OMG! It's nearly Christmas!

And I am NO WHERE NEAR ready!

In fact I am off to town this afternoon to buy a few more bits, and get my CD player put in the car (So I can play my Christmas CDs). And I'll be doing the same tomorrow too.

How has it got to December already? So far I have bought something for Mum and John, ordered something for Mark which hasn't come, and bought a few bits for Jack. Between me and Mark we have some bit for some of the other kiddies in the family and he's made a good start on his family. It's normally the other way round... Me that has most things done, dusted, wrapped and bagged up according to where it's going and Mark in a flap in the last few days. (He's just read that bit and walked off chuckling, adding a cheeky "Whoot" as he walked out of the room, grrrrr)

I do at least know what I want to get for my Dad and Fay, and Jenny has given me some tips on what to get for a few people too. Jack has a TON of stuff, but no stocking fillers yet, so I'm on with that too. Sort of.

GAHH!

Christmas shopping is a LOT easier when you're NOT pregnant, and are capable of thinking in a straight line!

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
