I'm about to clean the fridge so I can fill it with all the Christmas food arriving tonight from tesco:)

What are you doing?

Scoffing mince pie, all in interest of food review, just to check the recipe was OK

Have been all around with the vacuum cleaner as DD comes down from London tomorrow and will notice every dust bunny.
The dining table is actually empty for once. It usually holds whatever is the current project and we just eat around it but DH birthday yesterday and Xmas Sunday so I made an effort .
I have just been out to the shed with the boxes of apples that have been living in DD's ex bedroom so she can actually open her cupboards. It does smell nice and appley in there though.

Resting quietly on the sofa, as I overdid it yesterday, going into town with my husband and visiting five establishments to get all our errands done; my health is poor at the best of times, and I'm useless at pacing myself. :cool:

In all fairness though, our main celebration was on Wednesday; we're Pagans, and celebrate the Solstice rather than Christmas; so hopefully we shall just have a quiet, peaceful weekend, just the two of us.

Just iced the Christmas cake.

Tesco shop done (was there at 6am! :eek:)

Ragu for Christmas Eve lasagne in the oven, Turkey collected from the butcher and put into its briny bath in the camping fridge and giblet stock cooling on the side.

Just finishing up on here (honest! :whistle:) then off to make the stuffing.

Made truffles, have biscuits for cheese in the oven and shortbread still to do for the present hampers. Finish jumper for nephew. Wrap things. Make brandy butter for the puds.

Remember to write out xmas pud reheat instructions and pack stuff for few days away visiting family.

A million more things I would like to do but hours in they day, feeling sick/ dizzy etcetc

Have whizzed bread into crumbs and gammon is soaking. I've probably forgotten something but the world won't end

having a brew then going to local supermarket to see if anythings reduced
don't fancy my chances really but did well last year, they don't have a regular reducing time (its booths) so usually get nowt but occasionally hit the jackpot
