Fantastic post! :T

I did it for my Mum because she is going to be feeding me, on and off, over Christmas.
And just because she is my Mum, of course:)

Afternoon all :wave:

Can't believe it's the 25 year anniversary of the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing over Lockerbie, doesn't seem like that long ago.

So sad

Been out for my Christmas haircut, also called in Lidl and Mr T; both were very quiet. Got 8 boxes of Jus-Rol puff pastry and 14 bars of chocolate & hazelnut for just over £6:).
The plan for this afternoon is to make some Tongue Tickle Apple Pickle, using the last of my windfall apples; apple turnovers and apple danish pastries, to make use of the Jus-Rol pastry and the stewed windfall apples already in the freezer (need to make some room! I'm no good at freezer tetris); and some Mince Pie Pops... if I get time:rotfl:

Shop 3 in the RTC section they had Paxo stuffing 85g boxes for 13p
These are handy for me because I am the only one who likes stuffing, I can jazz it up a bit and nothing will get wasted, like it usually does when I make stuffing

I need to kick OH into action now, we are of to see his parents this afternoon, looking forward to seeing them:beer:
