With less than 2 weeks to prepare for overstuffing of one sort or another, my master plan to avoid the hoards (sic?) is ready, I hope. Our Christmas holiday has been put on hold for a year, no thanks to work. Frustration aside, it does give us another 11 months to do absolutely bugger all and then panic for the last 4 weeks before we leave.As a result, I am in charge of poisoning ourselves, my mum and her current squeeze on Christmas Day.
It's going to be hard to do without some sort of organisation (not to mention absolutely not being able to quaff at least one bottle of champers on Christmas Eve), but I'm determined to make the effort and get my act together early. Today in fact.
So with list in hand for cake and biscuit ingredients, I shall orf to the hopefully quiet supermarket this afternoon and begin what seems at the moment, to be a precision military quest.
Will my kourambiedes burn? Will Fur drop the cake on the floor? Will I defect to Turkmenistan?
Tune in soon to find out.
