolve like this should be moved to the Lounge, so the 'comedy' can continue in an appropriate vacuum.
