Jo - talk sausage savoury to me please....what's that little baby.....

sausage savoury!?

My guess is its a sausage roll, whatever it is I haven't time to make it

Why am I so behind? It's this bleeding snow

Hey less of the laughing
It is an old family recipe, one of my mums aunties came up with it TBH not so much a recipe as a throw it all in, we only really make it at Xmas

Sausage meat
tin chopped tomatoes
small packet of paxo
1 Large onion
2-3 eggs depending on size

Chuck it all in a bowl, mix well, split between 2 cake tins and bake on gas 3 for a couple of hours.
It is the first year I have made it myself without mum watching over me, hasn't turned out too bad.
I know it probably sounds rank and tbh it isn't the most attractive dish ever but very tasty

To make you all feel better, I still have to :

Do all the laundry (including 4 sets of sheets!)

Buy presents - not bought any apart from 2 for my nephews which are winging their way to foreign lands as we speak (not just 2 presents, but 2 nephews)

Buy card and present for hubby

Buy presents for the dogs , and dog treats

Buy dog food

Buy fruit and veg - have some but not NEARLY enough

Do the booze-run

Tidy the house

Hoover, clean the floors (wood), polish and prep the house for visitors

Erm...that's about it. Acht, won't be long in getting it all finished! See you tomorrow night pulling my hair out - as I still have biscuits, cake and other foods to make before Christmas Eve!

 

[Mamafy]

see you tomorrow night toffepop, are you still not done the presents?

It'll all come together, usually does

 

[ToffeePop]

[Terrie]

i was feeling BAH HUMBUG this morning our car died.. we thought it was the on board computer (quoted £1000 to fix - we kissed goodbye to our 2011 florida holiday) but it turned out to be something else which only cost £120 inc. labour costs so that put me back in the xmas mood

did my last few bits of shopping today (spent over £100 ) and all the wrapping is done too except for one last present which ive just walked through the door with!

have cleaned the house... although it still looks cluttered because of the xmas decs,cards and presents *bleugh* just the bathroom laundry to bring downstairs and i need to change the washing machine over

just tried to buy alcahol in Morribobs but they wouldnt serve me without ID *pfft* so need to go back later to get that.

2moro we're going on the steam train at lunchtime then over to my dads for xmas dinner and present opening as we just dont have time to see them xmas day. actually gonna ring them now and tell them not to make dinner for us because they dont eat till late and we want the kids in bed early..

its nearly christmas!

 

[Mervs Mum]

I cant believe you got ID'd!! I would have been sooooo happy!!

 

[Rowesb]

what, on the dy off ur big xmas alcohol stock up.... there is most definately a time and place or that one Lisa

 

[Mervs Mum]

Nah I'd have taken the pain for that type of compliment!!

 

[ToffeePop]

Where DID that sig come from? Love it!

Do all the laundry (including 4 sets of sheets!) Hubby has taken them to a launderette as we have no dryer and he knows that I would go mental watching clothes hang everywhere...bless hiM!

Buy presents - not bought any apart from 2 for my nephews which are winging their way to foreign lands as we speak (not just 2 presents, but 2 nephews)Everything bought

Buy card and present for hubby pending!

Buy presents for the dogs , and dog treats pending

Buy dog food OOPS!

Buy fruit and veg - have some but not NEARLY enough waiting til tomorrow to get it as fresh as...

Do the booze-run DONE!

Tidy the house after this cup of coffee

Hoover, clean the floors (wood), polish and prep the house for visitors as above...

I managed to get some stuff done! But the dogs! Oh well, they'll have tatties and turkey and ....

[ToffeePop]

See? I'm procrastinating again. But you lot don't know me well enough yet - you'll come to find I make everyone else seem organised, lovely, patient, kind and the "Kind of person they want to be" in comparison ! That's why I'm good to have around!

(And this is me without booze? !)
