Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?
Yes my feet were up for a short while @Former-Member Still didn't manage to eat lunch.
The neighbour has been using heavy loud machinery (maybe compressor etc) for hours.
Now I need to go off to get my hair cut.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?
Oh @Adge, you do need to eat. Can I gently encourage you to have both main course and dessert this evening?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?
Yes @Former-Member Since I felt yukky, & couldn't eat a decent lunch (sunburnt from yesterday).
I bought myself some "food incentives" whilst out at the hairdresser.
So I'm having curried rice & prawns, for late afternoon tea (or early dinner).
I get nauseous & lose my apetite a lot, especially in the hotter weather.
I got a no.4 with the clippers (haircut) - I'm a creature of habit.
They had a decorated Christmas tree at the hairdressers - they were all wearing shirts with Reindeer pictures on them.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?
@Adge noticed Christmas stuff coming out with gusto now too - feel sorry for the staff in supermarkets that have carols playing for weeks.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?
Yes @Former-Member That would put me off christmas carols permanently.
The marketing hype over Christmas (for months) puts me off too - but I eventually recover.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?
@Adge, @Former-Member, I spent a few years working in a department store, and yes, the carols track that got played on loop did get pretty maddening. It hasn't put me off carols in general, but there's particular recordings of some popular ones that take me right back there and I don't wanna go! 😛 Poor Bing Crosby didn't deserve to be so misused....
Hey, I got a first prize of my Christmas pud and a "Highly Commended" for my Christmas cake at today's town show, so that's one part of my preparations done and dusted. 🙂
(Highly Commended = fourth prize but it's the judges way of saying that there were lots of good entries and it was hard to pick just three...)

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?
Excellent @Smc First prize for your Christmas pudding.
That must have been a really good one (impressive).
Yes, poor Bing Crosby - he had a lovely voice (I like him).
But his songs were so over-played.
Many of my clients get highly agitated & over-excited, leading up to Christmas.
One thing that some get obsessive about is Christmas carols.
It's always a period (many weeks) of escalated challenging behaviours...
