yes. same time, same place. My oh looked distinctly uncomfortable when I told him the plan. I tapped him on the arm and said 'it's ok. I have the credit card.' He looked even more unhappy then. Can't imagine why that would be, can you??

Hubby didn't dare peep a word or he really will be doing the cleaning. See you tomorrow. Now I've just got to clear up here, make the beds, do the washing and ironing, get my hair done, pack a bag or two, hop in the car for the 260 km drive. And we just have to stop off at an outlet on the way. Better get cracking.

Well go do then!! See you tomorrow if you ever get through that list of stuff!! My dh keeps growling at the IKEA adds on telly. I think it's cos they take so much of his money. Not as much as the tax bill he had to go and pay this morning though!!

Stay alert for any alcoholic cider please.

We will have a look, but all I found last time was that non-alcoholic fizzy pear juice!!

Do you have the bottega verde, I think it is called? Or health food shops in general? My friend has found it there. Can't stand the stuff personally but I know lots like it.

Look out for the Christmas goat......

Put the washing on, ironing's done, given up on the hair idea and sod the bathrooms, they'll only need cleaning again when I get back which just leaves the bags to pack once I dig out some winter clothes.

Found a can in my cupboard the other day and we don't even drink the stuff. Might use it in a pork dish, which is probably had it in the first place.

I guess you've answered this before, so apologies if I've forgotten! Why do you live between Verona and Turin??? Other than a love of driving......

indiebird

Huh? Am I being thick today?!!

TestaRossa

Nope...They are selling wicker goats as Christmas ornaments.

indiebird

Ahhh!! Well I'm sure they're very tasteful and significant in Sweden!!

Seeing as this thread has gone off topic and got onto Christmas - the only new decorations I might get this year are some solar powered led outdoor lights.

My sister had some wrapped around a tree in her garden last year that she'd ordered from internet - came from China of course but they were cheap and worked really well. I still haven't seen any solar powered ones here so might order some myself and string them out along the terrace. I bet they'll look better than a straw goat

Who us? Off-topic? Never!!!

Are you sure it's a goat and not a reindeer without antlers?... me and 37100 will have to investigate tomorrow won't we!!
