[/URL] Been out for afternoon tea with my sister - drool. Was amazing. Mini prawn cocktail, roasties with aioli, spiced parsnip soup, sausage roll, and a turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwich. Chocolate orange brownie, cream scone, mini trifle, mince pie, gingerbread Christmas tree...

Just been in to visit work on the last day of term. The old head used to retreat to her office with a fake migraine on the last day of term. The new head has sprung for a huge buffet of platters from M&S to say thanks to everyone for all their hard work. Turned up on the right day to snaffle...

Usually about once every 2/3 weeks. There's just the 2 of us (eating anyway - 3 month old baby doesn't like takeaways :D) I like Chinese but husband doesn't so every so often he will give in and let me get Chinese; more often an Indian or pizza though we actually prefer getting a couple of fresh...

I'm currently sitting here feeling a little fat having just demolished a load of lebkuchen - just can't resist continuing to eat them!

I made the exact same banana bread from the same recipe this week :) Not much left of it now! Do you find you need to bake it for practically double the time it says, or is it my rubbish oven?

Just had two crumpets with melted cheese and bits of spring onion on. Now having some chips dipped in chilli barbecue sauce. So healthy :D Making a chicken dinner tonight. As it's National Yorkshire Pudding Day (apparently), best go out to get some eggs to get some yorkies made!

Just finished a chicken dinner. Got in a little later than normal so ended up being later than I expected! Chicken with roasties, sprouts, broccoli and peas. Yum :)

Heroes. Bought them to 'have in, in case anyone comes round over Christmas'. Then noticed they now include Wispas. Well, mine DID include Wispas.

About to eat a boiled egg sandwich and almost crying with envy at DJ's breakfast bagel. :(

My favourites are: Michel Roux Jr. - gutted he isn't on Masterchef Pros any more as I can't stand Marcus Wareing. Glad Monica Galetti stayed though. James Martin - Saturday Kitchen is a weekly watch (I just love him for his egg puns really ;) ) Rick Stein - though some of the stuff I see him...

Large glass of wine to celebrate the fact I'm going to save £1200 on stamp duty! :D

They are called Treeslets this year and are Christmas tree shaped :D

Hand keeps dipping into the Christmas pot of Twiglets I bought last night, whilst marking. Have had chilli in the slow cooker since 11, so hoping when it comes to eating at about 6pm it will be at the meat-falling-apart stage. :)

Had smoked haddock risotto for dinner. Was divine. Now having a couple of chocolate digestives and a mug of tea in bed before sleep time :)

It's a real shame the cat was put down, but I do have something to add to show the owners might not be total demons: A few months ago, a gorgeous ginger cat started hanging around our house. He was uncastrated and spraying, was upsetting our cats. I saw that one day he had a really sore looking...

Can get them in the deli near my work :)

Cottage pie sort of thing, with sliced potatoes on the top instead of mash as I didn't have any big potatoes, only new :)

Poor quality pic, for which I apologise, but: In the top picture, Meg on the left with the new boy Rufus on the right. In the bottom picture, Meg on the left with Freddie, this was taken the day before he was knocked down (it is a picture of a picture which is why the quality is so rubbish)...

We're going out, but just to a friend's house. Last year we had an amazing New Year, 12 of us rented a farmhouse near Worcester for a week and we went down on 29th Dec, stayed til a couple of days after new year. Had a great time. Plus we'd just got engaged at Christmas, and a couple of friends...

No idea. She had been outside for about an hour, and came in limping. We think it is most likely she has trapped it in something and done the damage when trying to yank it out as there is no external trauma that would point to her being clipped by a car or attacked by another animal.
