We've got unwanted guests for Christmas, mice. We've caught 7! so far. I'm hoping it is just one family. No signs anywhere except the bathroom and thats where we've caught them. I don't want to create a whole disturbance pulling stuff out looking for them so I just let the traps do their work, hopefully all caught but I said that yesterday.

Ruddy little perishes :mad: I hope the traps soon have them cleared xx

I did our sprouts last night but that's only because other people wanted some so I did a bulk lot. One more thing off my list for tomorrow :T

Once the meat man has been we will go and fetch up the parsnips and carrots. I've got one parsnip growing in a 3ft length of drainpipe which I planted specifically with Christmas dinner in mind. I cant wait to see what it comes out like :j

I never thought of doing that, maybe get Mr AJ to give it a try for nex year . I love parsnips

Picture of your effort would be lovely if I’m not too late xx

JUST REMEMBER MUMMYS AND DADDYS ������
Christmas Dinner....
I have concluded that the inevitable stress of Christmas dinner is created by adverts and supermarkets....
It's a Sunday dinner for !!!!s sake. We do it quite happily 51 weeks of the year but can we the consumers be trusted to manage by ourselves on one day of the year, apparently not! ...
Here goes...
1. Turkey... It's a big !!!!!!! chicken that's all, 20 minutes per lb plus 20 minutes at 180 degrees - jobs a good un! Get yourselves a meat thermometer £3 off the Internet poke it in the offending bird if it says 75 degrees or over its cooked!
2. Stuffing - regardless of what Jamie Oliver says you do NOT need 2lbs of shoulder of pork, onions breadcrumbs,pine nuts and a !!!! load of fresh herbs to make stuffing.... What you need is Paxo and a kettle!! If you wanna liven it up squeeze 3 sausages out of their skins and mix that in with your Paxo before cooking ��.
3. Gravy - Jamie Oliver is copping for this one aswell....
Bisto Jamie.... All you need is Bisto!
4. Vegetables. Never mind faffing round shredding sprouts and frying them with bacon and chestnuts to make them more palatable, If you don't like them don't buy and cook the !!!!!!! things. If your family only eats frozen peas then that's good enough!
5. Roast potatoes. Yes I part boil mine then roast them in goose fat or whatever you want to use, but Aunt Bessie also does the same ��.
6. Trimmings,Christmas pudding Mincepies and the like, whatever shop you use or do what I do bake them yourself
7. Family. Children, Feed the little blighters first separately, if they only want turkey with tomato sauce fine leave em to it, it doesn't matter. Once they are fed begger them off to play with their Christmas presents so that YOU can enjoy your dinner in Peace!
Adults. Anyone that can manage to get their sorry arrse to your dinner table is also capable of helping to serve up/ sort the kids out/ clear the table /wash up /dry up etc.
And Finally.....
NO ONE, And I mean no one APART FROM THE COOK IS ALLOWED TO GET P1SSED AND FALL ASLEEP BEFORE THE WASHING UP IS DONE!!!
Rant over

Never thought I would say this, but I totally agree. It is a normal Sunday roast, that is how I treat it anyway.

For the first time in years we are having Christmas lunch alone, just the two of us, and I am really looking forward to it

I enjoy cooking the Christmas dinner but totally agree that it isn't much more than a normal roast chicken Sunday roast. I always have pigs in blankets in the freezer and always have stuffing balls too, made with sausagemeat, an egg and some chopped apricots. All you have to do is take them out of the freezer. I usually make them with whoopsied sausagemeat and do them when I am not busy. But then I've never had to cook for more than six at Christmas and I am sure it is harder when there are more of you. We don't have a starter and do Christmas pudding and the Birds brandy sauce, so super easy. (Yelp! Must check I have some -- but there is time to make brandy sauce which I can do in advance very easily.)

I am distracting myself from writing the last of my cards...

We are off tomorrow on our journey south - fingers crossed for a smooth connecting trains journey

**** I won't be able to post the QUIZ link until next Thursday, so I don't want to ask tweets as I'm always asking her, feel bad about asking in this festive period, ...
so if anyone would like to post a link I will be extremely grateful please ♥ *****

Merry Christmas Sweethearts ♥

I imagine you’ve solved the dilemma now, I would offer to do it but would probably have cocked it up , not knowing what I’m doing .

Have a fantastic time with parents Snap, try to get a little relaxing in whilst there if you can xx
