Fantastic Christmas had here that concluded with a New Years engagement. Ate way too much, didn’t drink nearly enough and when the dust settles, I could do with another week off! Happy New Year to Cheap Eats 🙂
and the same to you Peter!!!alas i was back to the grindstone today 🙁 however due to receiving some new cookbooks as presents, i spent today daydreaming of what i was going to make this evening!as per usual drank too much yet didnt eat as much,prob due to my 1st year as a fully fledged no “L plates”vegetarian! 😀
I did exactly the same thing! I now have a freezer full of mince pies and two tins of sweets under the stairs. All of the kettle crisps are finally gone and we’re still having cheese based dinners. I got on the scales yesterday and gained 4lbs in three weeks. Im both impressed and disgusted with myself.
Claire, I’ll give you my address and you can send me some of those sweets. No need to thank me 🙂 Made it home after 7 hours in panic striken airport, nursed a sick baby and looked after a sick husband and came back 3 pounds lighter. Survived on bread and pasta all week because my mother in law considers use by date an option and everything in her fridge smells too suspicious for me to even taste it. But all in all, it was a good Christmas. The kids were spoiled rotten, they enjoyed the snow, I had extra pairs of arms to hold the baby, and most important we saw our loved ones which is what Christmas is about
