Christmas!!!

When ever there has been a lot of us we cook the turkey on xmas eve then just heat up in the oven after slices, with hot plates and gravy it's fine. I also second chopping and prepping veg. If making your own yorkshires can make ahead and freeze them. Things like parsnip and swede mash can be done beforehand as well.

Rainy-Days

That was a big list that I had done on the previous page I know, but it is a guideline for what you might want.

Usually I can do a half decent shop before Christmas and use all my Nectar points to cover most of the spend and then I only need to go out to buy a loaf of bread and milk in between Christmas and New Year, which actually is pretty good going because I cannot be bothered going shopping in between at all!!

I did buy a tin of Victoria biscuits from Aldi today at £4.99 and I got the cake the other day as well. In all I just spread it out over the weeks. Last year a tin of biscuits kept us going until March time! If I remember right last year I was still skidding with the trolley in Sainsburys car park a few days before Christmas.

There's a similar thread on the Christmas & other Yuletide festivals board...
just thought it was worth drawing your attention to it, it will have more info for the OP.
