Oooh ill have to have a look when I next go to Aldi! Have you had the Baileys choco leibniz? Their another level 😍
Those sound right up my street. Do you take milk in your coffee? I used to have the Tassimo machine and found buying the Americano pods and a seperate milk frother works really well and works out cheaper than buying the latte/cappuccino pods that come with the milk pods.

I have a Lidl about a mile away and Aldi about two miles away, but I'm definitely an Aldi girl. I very rarely go to Lidl. But then, my neighbour is the opposite. She doesn't rate Aldi at all and much prefers Lidl. Whatever you're used too I suppose.

Also, the very hot Polish guy with the great ass in my local Aldi is a good reason to prefer it over Lidl :p

Well December has arrived, and the countdown begins.

Have done nearly all of my present and card buying; as well as stocking up on food and drinks. I'm a bit anal when it comes to getting things done and dusted early for things like Christmas and New Year.

Usually I'd be celebrating it with my family in South Africa, but this year will be the first time since graduating 5 years ago I'll be spending CE, CD and NYD here in the UK.

It will be really odd because on CD in Johannesburg my family and I usually have our CD dinner on the patio of the back garden, with music playing along with a BBQ, sun loungers and a paddling pool😆

Seems that this year it will just be my g/f and I huddled in front of the living room fire opening prezzies and generally trying to keep warm, especially if it snows o_O

Christmas is different for me this year! I've got a son 😱

Before last year, I worked the 3 Christmas' before that so I werent too bothered about Christmas. Last Christmas I was pregnant so it was a strange feeling knowing I was gonna have a baby this year

I've never spent Christmas with my boyfriend before let alone a baby, so it'll be new and different. I wanted the whole day to just be the 3 of us for babys first Christmas but my fellas Mum kicked up a fuss. Shes an hole. So we're seeing them in the morning. She wanted to stay at our house LOL. I put my foot down at that one. I said no, if we're seeing you, we're seeing my family too. So his family are in the morning mine are in the evening

The only presents I've started are the babys. I haven't even thought about any of my families 😱 i haven't got my fellas yet either. Uh oh

At least you can get the visit to her out of the way early and enjoy the rest of the day with your own family.

I have no idea what we're doing this year, but I've told my husband that I'm NOT going to his mother's for the day. His spoilt sister will be there as well, looking for attention from everyone and turning on the tears if she doesn't get it fast enough.

She's 46 .....

White wine drinkers, can you recommend a nice white to me please? Budget around £10-£15.

I need to get a bottle for a friend of mine for Christmas and she only drinks white. Problem is I only drink red, so don't have a clue what to go for. I know Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc are probably the most popular, but don't know if there's an preferred brand?

She's quite easy going so I'm sure she'll be happy enough anyway, but would love to hear any recommendations that anyone might have :)
Bit late, but Aldi have a new white wine it’s a Sancerre, £11.99
Really really nice.

She's a nightmare. She's kicked off before on Xmas day because her little nieces and nephews were 'getting too much attention' :rolleyes:

She behaves like a spoilt child, and when she has a few drinks in her she can turn nasty.

Oh my god sounds so similar!
at our engagement party she kicked off because people were congratulating us and no one wanted to “hear” about her new job...
(She was a cleaner at the time, diamond rings and wedding plans are much more exciting than dirty bogs)
Kicked off because she wanted to be a bridesmaid which was fine I was going to ask her, but then didn’t show up to dress tryings on and had zero interest. Complained about each dress I had chosen.
My hen do - the same ole story told me I wasn’t good enough for her brother
Surprisingly tame at the wedding but did have a dig because my husband made a comment about her being the oldest bridesmaid.

she had a 40th birthday party when we came out of the first lockdown just family and a couple of her friends. She went crazy at me and her boyfriend for having a private chat - he was proposing a couple of days later and he asked for advice 😂😂😂😂

Send Abi a message ;)

Haha no seriously. This is really nice, https://www.majestic.co.uk/wines/the-ned-pinot-grigio-37169

Can't go wrong with a nice Gavi either, which you can get most places. M&S Gavi is lovely.
Not sure if she likes Rosé but this is delicious too https://www.majestic.co.uk/wines/silver-ghost-rose-8294

Abi might have a spare bottle she could send me 😂

I'm not actually sure whether or not she drinks Rose, so I might be safer just sticking to the white.

Do you feel that people are putting a lot of pressure on themslves this year to make xmas a good one? I know a few people who are panicking about presents and whether they are doing enough.

The only decent one in my husband's family was his Dad who passed away a couple of years ago. He was a lovely man, an absolute gent.

It's just a shame that none of them took after him and they all got the selfish attention seeking personality from MIL instead :rolleyes:

I know I must sound like a right cow, but they've all been horrible to me over the years.
