Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hello @Adge, @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @outlander

still here , but not for long

I have not put the forum on my new phone yet

Evening all

Trust everyone has had a nice day,

Today has gone better than expected for our family, while tireing it was a nice day. I have had some anxiety around potential family politics with my family but it all went much better than expected, and we will be having a nice family lunch tomorrow for my big bros birthday.

It was nice this year to have our own family time and lunch without having to go visiting for lunch. (No one in my family seemed interested in arranging anything so we just did our own thing, I was still concerned we would be expected to turn up however) Will be aiming to make that our time from now on given it turned out so well. The boys also enjoyed it this way.

Little people have been up here since before 5am so I am completly wrecked, hoping for a good night sleep tonight. 😪

Best wishes to all

It’s been a good day here so far. Mil came for lunch, then left as I dressed the pavlova for desert .... :face_with_rolling_eyes: .... but that worked out well enough. Because it was just us, mr. f&h and I went visiting, then came home to visitors whom we then shared the pav with .,.. 👍

Older kids coming over for a movie a bit later .... other ones called from overseas ..... all good ❣️

Happy Boxing Day all!

Yesterday here was a mixture of too much work followed by a really nice and enjoyable end result, so I'd say it was worth it...

I've been pretty flat lately, so all my preparation was running behind schedule; most importantly, the table and the space surrounding it were really chaotic. Not enough room to sit the family down for lunch chaotic. So with a bit of help from family we managed to get that cleared. (No way was the rest of the room tidy, but I don't think anyone cared. ) Lunch got to the table late, but was very yummy, followed by everyone exchanging gifts and playing a board game before Hubby took the oldest two home for dinner. Our youngest had decided to write up cards for everyone in our block, and pop them into letterboxes with candy canes, so her older brother helped her deliver them. Ummm... our block includes our little local supermarket. Whoever unlocked this morning has found a card and a bunch of candy canes that they slipped under the door. Finished the evening with a stroll down the main street to enjoy the lights set up on the shopfronts. Our town has a heritage overlay on the main street, so imagine that all lit up with fairy lights. Lovely.

Needed that. Roll on New Year.

Safe travels @Shaz51, trust the trip goes well.
