    Must be the reverse psychology.

    I've cancelled it..........sob!!!!!!!!!!

    No, I don't need it. There are just the 2 of us and I have the 3 puddings as wells as some fruit filo parcel things in the freezer. I was watching the old Christmas Delia programme last night (can't be Christmas without Delia and her cranberries) and she made this

    I have 2/3 of a jar of cherries to use up and if I chop them up and freeze them I can make this instead.

    Nooooooooooooooooooooooo...............tell me I don't need it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've already got a 'happy' turkey coming from a farm, which is costing a kings ransom. It's just one day in the year and I'm hardly going to starve!
    What exactly is a happy turkey? Is it one that doesn't know it's dead?

    I always call them 'happy' if they are free range etc. :D Happy chicken, happy pig etc :o :rotfl:

    EDIT: I've just cancelled the rest of my Abel Cole order. I can get what I was going to order for a fraction of the cost at the supermarket next weekend and if I go to the little Somerfield it will be quiet. Sanity returns............(just!)

    Keren, if buying a chocolate cake for just the two of you was such an issue, I would....out of the sheer goodness of my heart......have come round and shared it with you.

    I am soooo selfless...... :A :)
