Still no snow!

How did you like all of those scheduled posts? I'm so pleased they all worked! Thank you to all those who left such lovely comments, I do love to know what you think.

Not long to go now, how are you holding up? It's all systems go here, as per usual the Christmas rush is upon us even despite my best efforts to be organised. Plans to get my daughters fringe cut today failed when the postman didn't show up until midday! And shopping, oh the dreaded food shop looms!

We have been keeping ourselves busy :) I finally went to see "Breaking Dawn" last night and concidering the reviews weren't very good -I enjoyed it (and the chinese)! Here's what else we've been up to.

A spot of baking...

...and there I was thinking (hoping) I could have 5 mins "me" time! Fresh out of the bath my little elf had to join in (but can I say) -she did remarkably well! They were delish concidering it was my (our) first ever batch! With the left over pastry we made some exploding jam tarts! You live-you learn. Now I know not to use soo much jam next time around!

Eagerly awaiting the verdict from Santa on PNP...

 ...you must try this, even if you don't have kids! Finally Santa can say my daughters name this year, unlike previous years.

Mmmm, yummy yorkshires...

 ...I'm no Delia when it comes to Roast dinners, yet I do love to indulge. So concidering it's either my own attempt or nothing -I had a dummy run Xmas dinner at the weekend and check out those Yorkshires -very impressed! The recipe came from the Hairy Bikers "Mum's Know Best" cook book.

More cake...

...for hubby to take to work. This is such an easy cake to make and tastes great. The American guy my husband works with even said it was the best cake he's had since he left America! *Grin*

So as you can see, lots of food and treets on the go. Everything is starting to feel festive now even without the snow.

Should I not make it back before the big day I have scheduled a post :) Enjoy the festivities peeps.

Best Wishes...........Katie x
