My two youngest kids are 11 and 10 and are both non believers -father Christmas  that is, and this year I thought that a lie in could be expected, how wrong can you be, 5.30am both up and just as excited as they ever were, now we have finished opening all their presents, mobile phones and the like Im off to bed.

 snoppy ;merry christmas;

Off to bed?!?!?!?!??  --- LUCKY YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Nice & quiet in your house, I bet, eh Paul?........

Charmaine cooking the dinner?

Lovely thought.

I am not allowed to go back to bed.

lol yeah really quiet Tikay!!

And we are BOTH cooking the dinner.

LMAO James - and so you shouldnt!! Glad to see Jane putting her foot down

Can you ask Charmaine how long I should cook my turkey for? I put it in the oven, wrapped in tinfoil, an hour ago. 2 hours? 3 hours?

I've had a NIGHTMARE with it already. It stunk shocking after it had been cooking 20 minutes, so I read the label & it said I had to remove a giblet bag "from the neck opening". (Did not look like a "neck opening" to me, I guess thats where the expression "get it in the neck" came from). So I took this sort of half melted plstuic bag out, it had a quite dreadful looking think inside it, if that belonged to the turkey, I must say, he was very well endowed, made me jealous actually.

So, how long before it's done? It's "Medium" (except it's giblet, which was hugely impressive) & came from Tescos.

Keep sticking a knife in the deepest part of the meat hun .... when th juices run clear.. it's done :)

About 20 mins per pound...

Alternatively, when the cats sit next to the oven...it's done:)

20 minutes per pound? Well it cost £13, so I guess that's just over 4 hours. Scandalous, you oughta be able to cook things quicker than that.

You are taking the mick now Mr Kay :)

Weight darling as I am scared you will have a carbonised Bird!

Mr Nun has now decided he can't be bothered to go out for chrissy din din's at curry house...So I am now lookin at the dog thinking ..how long would it take to slow roast her...

Tut Tut...

mrs nun aint you heard of tesco's i hear they sell tins of stuff there that you can open and put in the microwave

He may possibly change his mind yet....but i doubt it ...

All my kids are too grown up to do the "Get up dad, santa's been" stuff anymore and I miss it  :(

On the other hand, we are going to my daughters for Crimbo dinner, just turn up and eat  :D

This dogs taking some plucking by the way...

 :redcard:

Sorry a Tikay misread there, could be something to do with 2nd bottle of red, eying the brandy also  :ironside:

Post of the Day!

Quietest Christmas we've had in years !!! was pure heaven .
Dinner was lovely , love sharing the responsibility  :)up

Christmas Korean style

that explains the limp..................

I was up at 7, making loads of noise, by 7:45 I gave up and went back to bed, even the dog went into the bedroom and sat on one of them, they still didn't wake up.  Noise eventually came from their room at 9:15am.

30 mins later it was all over and done with for me, they had more to open when their Dad came for them at 1pm.  So long as they had a good day I guess that's all that matters.

So did anybody get anything they weren't expecting?  Maybe we should start a Blonde swapshop for the stuff we don't want.  lol

My girls got me an ity bity mp3 player, it holds 500 songs and you can download from any sorce, just plug it into the earphone socket of any audio device, and it converts it into an mp3

It has a built in radio (you can record from that too) it runs for 18 hours on one AAA battery, it plays through the car stereo and its the size of a cigarette lighter

I lurrrrve it!!!

Mind and no lose it then.

My Ipod appears to have died on me, i have all the kit for it too!!
Gonna have to get another i think, BOOOOOOO!

Yup, mine died too ifm. I miss it a lot, suppose I'd better get another, but then there is the hassle of downloading stuff, aarrrggghh. Thewy did it for me last time.

Talking of Thewy, he gave me a lovely book - "Untold Stories" by Alan Bennett, big thick job. (The book, not Bennett). He's very good at knowing what I like to read, last year he gave me Bill Brysons "A short history of nearly everything", probably the most awesome book I've ever read, full of amazing facts about life & our Planet.

My boys got me a signed copy of Bobby Robsons autobiography "Farewell but not goodbye"   ....  well happy with that, the man is a legend.

You'll have to learn to read now but I'm sure it'll be woth it.

Jen & I stayed in Newcastle during the P4C Fessie, at a decent Hotel in the middle of town.

On the Sunday dinnertime, in the Hotel lobby, (The Mags were home to Man U that day), and right there, sat on the next table to us was Bobby Robson, looked VERY smart, surrounded by his family & lots of hangers on.

I says to Jen - "wow, look, Sir Boby Robson".

"Who?" she says..........

Girlies, First Class Degree in Ancient something & never heard of Sir Bobby Robson!

Do you mean WORTH ?   I am a proof reader ;)

A proof drinker more like.....
