This bloody lamb. Instructions say 50 mins in the oven. Arharhar - add an hour to that! I don't know how people cope with a complete turkey! I shall never do this again, that's for sure.

And for everyone who is not feeling so well with all these darn flu bugs going around, best wishes for a quick recovery and soak up the positiveness vibes from our awesome Fmukers :)

All's well that ends well! We had a power cut today in our building (the second one this year!) and for a few panicky minutes this morning I thought Christmas would be cancelled this year. Everything runs on electricity so you can't even make a cup of tea to release the stress! Luckily we had plenty of battery on the mobile so we called the electricity board and everything was back on by 1pm.

Very happy to hear your good news ejwrank!

I had almost forgotten this thread existed.

So what do we all think of the new Christmas adverts? I must admit the M&S one is totally getting on my nerves already and the John Lewis one isn't much better. The one advert I always hum along to right now is the AXA Home Insurance one and that's not even anything to do with Christmas. But the song is great.

It's not even December and you've opened up this thread? You must be under the weather! :p

Anyway this should cheer up McG.

Have you guys seen the budget version John lewis spoof the guy behind the Waterstones Oxford Street social media accounts made? It's rather brilliant, and certainly didn't cost £8m like the John Lewis one:

I am actually, LOL.

I can't wait for Christmas this year. Not because I love it so much but because it means a proper 12 day rest. Unfortunately the Day Centre will be closed between Christmas and New Year too so I have to look after OH, but we might just cocoon with a lot of food and telly. I can cope with that.

Wow! Beate You've let us into the Xmas thread and it's not even December! Although I am starting to panic, I have b*ght no presents yet!

First post I read on opening was you cooking your lamb from last year and it did make me chuckle.

As for adverts, I quite like John Lewis, although I am sure will be sick of it in a few weeks, its on all the time, I hate the Tesco ads, none of the others are proving that memorable.
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

I know you told me earlier.

Like Rainey, I read your lamb post too and it made me laugh!

Rainey: all my hubby's family's presents are wrapped up and OH is taking them on Sunday. Bloody good job too, as my FIL and MIL's pressie is huge and weighs more than me!
