Days

[andrewducker]

Lilian arrived back yesterday, collapsed for a bit and then made a remarkably nice dinner (with assistance from me) - having missed Christmas Dinner (food at tisme's was nice, but it wasn't _Christmas_), she decided that what we needed was Chicken, two sorts of stuffing, sprouts, green beans, roast potatoes, turnip+carrots and lashings of gravy. One of the nicest roasts I've ever had. Mmmmmmm.

(Leftovers are still sitting in the fridge and I'm trying very hard not to eat them all before tonight).

Today was mostly spent throwing out 8 bin bags of clothes. We went through every drawer, shelf and bit of hanging space finding clothes that were never, ever going to be worn again, offered the first pick to her cleaner and the rest are now ready to head off to Oxfam...

And now we're off into town to buy me some trousers that fit.

Oh, the joys of Christmas sales, where did I put my machete?

Congratulations! I'll be doing something similar in about two weeks time, so I'm greatly heartened by your proving it to be possible!

Mmm Lilian's chicken mmm. Glad to hear she's back.

Doesn't it feel great to throw out loads of stuff? It's also great when you get to the stage where everyone at the charity shop knows you and falls on your bags with glee.

Hah, he didn't say that I made *chestnut and mushroom* stuffing, and *apple, pork and parsley stuffing*, having never made either in my life AND I also made bread sauce which ditto (and which he didn't like but I loved.) So there. We ran out of room for xmas pud and brandy butter unfortunately..

And yes throwing out those 8 bags of crap is the thing that's given me most pleasure this year I think.

Think I'll be doing the same quite soon. I swear there's stuff that just sits there for years.

I'm just amused that you chose this icon when throwing out 8 bin bags.... ;)
