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!

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers: Liver and bacon with onions and gravy and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’ liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz butter 2 tbsp sunflower oil 4 tbsp plain flour 1 onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky bacon rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1 beef stock cube 500ml/18fl oz jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato ketchup salt and freshly ground black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
