    I get that with the countdown thread on phone for some reason. I can’t see the latest post even thought it tell me one is there. I have to go into the full site to see it!

    Only that thread for some reason.

    Not directly Christmas related but thought it interesting that chocolate topped the items changed most and quality street tubs topped them all.

    I posted a few months ago about the problem with this thread on mobile. Anyone else not seeing a new page until there are three posts on it? So the thread shows up as having new posts on "my forums" but I can't see the posts unless there are at least two more :(

    Happens to me on all forums on the site, the damn glitch

    Only ever happens to me on this thread. I find switching from touch site to full site and back on the phone fixes it.

    My default setting is 40 posts per page, so at least that stops it happening too much.

    Hi All. Hope everyone has a very Happy Easter Weekend.

    Going to cook a ham and have stuffing, roasters and plenty of mash tomorrow, anyone else having a mini Christmas dinner planned for tomorrow?

    ps. Wish I had a few crackers for pulling at the table :)

    My family always does that, turkey and ham and everything except sprouts. Alas they're at the other end of the country so it will just be my parents and one sister and her family. My parents look after the kids so they're already in a bubble. Haven't seen them since Christmas and God only knows when we'll be allowed to travel again.

    We've a full homemade Christmas pudding here that we didn't eat at Christmas so we're having that tomorrow along with a turkey and ham dinner.
    AND we're over a quarter of the way there, folks :-)

    Full chicken in the oven, going to put some veg and roasters on soon. Eating out the back under the parasall :)

    Last of the Christmas selection boxes are going out of date so going to do a pre Easter egg hunt for the kids so they can run around while we have a nice glass of white!

    Hope all having a nice Easter so far.

    I wanted lamb for dinner on Sunday as well. But Dunnes were completely cleared out of lamb by Thursday.

    So it’ll be rib-eye steak for dinner instead.

    I have a box of crackers if you're within 5kms of me. :pac:

    Tesco had Easter crackers in stock this year, I'd never seen them for sale there any other year.

    We went to an Easter themed brunch yesterday and it was lovely. There was stuff for the kids, and person dressed up as the Easter bunny, goodie bag and the food was great. I had the lamb, it might be my favorite meat.

    The place was so nice that we decided we would do a Christmas brunch there if we end up stuck here this year.

    Sounds lovely Jude:D Things are less rosy here unfortunately. Its a struggle to get a Big Mac here with the queue for the drive in, and that's if you are within 5 kilometres of the McD:)

    Looks like another smashing day out there is on the cards, its like the weather is making it up to us for all the restrictions we've endured. So have a happy Easter everyone... looking forward to my roast lamb, mint sauce, roast potatoes and roast veg dinner too!

    I know, I do feel bad after typing that. I have no idea how the vaccine roll out is going so slow at home. Everyone I know is vaccinated or like me awaiting my second jab.

    May favorite chipper at home would be within 5km but not sure its even open.

    All my pals at home are sending pictures of the lovely weather. They always stick the boot in when its near 50 here and we are stuck indoors for months.

    I wasn't trying to make you feel bad Jude and there is no reason for you to. Im delighted to see that there is light for you and for us all at the end of the tunnel:D
    Im just jealous really:):)

    It’s snowing here too. While also being Sunny.

    And only yesterday I was sitting out the back in the sun drinking cider. Ireland is mad y’all.

    Just looked it up there, "Recipe for a Perfect Christmas" sounds very hallmark, was it any good?
