...would be a money saving way to do it, otherwise it's two roasts in a week.
or is Sunday not Sunday without a roast?

We're having a gammon joint on Sunday. For me, that's the sort of "cross-over" joint. Doesn't quite feel like a roast but OH can still have the trimmings that he's used to with his Sunday dinner. Christmas dinner will be lamb for us this year.0

I'll do a pie on sunday - we tend to alternative sunday roast with a good hm pie anyway so it'll still feel like sunday!
Sun - steak and sliton pie
Mon - Roast gammon (must have for us on Christmas Eve)
Tu - Turkey!
Rest of the week is unplanned as we'll be out, seeing family and grazing on leftovers!People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

Pies are an excellent idea

I haven't had a pie for ages, made a note to myself to get that on the menu after Christmas.
We only have a roast about once every 4 or 5 Sundays these days. I think the reason is that I had to have roast beef every Sunday as a child, as my dad wouldn't have anything else, I've kind of rebelled against the traditional roast!
Thinking about it, I'm not sure how my parents afforded roast beef every week, but we did get at least three meals out of it, so my mum was definately old style!Early retired - 18th December 2014

The Sunday before Christmas....
If I'm organised (unlikely) my lot will get a casserole. If I'm disorganised (likely) they'll have hot dogs and they can like it or lump it. After all they have the best meal of the year to look forward to on Tuesday. I'm not a slave, I'm a parent and wife and will do the best that I can amid the chaos of Christmas. As long as they're fed well that's all that matters to me.
As an aside my daughter insists on turkey every Christmas...I would love a change, but it's a standing joke that she says she won't come home if I don't make a traditional Christmas dinner, I never roast a chicken in December so that we all enjoy the turkey on Christmas day.

Hi there - just wondering how you do salmon en croute using tinned salmon? I love salmon en croute but it is so expensive to buy ready made. Thanks0 -

I don't religiously roast on a Sunday, it all depends on who's here, what's in the fridge and the time I have available.
This Sunday it's likely to be a home made soup and a fresh loaf or a pasta bake as both DD's are out for the majority of the day.
Christmas eve will be cheese fondue with various dunky things. Christmas day will be turkey, beef and gammon and all the trimmings, boxing day will be cold meats, pickles and mash and the rest of the week will be left overs in various guises. I love this time of year for the throw together of meals."Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W. C. Field.0 -
We rarely have a roast on Sundays. There are only two of us now .If we do have a joint it will be gammon or chicken as it's easier to use up the leftovers.0
