    Hi all!

    Long time no see i do dip in here and tyr and keep up with Rudolph day but just been away so missed it this month!
    So i see it's to do with fav recipes this month, I always use the Delhia Christmas pud recipe and it is tried and tested after about 10 years now if not longer! I highly recommend it! Also i found a simple recipe for Christmas cake that I have made for the last 2 years it's from the BBC food site and again it is great!
    I really love Christmas and I will be on here much more after I have 'done' DD's 11th birthday which is in 3 weeks! I already have some presents bought etc etc and will sort it out properly when the bday is over!

    Thanks Mum2one for offering to do the rudolph day stuff for July will be looking forward to it for July xxx

    just popped into my local tesco for more masking tape........ended up with tonnes of bargains! got more reduced strawbs.....just gave grumpy son the whole punnet.....he's quite happy with that. Got free range eggs for 24p a 1/2 doz, got 2 packs and dropped them in at my mum's. She will have kids a couple of days this week and they will expect pancakes!Also gave her the 2 free tubs of cream I got with strawbs !!cheese for 40p, stilton for 19p......I love bargains! makes up for spending as much at the all singing all dancing shiny new tesco on thursday!!

    Right must head back to the kitchen now I have tape!!

    After a massive favour, its totally digressing sorry, but is there any brilliant person whose brain I could rack.

    Basically I deleted a file, sent it to recycle box and emptied the box, sods law I desperately need the file back, Just wondered if there was any way.

    Thank you all in advance xx

    Valli: yes rudolph day is on the 25th of the month, a day to indulge in all your guilty christmas thoughts and plan and list what you've done and what 's to be done!

    well in that case I failed miserably this time

    unless you count THINKING about xmas :rotfl:
