Xmas/New Year 2010

[JMD40]

The reduction in the price at Trio proves how bad the recession has hit us here. The last couple of years Trio has been 100euros approx. There are some reasonable prices for good food out there this year. Casinet also have very reasonable prices for both xmas and new year. Last night I had a drink in LULUS in Pollensa and she will be open for Xmas Day lunch for anyone interested in typical British fayre at sensible price with a nice cosy atmostphere. I think she will probably be open New Year eve also.

Just received finalised Christmas and New Year menu from Stay.

Its just SO tempting to just pack the boots and jumpers - the one with a bit of sparkle on it obviously - and say to the rest of the family, "The turkey's in the freezer - see you at the end of January!"

Received an email from Stay with the Christmas and New Year menu this morning, and read it out to M as we sat in bed with a cup of tea!

He said 'Lets just fly out for a couple of days and have dinner at Stay'!


Seriously thinking about it now....if I can get the shopping finished, get the presents wrapped, decorate the tree, buy all the food, get the house ready for 16 on The Day.... and have the obligatory nervous breakdown

Stop Whinging Woman !!!!

You obviously haven't read today's Torygraph which details a report that claims men do far more housework than women give them credit for . It claims that women do not notice because men don't like to " make a fuss ".

Xmas is pretty stressful for us guys as well . How much booze shall we get in, what can we buy at 5.30 p.m. Christmas Eve for the missus , can we manage to stay awake & watch the cricket all night , will we have to clear up the reindeer s**t off the lawn Xmas morning .........

I could go on

Merry Crimble, everyone

Thanks for your continued good work Sparky, its great to see so many places open over Christmas, it really is becoming a year round resort, I have always wanted to get away over Christmas and the new year, may have to seriously consider it for next year

[Sparky]

I am trying to help all the businesses SWS. So many people seem to think that PP closes down for the winter and it is just not true, yes of course many places don't stay open and unfortuneately some have closed permanently but it is not all gloom and doom.
Oh and i forgot to say that the Christmas Lights are on, ok it's not Blackpool Illuminations but at least we have some.

[sws97sdg]

Sounds nice Sparky, any chance of a picture, when you are better

[Sparky]

Will do, probably at the weekend SWS .
