A Nostalgic Christmas Party With the 8 Days of Christmas Liqueurs.  There will be one ghost story with which you can partake of one liqueur of your choice.  You could build it into the end of your dinner and have with de caff coffee and a liqueur chocolate. The Nostalgic Christmas Party is 8 days off from the slimming calendar to enjoy Christmas festivities. Then there will be Sindy not so dry January detox, where you makeup up for Christmas indulgencies in a pyramid scheme.  Depending on how much you have indulged you may not have to stop drinking at all, but still balance out your indulgences.  So it will stop me getting boring and I can still do weekend parties. The Nerd researched dry January and it doesn't exist it is a psyop or something? Not so dry January might help you to drink responsibly knowing you will be detoxing any alcohol you have over the moderate drinking guidelines. I'm doing it anyway now for this reason rather than getting drunk then drink...

 November Fancy Dress Party You can go as whatever you want.   I have put a few ideas for you as inspiration.   It is a 20's style fancy dress party where you choose your own costume. November 30th and December 1st Saturday Food 60'S CHICKEN AND CHIPS You can serve it in a basket. (if you are slimming, we oven roast a chicken in olive oil and serve with low fat oven chips). If you aren't dieting you could get Kentucky fried chicken or do rotiserie chicken coated in sugar and fries. There are a lot of costumes ideas loaded into pinterest fashion calendar or you might be inspired by some of the films. Saturday Night Cowboys and Indians This is my favourite Carry on film https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/214132157275587780/ It was my favourite Carry on film when I was little and still is. I love how the women of the Wild West stood up to men. They were the original empowered feminist maybe. Realise this film shaped my life and came in subliminly when I was up against im...

 Halloween Fortnight/Alternative Halloween escapism If your idea of a Witch is Samantha out of Bewitched your actually close to what witches actually were.  The nerd discovered this once. Real Halloween Are you fed up with Witches being caricatured like Endora used to moan about. The Young Endora getting her own back at idiots mocking witches. But you confess to being a Horror film fan. Now I've discovered Countess Dracula, Weekend TV will be offering a fortnight of alternative entertainment, worth a browse if you like the American style Halloween also as there could be something of interest. We had an American friend who told us she hated American Halloween as a child as it was really weird.  They had those weird tractors, think it had to do with this organisation that was trying to block out the truth by making it weird. As far as I know, it is when the spirits of loved ones walk the earth again. This is actually quite beautiful and comforting to know they are all right...

A September Island Holiday I got this idea from Japanology. Then thought of Island Holidays around the world. I find this subject a challenge as someone like me isn't supposed to dream of holidaying beyond designated holiday destinations within my class or status. I moved from working class to middle class and not sure what I am now. Have studied this one as for instance Japan is classed as an Island which I didn't know. Britain is an Island but I did that with British June. Ireland is an Island independent of Britain. Decided to feature this instead. Another place I'd like to visit.  A tarot friend of yore recommended Dublin and The Crowley deck ~ she was right about the Tarot deck. Also, we love Irish coffee ~ you can also make calypso coffee. Saturday food Japanese or Hawaiin Japanese  I would recommend Wagamma, which is a Japanese restaurant or Hawaiin https://uk.pinterest.com/saphireblack/a-september-island-holiday/saturday-hawaiin/ If you are struggling to get food yo...

 A SUMMER HOLIDAY PARTY ABROAD This idea is something just about everyone wants I would guess.  The dream destinations will obviously vary, but it is one of the reasons we work hard so we can travel to sunnier climes than Britain and have well-earned rest and luxury. Saturday Food The idea is either: 70's buffet party, which could include Swedish food.    Not sure if Ikea is back fully yet, but when it is there are loads of party ideas available.  I actually once impressed a snobby foody by making  hors d'œuvre  from Ikea products, shocked myself but it did.  Suppose I did get Home Economics at school.  Until Ikea is back you can just get whatever there is at the supermarket. Then serve with a 70's alcohol like Mateus or Cinzano or of course Swedish vodka.  Found two beers at Ikea so maybe it will be back soon.  We used to buy a lot of their alcohol. pinterest.com/saphireblack/homemaker-tips/an-august-summer-holiday-abroad-party/ or...
