    Hello everyone

    For my Mothers Day present my OH and 2 teenage sons are making the Sunday Roast Dinner. They have never attempted such a challenge (I do it everyweek).

    We are having Roast Chicken with roast Pots, veg and Yorkshire puds.

    This is what we would usually be having anyway so cost for present =£0.

    Slightly worried though as I had to point out that the giblet bag needed removing as they were about to put it in the oven and OH thought that it would only take 20mins to cook - I had to tell him that it was 20 min per 500g + extra 20mins.

    I am trying really hard not to intervene but I really dont want to be ill either!

    Hi Louisej,
    I hope you enjoyed your dinner.
