Santa mum brought all my gifts with here (looks like Santa forgot my new address!!) We had a good blow out with salmon en cruet starter , turkey with all the roasts and veg and trimmings. Made my own gravy from turkey juice and got it a bit thick but thats how I like it. Opened presents and got some nice gifts, eldest lad made me a D on a board out of copper pipe fittings (what do you expect from a plumber!) , daughter had some little books of the grandkids photos made so that was very nice as missing seeing them, my sister got me a cook book called kitchen favourites with lots of TV chef recipes from soups through to puds and cookies . Mum got me an angle grinder (my pick as worn my old one out) and youngest just put some money in a card (about right!)
Have a LOAD of food left and thats after dividing it up between myself and mum, bubble and squeak today with turkey jalfrezi and will be making a turkey and mushroom pie with any left over veg chucked in. With all the cake, Christmas pud,biscuits, sweets and all looks like the diet will have to wait till the end of Jan.
