Thanks for the recipe! think I might use cheshire instead!;) will give it a go in the new year!

i hope you're all having a great day - the highlight for me is that DS2(aged 15) has eaten his first ever roast dinner!:j he didn't eat the veg but for me it was great as usually he wont touch any of it! he had turkey, roasters new pots yorkshire pud and gravy!:T DS1(ages 17) wont eat it so had hash browns and bacon rolls( a late breakfast for him)

Am just having a coffee after lunch, am stuffed, washing up done etc and am off to Mums soon.
