Well since about 6am this morning I have been chopping, slicing, seasoning and simmering so now I have decided to have a break and a cup of well deserved tea!!...I like to be well prepared and I am happy to say about 90% of my dinner prep is done!! I have even seasoned my Turkey crown (doing a Nigella!!) by pulling back the skin and pricking it all over and then rubbing butter into the breast with some lemon juice and a sprinkle of rosemary!! Should be nice, I hope!!...but I still have heaps to do before I can realy put my feet up and relax! Also Derek finishes work early today so I will have to get his dinner ready soon after which I am going to clean my kitchen from top to bottom, ready for tomorrow! My fridge is stuffed to bursting though and I am finding it very difficult to fit stuff in there. This evening Derek and I are off to a neighbours party which should be fun, but I am realy looking forward to my bath, Port and supper! and a reletivly early night as the roast will need to be cooked from about 8am!

Anyway!! here are some piccies of my home in this festive season!
Looks like a bleedin' fairy grotto to me!! LOL!!!
