Nearly Christmas!!!

I have just ONE MORE present to arrive (and it's my hubby's MAIN present, but it should be here tomorrow) and then that's it. I've done all my shopping and wrapping. I am SO poor now... less than £20 in my account (until my tax credit finally turn up, when ever that might be).

But it will all be worth it when my hubby and my son open their presents. And everyone else too, but mainly Mark & Jack. I may have got a little carried away this year... which is not good on a reduced income, but hey, it's Christmas. And I've managed not to go into debt for it.

I'm also thinking that maybe, just MAYBE, this might be a White Christmas this year? I'm not talking about
the definition of an official white Christmas used most widely, notably by those placing and taking bets, is for a single snow flake (perhaps amongst a shower of rain and snow mixed) to be observed falling in the 24 hours of 25 December.
I'm talking about a good layer of snow where WE are so we can build a snowman with Jack! And it might just happen. Maybe. If we're lucky! There's snow here, but not thick. There's hail, rain and sleet too... boo! There's loads of snow at Mums (in fact, we got caught in it yesterday and lost control of the car briefly on the way home. No harm done.) There's snow forecast for Jenny's the the next few days too...! Of cause the other thought is.... of we get the snow, will we manage to gt together for christmas! O_o I don't want snow THAT badly!

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
