Purge a few emails
Enter a few comps
All meals from cupboards/fridge/freezer

Have a great afternoon and evening.

Afternoon all
Busy day yesterday with lots of visitors
Lovely, but exhausting with GS on one arm!
Everyone has now gone home, so we are relaxing today - in fact I might go and lie down for an hour while OH watches yet another boring old film. I have been staving off a migraine (luckily!) for a couple of days and may have a cold coming. And I am having GS tomorrow overnight so I need to make a quick recovery :eek:
I have managed a few things, mainly food related:
Made the basis of a 'Christmas Dinner Pie' with leftover meat, gravy, stuffing and veg, which I will cover with pastry and bake later. We will have this for dinner with leftover swede and carrot mash, braised red cabbage and cranberry sauce. Easy, second almost-Christmas dinner
Gave my brother and DD some cold meat, and other bits and pieces to take away with them, as fewer guests materialised than I thought. They had contributed the meat anyway, DD had brought over a turkey breast over for me to cook alongside the large pork joint that my brother had bought. It was nice to have a choice, though in practice everyone had some of each :rotfl:

I need to freeze any meat still left over by this evening, as OH is away tomorrow and Saturday, and I don't want to leave it in the fridge for too long.
Also have beds to strip off and stuff to put away, but I am going to have a rest first!

Hey everyone,

Sounds like you had some nice days yesterday. OH and I got home mid afternoon today and we've unpacked and put away all the gifts. A few strange ones in the mix that may be regifted but mostly nice.

Neither of us slept well on Christmas eve and despite a better sleep last night, I'll be glad of an early night! Hot dang I'm exciting these days!

"See" you all tomorrow!

Some washing to do
Ironing
Buy cream to make dauphinois potatoes to go with some of the leftover gammon
Get chicken to make curry on Sunday
Freeze the red cabbage

Sure there are lots of other things but can't think of them right now.

Morning folks!

I'd thought that I'd have a productive morning but had an hour and a half gab to one of my best friends instead

Still waiting for OH to surface as he needs to take me to the post office to pick up something that was delivered on the 24th just after we'd left the house!

I'm just planning on doing gentle things today I think.

:heartpuls B/L/D from stores - done
:heartpuls Bit of freezer diving/tetris to get turkey etc in there - done
:heartpuls Check PMP - done
:heartpuls Reconcile budget sheet as would normally do this yesterday - done
:heartpuls Wrap Christmas presents ahahaha (we go to my mum's next week)
:heartpuls Try not to get anxious about visit to mum's (she is hard work... there is already discussion and guilt trip over length of visit and the fact that my nan wants to see me. Mum doesn't get on with nan and begrudges sharing me anyone for even a couple of hours :cool:) - ongoing.
:heartpuls Some crochet for me. Going to continue with my attic24 winter wreath.
:heartpuls Ring farm shop as have been charged £18.85 instead of £10.85 - done. Need to pop in for a refund. If it was a pound I might not have bothered as it's a drive up there but for £8 I will!! Got this now

Will add more if there's anything

Must also share a highly amusing moment courtesy of my 17 year old nephew. He said that I am spectacular because I have a m'lot.

We all looked confused. He said... no... no.. the word will come to me... a CAMELOT!

We insisted that Camelot was a: King Arthur's castle. b: A theme park he went to as a small child. He insisted it was a real thing.

Turns out he meant ALLOTMENT :rotfl:

I am now looking for a Camelot sign for the allotment shed

Morning all

Yesterday was lovely and relaxing. Mainly building and playing with Lego whilst listen to seasonal music.

Early evening we picked up my parents for our traditional boxing day visit to the pantomime.

We took drinks and snacks with us, so spends were avoided. Dd asked for an ice cream, which we often get when at the theatre, OH said no as we have HM ice cream at home (which is delicious) & explained that it costs less to make a litre of HM than one of the little tubs, she happily accepted this. Dd, ds & OH all had ice cream in a cone when we got home.

Today I have no plans to go anywhere or see anyone, this sounds like a sad thing but it is through choice, not a necessity and I'm looking forward to it.

Plans:
:santa2: Light stove
:santa2: Put kettles on top of the stove for free hot water
:santa2: Tidy kitchen, lots has been abandoned on the table
:santa2: Empty EVERYTHING from the fridges, so we can ensure nothing goes to waste or gets forgotten
:santa2: Clean fridges
:santa2: Repack fridges more logically now the turkey isn't dominating the space
:santa2: Pmp etc
:santa2: Check bank accounts

The majority of the time we plan to spend relaxing, reading our new books, playing our new games, we received 4 so lots of variety and possibly watching a film.

I was intrigued by CLF saying

"my attic24 winter wreath"

For a moment I had visions on CLF having 24 attics, who knows how big a house that would be. Then I decided to google it and discovered it is the name of the pattern writers website. The images I've seen look superb. I wish I was talented enough to tackle something like that.
