This is 'plan B'

My Christmas plans have had to be changed because of the freezing weather. I will absolutely NOT drive if there is any chance of snow or ice so the plans that I had made to take Eden home on Christmas morning and stay for Christmas dinner have been shelved.
Eden was quite upset when I said that she would have to go back home with Sarah tomorrow or maybe the train on Thursday because she didn't want me to be on my own on Christmas Day and neither did she want to miss Christmas with her sister and brother and of course, Sarah. I did tell her she could stay with me on Christmas Day because I had a turkey breast joint in the freezer and would have a few other treats too so she wouldn't miss out on anything that we would normally enjoy at Christmas. She spoke to her Mum and eventually came to a decision that she would stay with me Christmas Day and Sarah would come over with her boyfriend to collect her on Boxing Day (he's used to driving in very bad conditions so it's not a problem for him).
Well, with the decision made I told her I would put 'plan B' into action because you always have to have a 'plan B'. So today we went shopping and bought some crackers to put on the Christmas dinner table and as I hadn't made puddings or cake this year I was tempted to buy a slab of iced fruit cake with marzipan in Marks and Spencer, that is until we saw they had a small decorated Christmas cake at half price which was only £1 more than the slab. With the crackers, cake and a box of clementines we are all set. I've already got a small pudding, nuts, fruit, sweets and all the other treats so tomorrow we'll be off to the farmers' market (hopefully) for the fresh vegetables and a couple of other bits and pieces.
We're both looking forward to having a really great Christmas together.
