Santa is on his way.

[BobD]

Just checked the Google Santa tracker and he is a few miles south of Invacargill (NZ) and will be here in UK in about 14 hours so you better all be good.

The sprouts are on the stove (OK I know it s late but I've been busy) and the Turkey is all ready to go so now it is just prep the parsnips and help make some sticky toffee puddings while Sam makes cauliflower cheese to put in the fridge. Pressies all wrapped ( the ones small enough but I expect my Porsche will just have to make do with a pink bow) and everything going to plan. What could possibly go wrong?

May the force be with you all but for goodness sake stay off the booze.

You are late. I put my sprouts in the slow cooker last night Bob. xxx

Sprouts will never be ready at this rate! Hope you have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year one and all! I shall toast us all with my Co Op Alco free Rose Sparkly! Xx

I have catered for 8 and as of today it's down to just 2, dropping like flies 😩Not much Christmas cheer here I'm afraid.

Oh no - bad luck 😕 It’s an omicron lottery atm isn’t it? X

[jeanjeannie50 in reply to bantam12]

Oh no, that doesn't sound good!

[bantam12 in reply to jeanjeannie50]

Two daughters gone down with covid in the last few days.

[jeanjeannie50 in reply to bantam12]

Hope they will both be ok. X

[belindalore in reply to bantam12]

Prayers they will be well soon. 🙏

Sprouts have to go on 1/8 or they will be too firm

[JaneFinn]

All sounds perfect, Bob! I’ll have your sprouts - love ‘em underdone 😁

[jeanjeannie50]

Hope Santa brings me the heated throw I asked for. Yes, I like sprouts too, but like Jane prefer them under cooked. Luckily my daughter will be doing all the lunch prep.

Happy Christmas Bob.

[Gertsen]

Merry Christmas and thank you for all your wisdom through the years.

[Ppiman]

Thank you, Bob. I didn't hear the sleigh bells again last night. I've listened each year since a child as I just know I heard them back then.

Happy Christmas.

Steve

[Singwell]

Thank you Bob. Same to you. Oh dear...I've been plotting a half glass of locally made dry cider...

[Fastbeat]

Happy Christmas everyone

Look what Santa bought me Sir Bob..........

[BobD Volunteer in reply to Ducky2003]

Sweet Ducky. I got a Dewalt drill, a new watch and a drone. Lets see how long it take me to write that off. lol 😁 Got a Drones for Dummies book to absorb before I put the battery in.

[Ducky2003]

🤣. I hope the drone will not be used for any nefarious activities.........no looking in folks bathroom windows 😁..........think of your pulse rate. There is a black McLaren jacket as well but that one's going back as I saw how much hubby paid for them, so one is perfectly adequate. My friend's comment when he saw this one was "I see your application to join the coastguard has been accepted" 😁.

[BobD Volunteer in reply to Ducky2003]

Too frightened to put the batteries in yet. Still reading all about what can go wrong. lol 😁
