    And here's another HFW recipe I want to try - sausage & puy lentil hotpot with prunes

    I made this hotpot for dinner this evening - it's very, very tasty!

    Better late than never, the Christmas chutney (apple, cranberry, date, onion & clementine with Christmas spices) is bubbling away on the hob :)

    Good morning

    I've just done a CP survey - I now have enough points for 2 X £10 vouchers :T

    Plans for the weekend:

    - Trip home to visit my dad and my hairdresser today. I'll pop into Waitrose whilst I'm there as well.
    - A proper deep clean - too much swishing & swiping only recently :o
    - Label jars for hampers and make some more fabric toppers. Buy ribbon.
    - Plan for next weekend's "meet the neighbours" party :)
    - Phone my brother and arrange a trip to the IOW between Christmas and New Year :D

    My dad wasn't joking when he said he was decluttering... I've come home with:

    - my wedding dress
    - my wedding bouquet
    - my mum's mother of the bride outfit
    - my dad's father of the bride tartan waistcoat (in Mr MWC's family tartan - made to coordinate with Mr MWC's kilt)
    - my teddy bear
    - my mum's teddy bear
    - a tea service that my dad bought in Singapore in the early 1960s for my paternal grandparents
    - various serving dishes that were my maternal grandmother's
    - a liquidiser
    - a stainless steel insulated cafetiere

    He hasn't started on the loft yet...
