We've put away the tree and the Christmas decs (bar the wreath - that never made it out of the loft angry). Has anyone else? Or do you follow the 12 days of Christmas?

I'm eating the choccie biscuits that came with hem. And the wine will get drunk sooner or later. (Or should that go to a food bank? confused)

jingl are you the same person who searched her son's bedroom for bits of Easter type choc? You know you are!?

People can change - perhaps jingl is more health-conscious these days.

How can people remember these things? confused

DH went to Tesco for a few bits this morning and came home with a large box of luxury chocolates reduced to £5. He said he thought I would like the pretty box to keep after we ate the chocolates (I would). tchhmm It's not like we've finished everything else we got (or even started some of it). tchgrin

I bought a small pre-decorated tree from Tesco this year which is supposed to be plantable (do hope so; as a kid we always used the same tree and put it back in the garden each year - it lasted for 10 years till we moved and became an old friend!) The new one is still looking really healthy and hasn't dropped its needles! But if it doesn't take, well - it was only a tenner and I can always try again next year! It will stay indoors till Twelfth Night, when I'll put it out until I can get it planted. We haven't done any other decorations, but the cards will go out in the bin on Twelfth Night too! Then we'll start the annual de-clutter (we might even finish it this year . . . !)
