Handbags   (The sad, the bad and the ugly. Non-productive stuff here.)

I am chief cook and bottle washer in our house I spent 2 hours yesterday preparing the veg. Started cooking the turkey crown straight after breakfast(Turkey for the eldest lad (not keen on meat). Later will do Braising steak for every one else with York puds and pigs in blankets for all,while this is cooking will be taxi to Atherton and back.Apple pie cooked and Christmas pud will only take a few mins with Brandy sauce for my wife and youngest lad. Would I miss all this not a chance to have the Grandchildren for Christmas day every other year
