Been to my mums today and we all fancied a bit of chocolate when the footy was on.
'Do you have any chocolate mum?
'yes, but its on the Christmas shelf so you cant have that'
'oh come on, just buy some more tomorrow'
'No, its for Christmas,oh hold on then, Ive got some Quality Streets hidden under the bed, you can have some of them instead'
and she did have some Quality Streets hidden under the bed too, along with some Ritz cheese biscuits and a 24 pack of Walkers crisps
I know when Christmas is coming when my Mum starts a Christmas shelf!!
and i thought this was just my mum lol
every year from early november things started to appear on the christmas shelf and god help anyone who touched anything on the shelf before xmas eve at the earliest !
lol, you were lucky. On Christmas Eve my mum used to stand on 'pantry duty' to make sure we didnt dare try to pinch a nut or a Viscount biscuit before time. Then when we were allowed onto the shelf after Christmas she would moan that we were eating everything too quickly!
