louby loo Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Hope everyone had a Good Christmas We had a very hectic week before Christmas- one of our local settings very suddenly closed So sad, they were like our sister setting operating on the other side of town. We've had to do a lot a jiggling and had lots of settling visits on our last week (not ideal) and I spent last week sorting all the paperwork etc. All very sad as the setting was old 50+ years!! What makes it even sadder is this is probably because the land it's on is in a prime building development area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news for you though if this has boosted your numbers I have decided to get off the sofa and get on with some preschool paperwork - well just for an hour or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 I have discovered the joy of cocktail making! Espresso martini anyone? Tonight we have negroni's Tomorrow trying flat white Russian and before the mint goes over will be having a cheeky mojito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSFRebecca Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Merry Christmas all! Sue and I are just comparing Christmas notes - all is well in the land of FSF HQ Panders, we have been making champagne cocktails (champagne glass with a cm of brandy, a brown sugar cube, top up with fizziness) - not making these at FSF HQ though, obviously! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueFinanceManager Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Not quite as posh in my house as Rebecca with her champagne cocktails lol I learnt how to play Beer Pong! I was not very good. I had to drink a lot of beer I do not like beer Other than that a nice time spent with the family and my in-laws eating very well, too well probably .... real horror this morning having to put on trousers that did not have an elasticated waist 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Quiet Christmas as I was unwell for a few days before and still feeling very groggy (but upright) on the day itself. I have been incredibly lazy as have been lacking in energy but the plus side is I have not even thought about school until today. Wishing you all a very happy new year, hope it is healthy and peaceful for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are on the mend. I have been ill at Christmas a few years ago and it's no joke. 12 ish mint leaves 2 tsp sugar juice of 2 limes couple of lime wedges put the above into a tall glass and squash with the back of a wooden spoon. Fill glass with crushed ice (bit posh - I just use small ice cubes ) add 50 mls of white Bacardi and stir. Top up with soda water and more ice. It's a lovely long refreshing drink, which I quite like instead of the old G&T occasionally 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
