In the last 48 hours, I have:

* Got through all the kids' homework.
* Got through swimming lessons without forgetting to pack kids' pants (underwear) this time.
* Got through grocery shopping with kids in busiest Tescos in the country.
* Laundry.
* Drove to Oxfordshire for Thanksgiving party.
* Repeated same story about my health 100 times to people I'd not seen since last Thanksgiving party.
* Didn't have one alcoholic beverage. Did have several fattening desserts.
* Left boy at party for sleepover.
* Drove back to Berkshire through hurricane-strength winds and flooded A-roads.
* Hung up laundry.
* Watched Pink Panther cartoons in bed with girl till late.
* Put up with girl turning sideways in bed for a whole 3 hours. Then got up and slept in her bed. (Some of you on my flist will know what I'm talking about.)
* Woke up late - ahhhh (8am).
* Heated up water (boiler still broken). Washed self and girl (told boy to have shower at friends' house).
* Made THE BEST refrigerator cake (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, glace cherries, dried blueberries, golden syrup, Digestives, Maltesers), because I didn't eat enough sweets last night. (Actually, they're for my office.)
* Watched last night's Strictly Come Dancing. Ah, Pasha...tango...mmmm...
* Made lentil soup.
* More laundry.
* Made boy lunch for when he got back.
* Took boy and his lunch over to another friend's house (my son is in great demand).
* Made beds.
* Did dishes.
* Put up Christmas tree (no small task).
* Dug out menorahs, then realised I have no candles. Will get some in London.
* Tidied up loft.
* Hoovered.
* Painted by numbers with daughter.
* Looked up Strictly spoiler. Agreed with result.
* Now about to do the ironing and watch Wall-E.
* Will write something later so [livejournal.com profile] sati_lotus won't yell at me tomorrow.
* At some point, I must retrieve my son. Please don't let me forget.



But more important than any of that, and this is mainly for the Europeans on my flist, because we don't have the selection that the NA/Asian/Antipodean places do (bah, humbug): I don't usually like flavoured coffees. But once a year around this time I have one. Last year, I had an egg-nog latte from Starbucks. It was nice, but I think my teeth melted after drinking it.

From where and what flavour do you recommend for this year?

I did, but it would have been made better with you to supervise the artses. Cause I suck :)
