Re: FMB Fanclub

Good god, life without a dishwasher, oh blimey there's no way I could survive without mine.
Anyway men are for two things, thats doing the washing up (if no diswasher then three things), and carrying the shopping from the car to the house, and mowing the lawn.

Re: FMB Fanclub

Perhaps Santa will bring a dishwasher. I know this is sad but I couldn't live without mine. When my old one broke I was traumatised lol. But isn't that why we have husbands - to do the washing up??

I too love to get out the best dishes and having a lovely table laid out, in fact I think I'm a bit OCD about it if the truth be known ha ha. Just got one more present to get, then the meat and veg, and thats it. Oh and the booze of course...

Re: FMB Fanclub

Afternoon,
I am late today but have been doing the old Crimbo shopping, what we haven't got now we are not having. Just need to pick up my meat on Monday and get a bit more bread. I have also got some of that half baked bread it's lovely, little crispy cobs nice hot or cold TBH.
I was ages choosing my melon, don't laugh it has to be not quit ripe and very large lol
I'm going to cut it in half, scoop out the middle and fill it with port. That's my starter lol the rest will be having prawns and melon with a bit of salard as I call it lol he he he getting a bit upsited now lol.
The rest is as always yer turkey dinner, just wishing me fairy godmother was fetching me a dishwasher lol I love getting all my best dishes out and lay the table properly but jeeeez when you pile em up after there are loads. Always managed before though and I will do again, I will be well tipsy by this time anyway so everything seems easier lol.

Re: FMB Fanclub

Oh no, you're mistaken PK, I'm far too busy at work to do the Christmas Quiz :snowlol::snowlol:

But hey, I'm at work till lunchtime on Christmas Eve so got plenty of time. Have decided that if I stay off here all morning, I might be able to get some real work done then I can devote all my time to the quiz lol. But the boss is out and it seems such a waste not to use the time, if you see what I mean........

Re: FMB Fanclub

Well only a couple of days left at work now, so got a few bits to sort out.

Gotta finish the quiz today as well, or I think Hod and Wendy are gonna lynch me

As for Xmas preparations, only got the veg to get now and I think that will be an early door on xmas eve shop for that.

Weve not got a big turkey as we are off to Scotland on the Thursday and will prob stay up there till new years eve.

Re: FMB Fanclub

I'm at work today as usual, then at the bookies tonight. Out tomorrow night for a curry with my mate, then work Firday and Friday night. Pretty much everything sorted now, except for picking up the meat and veg and the tomnatos to make the soup. Have decided to lock the ironing in the conservatory and the dirty washing in the utility room and not open them again till at least Boxing Day. Out of sight out of mind. I'm even up to date at work (well almost).

Its still cold but a bit damp as well now, not as freezing as it has been. Still got 2 jumpers on though lol.

Well I'm working today and then I have done till Boxing Daymas: yo ho ho and will be doing my shopping tomorrow. Pick my meat up Monday and that will be it, what we haven't got we are not having lol.

Right better get dressed take the dog for a jog lol, put the old:washer:on and tidy up.
See you later xx

Re: FMB Fanclub

You could always buy a fresh one then stick it in the freezer for a day or so, then do the shed plan. Or is that a really stupid idea??

Re: FMB Fanclub

Re: FMB Fanclub

Thanks hun, I just needed someone to tell me that I wasn't being a fruitcake

Glad you wern't relying on me to do that!

Re: FMB Fanclub

Yea that's what I figured, by buying a frozen one, it gave me more storage time, it's very dry and secure in the shed, and yes at the moment not any warmer than my fridge, plus if it's in the fridge then it drips everywhere and you can't fit ****** all else in there.

Will check the defrost times when I go to Asda, I do have room to shove one in the freezer for a day or so at the moment if needed.

Re: FMB Fanclub

Of the two options, deffo the frozen option as long as it's well covered and in the shed depending on size it will take at least 2 days to defrost. So if you get it late Thursday it'll probably be Sunday before it's defrosted and I should imagine your shed would not be much warmer than your fridge tbh.
That would be what I would do Delta, check the defrost info on the packaging anyway because a lot will also depend on the size of the bird.

Re: FMB Fanclub

Ok guys I have a likkle pwoblem.

Due to himself working all weekend, I have to do some shopping tomorrow, so if I buy my fresh turkey tomorrow (planning to cook it Xmas Eve) it's not gonna be much good come Monday is it? (plus there is no where to keep it)

So, I suggested getting a frozen one, sticking it out in the shed and leaving it to defrost all alone. Himself thinks this is bad idea, but as I have said, it's gonna take a while to defrost anyway, and at least it's out of the way and I don't have to store it (somewhere where muttchops can't get at it)

So which option is better?

Re: FMB Fanclub

the nursery's guinea pig has no home.... so i've volunteered...opps LOL

I suppose it s cheaper than buying a Turkey, although theres not much meat on the legs if you ask me.
