My stairlift decided to have a holiday early yesterday afternoon. Naturally it was just outside its 5 year warranty and nobody had reminded me. It was double cost for the call out and he came within 2 hours. Luckily only a fuse had died so that at least cost me nothing.

I needed to wash clothes tioday but was reluctant to switch on the machine in case of flooding which would be my luck. So far so good but the day is not yet over.

Agus that is horrendous, even if you find somebody to visit between now and New Year, like me you will end up forking out double for a call out.

Cooking goose, goodness knows what oven will look like afterwards!
Absolutely chaotic here, and loving it!
Hope you're all having a great time tchgrin

Went not want.

Merry Christmas, everyone. On top of it all so far.

I want to the cupboard for a jar of cranberry sauce that I thought was unused from last year - its use-by date is 2012. Probably wouldn't kill anyone but a trial spoonful was just about tasteless, so I am making real cranberry sauce after all. Just as well I had emergency cranberries in the freezer.

If that is the worst hitch all will go well.

Happy day to all

Lona Thu 25-Dec-14 12:01:30

Lona Thu 25-Dec-14 11:59:41

Big (((hugs))) lovely soop. Were it not for you opening up the KITCHEN we would never have had this lovely sanctuary to escape to when needed plus a laugh and blether in great company.

Just popped in for a minute to see who's in the kitchen and what goodies are left for me to nibble. Not had time for lunch today as too busy preparing for tomorrow. This is my first Christmas on GN and I am so glad the kitchen is where I started posting. Always a place for a warm welcome and support for all who need it.

Now let me have some of those sticky buns before whenim eats them all tchgrin

Thanks for the warmth and hugs soop. Time for an afternoon break, feet up, cup of coffee and a plate of stollen and some sticky spicy buns. Please eat them all before I do! tchgrin
