Sherry makes the mince for our mince pies. I’ve not tasted better but am always willing to try other’s 😀
She also makes our Christmas cake which is started several weeks before. It’s finished off with rough icing to make a snow scene with a model tree, a Santa and a couple of small children on a sledge. And it’s always lovely. I’m normally the person who eats most of it 🐷

😂. We have a lot of cider in our mince pies Doc, and what doesn’t go in the mince pies goes in Sherry 🍺

I usually make puddings and keep them a year or two. I have some home-made mincemeat from a couple of years ago which hopefully will still be OK for this year's pies - though that's another thing I don't like.

I'm a gingerbread critter fan. Critter as my cookie cutters include hedgehogs and dinosaurs. Nothing says christmas quite like a Stegosaurus cookie with 100s and 1000s scattered across it.

About This Thread

Maintained by geordiegirl
Instructions for the 2021 edition of Fetch Secret Santa:

1) Send an Fmail to geordiegirl with the name and address you want your parcel sent to by 1st November.

Please indicate if you’re ok to post to an overseas fetchie.

2) Join the group linked to this thread (I have recycled 2020 group so please update with a 2021 at the start so we know it is current)
fetcheveryone.com/groups-view.php?id=1296

If you joined last year but don’t wish to partake you can remove yourself from the group.

3) Be Involved..... Please try not to go AWOL the buying of a SS gift is a lovely thing to do but going quiet on the thread/blogs can make it difficult. We’re not asking you to be specific but a few hints around what things make you tick, what you like / enjoy makes it that bit easier and hopefully gets you something you would like.

Of course the main aim is stalking so subtle hints are fine!

4) if you have allergies or particular dislikes then feel free to put them in the group.....

When you receive the details of your victim:

5) Stalk said victim and determine their interests.

Hint.. you can see what threads your victim posts to by typing the below in Google or whatever

VictimsFetchName site:www.fetcheveryone.com

6) Purchase gift(s) you think they will like, we have suggested £10 but up to you and remember handmade gifts are perfect too. It’s the thought that counts.

7) I’m suggesting you post the gift by 1st December as this has helped a successful SS in previous years. But it’s also ok to add an update to the spreadsheet and keep your elf updated so we can let your victim know they’ve not been forgotten. If you are posting overseas please bear in mind it can take longer than UK post.

8) Wait by your post box for your gift.

9) Sit on hands until the big day! No cheating!

On the big day:

10) Open your gift and share with everyone what you got on the thread.
