And this doesnt bode well does it...gotta put the decs up early so got the lights out, went through all the bulbs and yes it was nearly the last one that was out, went to put them round the window and decided to wash the nets, then whilst cleaning the 5' window i thought it needed painting, but sanding first so i had to go to B&Q. 4 hours later neither the nets nor lights are up and i forgot the crumble in the oven which is now burnt! And this is all in the entrance hall, ive got the rest of the house to do yet! that smiles gone....

Thanks for message amber :-)
No prob., shall head down and have a trial run cooking for the Official Christmas!! I used to do Thanksgiving, as well as Christmas so shall just pretend it is a week late! Only problem is Delia Smith's Christmas book with all timings was submerged in water and I can't open it - I thought it quite symbolic really!!!! Just keep my glass topped up and it will go like clockwork :-)

Evening all, just back from a Malaysian meal with friends. Nice lazy day today preparing for the scaffolding tomorrow.
Amberjane, here are a couple of ideas, they always seem to work for me :-
1) Beans on toast, buy beans, heat in pan, while beans are heating put on toast, when both toast and beans are ready serve hot.
2) Phone local Indian Takeaway order selection, collect, serve, eat.
I cant see what all the fuss is about cooking.
PS Chocolat, saga is for old people like Big Al, not young 28 year olds like me ;-)

Could be an idea to get some food in amber!! How about one of those dead bird's that you stuff ........ at least you can feed a lot of people that way!! Al has a Rayburn, so you could ask him to cook it (you can put in night before) and then send it to you via chopper. What ya doing for plates, cutlery ... mon dieu :-) I am off to pour a drink thinking about it.

Don't worry about the dusting, that many people, they will never notice ...
