My plan for 2moro is - read Eid prayer in Mosque, come home, eat breakfast, clean up, spend 2hours getting ready, take pictures (for memories- not vanity reasons :oops: ), open the door for numerous guests, feed them Asian sweet dishes, visit mate in afternoon - spend a couple of hours round her place, start meat delivery rounds from the Qurbani, be forced to eat sticky Asian sweets at every house I visit, phone dad and wish him Eid Mubarak (he's in Dubai at the moment) and have a family meal in the evening...

I'm visiting family over the weekend - in bham and manchester, so I'll prob do all of the above again then too....aswell as present distribution. I already have my sack ready with wrapped up prezzies in it - just like Santa

Eid Mubaarak to all Muslims brothers and sisters.

I hope Allah accepts your sacrifice whatever you slaughtered for Him.

Ya Ali Madaad.

nothing any different from my normal daily routine.

I did wear a new sweatshirt to work though!

an eid to forget

my son seriously ill, had some sort of allergic reaction, whole face swollen up

spent most evening , night and half of today in hospital....

:shock: Oh dear, I pray he's much better now Ed.

My Eid started off a bit weird but alhamdulillah had a good 2 days.

Being the Eid of sacrifice and all that...I consumed and looked at SO much meat this Eid.

On Thursday, I helped divide and distribute the lamb we ordered (handled a lot of raw meat)...and then throughout the weekend when visiting family we were offered nothing but meat based dishes...Last night it got too much, a aunty of mine had roasted an ENTIRE, whole lamb in the oven (only the head was missing)....and my family of about 25 got through it all.

I'm becoming a veggy for a week,

I tried that, lasted only a few hours.

Lol. Chicken is not included...I'm looking to prepare a xmas dinner this week, with all the trimmings.

But lamb I can avoid for a few weeks.

Hold on. Weren't you worried a few days ago about how getting involved in Christmas is compromising your faith? And here you are looking to prepare Christmas dinner... at home...

Lol.

I love my roast dinner. Xmas is just an excuse to make it.

mmm roast potatoes.

i had the most boring eid you can imagine

for some reason, thats 2 years in a row - eid ul fitr is a blast

and eid ul adha turns out to be one i probably will never remember
