At least it's something can be fixed, Mrs T!

Been and got a lovely little turkey, it's crammed into me fridge which is now FULL

Also been to farm shop for the veg, sure beats the supermarket!!


Someone's excited! I've a feeling I wouldnt care to know whose lyrics those are

Going to make the mince pies later, woooo hoooooooooooooooooo it's nearly Crimbo!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone is Don't worry it isn't Pilchard I promise. It's a female singer that we all know I am totally adore

My Mum made some yesterday to try someone's reciepe but will make her own ones & sausage rolls on Christmas Eve

Errr yes, that's exactly who I suspected it was

You can't beat home made sausage rolls.....my mum's were EPIC, but I can't make pastry like she did

Lol

Indeed you can't, my Mum's are awesome. Awwww

I spent hours as a child watching her make pastry, never weighed anything and could whip up a batch in minutes. I always hoped to be given the leftover scraps to make sugar pastry with....mix in sugar, roll out into shapes, bake and scoff!

Awww Twass that's lovely

My Mum is currently preparing tomorrow night's dinner Chilli

Can't beat a nice festive chilli

I shall practice my roast dinner skills later doing a mini one for myself with a pork chop

some random link to a good song long forgotten about

Indeed plus it'll be even better as Mum's had time to do it the day before rather than in the morning. Mmmmmm!

Oh fun times. I think I'm probably having toad in hole & some pasta for my tea haha. I think it's going to be a very meat filled week somehow Sausages today, lamb mince (I think) tomorrow, probably chicken on Christmas Eve (from a takeaway), Turkey, bacon and sausages on Christmas Day, don't know about Boxing Day & then god knows what on Friday

We are having fish on CHristmas Eve, turkey on the day [with pigs in blankets etc] and leftovers on Boxing Day and probably for days thereafter as well

bestest chrimbo dinner ever was the year when we had burger and chips the kids were about 9 and 3 they didn't wanna stop playing with there toys so we just binned the turkey and had a snack

shhh don`t tell but I hate turkey!

Lots of peeps aren't keen, but cooked upside down in its own juice it transforms into succulent meat. Right way up it can be dry Tis true, kids everywhere would rather have burger and chips and the parents attention!

One year I tried a Nigella recipe involving marinating the bird in a bucket of all manner of shizz - it went BLACK in the oven but boy, it tasted fabulous!

Adults ruin chrimbo for kids FACT:

let them play an pig out on sweets mop up their puke that night and tell them they did good...

Before I took ill, I used to compile a festive themed quiz for my family for after Christmas lunch.

It has taken a break for the past couple of years.

I've just spent the last hour compiling one for this year, and boy, if feels good

I remember the year we gave them Twister. Whole family ended up playing it in our pjs for hours meaning I forgot to put the turkey in so dinner was very late This did not go down well with the Grandparents who expected it on the table at 1pm

excellent ....
can we has a posting after chrimbo ? see how we doo ?

I love quizzes and parlour games at Chrimbo! My niece always did the quiz from when she was about 8 years old. Then we'd play hunt the thimble and do charades, which where most of the adults were nissed was quite humorous

mine parents and wifes knew they were irrelevant at chrimbo and if they turned up they waited till the kids were ready..

Can do!

A chunk of it is audio, so I may to upload a You Tube video, but what the hell


Part of Christmas is the games. Can't just sit and watch TV all day.

I mean, Blackadder on the night time is fine, but apart from that

Ooh brill idea, I'd love to have a go! No googling

Ex Mr Twass Dad was the worst, he practically had a meltdown if not fed exactly at the same time each day My mum was fine, give her plenty of sherry and mince pies and she was no bother

Layters peeps stuff to do

loveyousbye

xxx

I should also be doing tings but there's Wallace n Gromit on the tellybox!!!

I'm trying not to just slump in front of Christmas TV. Stuff to do.

Got a show to plan for tomorrow. Well, I say plan. Most of it is already done

Oh awesome


Wow Fun!


Nah I disagree, when I was a child we had SOOOOOO much fun at Christmas including dinner. All I remember about those are opening presents & one of the dinners lol. Then I remember the last 13 (soon to be 14) Christmases in this houe. Except 2011 as I wasn't there. I'll never be able to forget that I missed it. Still wish I could turn back time for that one event. Hey ho.


Yay awesome
