Dickensian Christmas Trip back to UK update.
I know at least 3 people are dying for this thead to appear, mainly so they can point out I am wrong, however ...
Only 8 days till we leave, panic has begun and I am trying sleeping drugs on myself to deal with the 22 hours in hell I mean flight to get there
I am also disapponted UK is still 14 degrees, for heavens sake it must be minus 2 by now.
Off to buy some last minute odds and ends, stab proof vest, capsicum spray, stuffed koala keyrings and postcards of large houses with pools for relatives who think we live the dream.
Can anyone advise of the best fake tan? you know how it is, live in OZ the pom relatives expect you to at least be the colour of a bag of jaffas.

The West coast is suffering terrible floods with more heavy rain expected. Transport is badly affected. Don't use the fake tan it will be quickly washed off!

Re: Dickensian Christmas Trip back to UK update.
I'm sure the frosts will be underway in the next few weeks. There is a definite shift towards Christmas in the last week or so. Got the envelope from the kids school for Christmas dinner this week, bargains everywhere - just bought 2 x 1L of baileys for £25. All the shops have lights up and the radio has started to play Christmas songs.
The weather has been incredibly warm (for Mid-Nov) but hey-ho it gives us something to chat about with the neighbours and its still dark by 4.30 ish.
Enjoy your trip

As for the floods, terrible yes, just like those bush fires you get in OZ. Can't escape unpredictable weather problems no matter where you live.

The most realistic fake tan I have tried is the Lancome mousse one.

Yes, those floods are awful. I think we have to brace for weather chaos wherever in the world we live.
I thought you might like a picture of a pub all ready for the celebrations. It's the 18th century Wyckham Arms in Winchester.

Re: Dickensian Christmas Trip back to UK update.
Hold the thread were not supposed to get those sort of comments till around page 11, somewhere about the time I have been in UK for 2 weeks, have finally surfaced from shopping and dared to post about cheap UK groceries in the OZ forum
Fake tan needs some refinement, tried several of the products mentioned and now have limbs in various shades of tan, peach, orange and a not so organic olive brown.
