    NSD here.
    We had HM Steak Pie + roast potatoes + roasted veggies - beetroot, carrots, celery, mushrooms + onions & gravy for dinner.
    I used some LO HM pastry to make an apple/pear/sultana pie. I flavoured the filling with cloves. We tried the pie - yummy.

    I'm going to try for another NSD today, need cat food tomorrow though unless there are enough scraps left from todays chicken. I bought lots of chicken from the Chicken processing shop, todays small chicken only cost a pound.
    So I still have my Tenner in tact!
