Decided wasn’t worth it and no point when I’m living on my own. If it was up to me I wouldn't bother either, the kids are all grown up and we go south to the MiL's for Christmas anyway.

Velociraptor 6 Jan 10:21pm, 6 Jan 2025 73,078 posts	0 Velociraptor We still have an entire home made Christmas cake. Someone with excellent baking credentials gave it to my dad, who passed it on to us because it was a lot for him to eat by himself (although I don't doubt his cake-eating capacity). I'd intended to cut it up and take it to parkrun on Saturday, but I forgot and it's just as well because other people had obviously had the same idea. The tree is still up. Maybe tomorrow.

Vixx 6 Jan 10:49pm, 6 Jan 2025 2,272 posts	0 Vixx I still have loads of chocolate as I bought extra to give in case I forgot gifts for people. Since Mom died that number has dropped significantly and I forgot to consider that. So I still have: 2 x 890g blocks of Dairy Milk that were a more efficient pence per 100g than the 400g blocks. 1 x Orange Toblerone 1 x Bojangles Truffles 2 boxes of Maltesers 1 x Terry's Chocolate Orange 2 x Chocolate Marzipan logs Chocolate coins that the wife opened before I could say they were for the niece/nephews. Plus the stuff at my wife's house that was bought for us. I don't have much of a sweet tooth any more so it could take a while. But, I do not regret going into Lidl on Saturday and walking past the "Seasonally reduced" section to find they were selling a fully iced Christmas Cake (apparently serves 16) for the grand price of £1. I did only buy one because there's only me likes it and my SiL made one for our Christmas hamper, but no icing or anything on hers.
