firstly should i go, afraid that my legs will give out as i'm none too steady on my pins these days, second what do i take with me as a gift for the host/hostess - bubbly but that's rather expensive, what else could you recommend.

emmie I'd be thinking about the getting home bit....round here taxis on Christmas night are like hen's teeth. If you lived here you'd need to pre book and that ties you to staying till the taxi comes. I am not saying do go or don't go but its going to take a little thought...Whatever you decide, have a lovely day.

being in the capital has its advantages, i don't live all that far probably twenty minutes walk from their place but if its cold/snowy which it could be then taxi if would have to be.

do go Emmie..I am sure your friends are aware of your limitations and will understand if you leave earlyish..if they are collecting you then in all probability the lift home will be offered too..if worried phone them and say you are concerned about getting home..let them pick up the thread...

have ordered some wine for the day and some tinned shortbread biscuits, hopefully that will be a thank you for having me gesture.

That's it emmie...the majority say "go". It's lovely that you have friends who are thinking of you.

Thank you for BA...I'm now at 100! Lol

emmie if you do not already have one buy yourself a folding 4 wheeled walker with seat. Finest thing I ever bought for dodgy legs.

My favourite bubbles in the whole universe - Chapel Down English Sparkling Brut - is currently on offer in Sainsbury's for £18. I prefer these bubbles to any champagne I've ever drank!

Yes, yes, yes you should go Emmie.......nobody should spend Xmas day on their own. I tried once, a few years ago, and its ruddy miserable !

Get a nice bottle of Cava, or maybe Prosecco......much cheaper than Champagne. Prosecco should only a fiver, and it fun, just any other bubbly.

If you can stretch to it, buy a small bottle of brandy as well.....that way you can make bubbly cocktails for everybody :::

Put a sugar cube in the bottom of a tall glass....pour on a bit of brandy and then top up with Prosecco or Cava !
