As it's Xmas time, and we'll all be indulging in that extra piece of cake, what better time to come clean and admit our Top 3 guilty pleasures!
I'd better go first, so:
Coca Cola - Can't get enough of the stuff, I should really own shares in the company by now!
WWE - It's not really for me... my 7 year old makes me watch it.... honest!
Chinese takeaways - Fried, high calorie, MSG-filled heaven!
Spanish Cava - really dry and ice cold. My euphoric delight is a good war or horror movie alone at night (when partner in bed or out with the girls) and a whole bottle to myself.
Watching "White Christmas" each and every Christmas time (usually making others watch it with me) - honestly, it’s an institution with me, and brings back happy memories.
Lemon Meringue Pie. I`d happily eat a whole one in one go :D
1. A really decent bar of proper chocolate
2. Host & Hostess with the mostess - entertaining the family at special times of the year. Good food, good wine and merriment. Happy times.
3. Me and the wife with a picnic basket and a bottle of wine and the smack of leather on willow heard from the outfield at a village green cricket match during the great English summertime.
1. Custard creams.
2. Most confectionary but chocolate, jelly beans or candy shrimps in particular (regularly nick my sons' :d).
3. Misinterpreting what people say to me whenever possible.
[Not that I feel very guilty about any of them but they're perhaps pleasures that I ought to]
Mashed potato. Buttered and peppered. I could eat plates of it.
A really satisying bowel movement.
A nice long lie in on the weekend.

Christmas guilty pleasures:
Midnight Mass followed by a good single malt at the vicarage
Cooking for everyone [32 this year]
Champagne for breakfast, followed by Gin...move onto a couple cold ones as the kitchen gets hotter, decent wines with dinner, port, brandy...and, funnily enough, ending the day with a good single malt
Normal guilty pleasures:
A day at home alone, uninterrupted...
A great game of cricket, playing at home where the pitch sits next to the River Avill at the foot of Grabbist with a view up to the heights of Exmoor - it's sunny, I've hit some runs batting at 4, taken a couple of wickets as first-change bowler, a couple of catches in the field...doesn't get much better...
A good single malt in my favourite crystal tumbler
8)
I think I've entered a Zen-like state just thinking about that lot y'know O:-)

What you need is: Champagne for breakfast, followed by Gin...move onto a couple cold ones as the kitchen gets hotter, decent wines with dinner, port, brandy...and, funnily enough, ending the day with a good single malt :D

So that's where I've been going wrong!
I'll try that next year.
I'll take the single malt but I'd skip the rest

Sorry, the malt is a reward for putting up with the rest. :)
