    I made scrambled eggs with smoked salmon added on toast last year for breakfast, I thought it tasted weird and gave it to the cats :rotfl:

    Tia, I think that's not really that bad for 4 people! Your meal doesn't seem that elaborate - I know of people that would spend that much alone on their organic, free-range, special-fed-and-played-Mozart-in-its-heated-shed-at-night local turkey. :p

    weezl, can Shirl have a cheese board? ;)

    Yeah but those Turkeys bust out a do-ra-me-fa-so-la-teaaaaaaaaaaatime at the dinner table.

    I bet they don't even taste much different from a frozen Turkey.

    Cheeseboard! Best one is the one that has wesleydale with cranberries. I was gutted when i couldn't get it anymore though I think morrisons sometimes do it.

    Do people here eat mince pies? I abhor them, urgh it's like something dirty in my mouth. I bet I could lose weight on the "I'm only allowed to eat mince pies diet"

    Did we talk about the X factor punch? I normally don't waste my time watching that trollop, but :rotfl: at the two chicks arguing, and smacking her mate in the kisser.

    *wipes tears*

    Yes I'm childish.

    Are all men thoughtless?

    I made scouse for tea at Hubby's request, he's moaned all day that he's not felt right but still made all the appreciative noises about tea... I feed the children at 5 and had a handfull of grapes because I'm starving but waiting until he gets back to eat together...

    He walks in and tells me he doesn't want anything to eat and sods off upstairs...

    Well thanks for telling me hours ago so I could have eaten with the children...

    And me saying that is apparently accusing him of being the worst person in the world...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
