Jerry destroys stuff too, usually by eating it lol. Have bought him one of those hexagon ball thingys which you fill (or half in his case cos he's a fat git). with carrots and apples or pony nuts. Keeps him amused,(or peed off as the case may be) he kicks it round his stable for ages, even ignores his haynet to play with it. Had it 2 weeks now and its not wrecked yet. I can't believe it lol.

Morning,
Just to add a comment to the above horsey posts lol I bet Lugger comes back with all sorts if they send a catologue with his first order lol.

The weather is ok so far today not as cold I don't think.

Not good news for turkeys me thinks a bird flu outbreak being reported, so whatever happens with this expect turkeys to be like gold dust this year and a lot more pricey.
It's something we have come to expect now though , they just can't seem to control these things, even with all their rules and technology.
I could get by without a turkey no probs I only ever buy a crown anyway, don't know what happens to the other bits lol probably best not knowing either.

Re: FMB Fanclub

There was a guy on the news saying yesterday that the meat from these turkeys is ok and of no danger to us, he said that he could go to the farm involved, and collect a turkey (as long as it had been de-feathered), and then cook it and eat it and it would be fine. He did say that he would have to keep disinfecting his hands, and of course everything that the turkey had been near in the kitchen.

It's just another thing that helps raise the price at this time of year, and detracts our attention from the Gobberment employing illegals, the astronomical price of fuel and other such 'non stories'.

Seeing as I am only catering for 4 of us on Christmas day, I don't think I will be buying a big bird anyway....other half would be happy with sausage and mash!

other half would be happy with sausage and mash!

Followed by 4 chocolate bombe's?

I'm sure this happened last year and they said there would be a shortage of turkey's, if I remember correctly they couldn't give them away on Christmas Eve!!!

I have one in the freezer anyway so not too worried.

Re: FMB Fanclub

Sausage and mash maybe, but how many chocolate puddings? pmsl

Re: FMB Fanclub

well I'm totally unorganised when it comes to xmas this year...... not even started it yet. Only just managed to get through my youngest's birthday last week. At least I can finally make a start on it now I know we are going to have some money coming in. as for the turkey....well hopefully I won't have to bother as it looks like we will be trecking up to bristol to spend xmas day with my mum, (not a prospect hubby's looking forward to though lol) we should have a housefull....with my nan, brother and his fiancee aswell. kids are looking forward to it anyway and the most stressfull thing i'll have to do all day is drive there and back..lol

Re: FMB Fanclub

Morning all, Well I've made my Xmas Cakes (need to decorate with nuts and cherries then finished, and the Puds are done as well). I make 8 of each 'cos we give them away to our friends (its a bit of a tradition that I've built up over the years, a purely selfish one as I love making them and the smell of the spices etc in the house in October is so lovely).
Not that worried about having a Turkey to be honest, might even just have a great big Chicken and either Pork or Beef alongside of it.
Can't decide what to do for starters this year though. Will probably be something with Prawns as I have loads of them in the freezer, so would be stupid not to use them.

Re: FMB Fanclub

I don't need to enhance them with coins the quality speaks for itself he he he

Seriously though the reason I do it, is a) because one of our friends started it with homemade wine to everyone and b) I genuinely enjoy making them.
