Started early as I had my legs, eyebrows and other bits waxed - it has to be done!! Then off out to the deli, the butcher (to collect the turkey & stuffing for Boxing Day), and finally to Waitrose.
OMG - I have never seen so many people & staff running around like headless turkeys (well it is Christmas) also inexplicably the aisles were full of green trays of stock which weren't being put on the shelves because the staff were elsewhere. Still ignoring all that - I was very organised and just after 12:15 was back home.
The lovely Agnes had cleaned my house beautifully as always and so after putting everything away I got everything ready for dinner - duck in oven, potatoes par-boiled and into the roasting tray sprinkled with rosemary & sea salt, cabbage shredded, broccoli trimmed and mushrooms sliced. Then I made a chocolate & cranberry cake (from the Waitrose magazine), and prepared a pineapple, some cherries and lychees for dessert.
After all that it was off to the hairdressers (result below - rather lovely I think!)
Tonight our friends came for dinner - unfortunately my friend is in hospital but her daughters, sons & husband came and we had a lovely evening. Food all turned out well and next time Michelle I want you with us :0)
So that's it for today.
Tomorrow we've got friends for dinner so more cooking for me. Maybe going to shul (a bit of spiritual uplift never does any harm!!) but it depends on what time I wake up.
Hope everyone has a fab weekend.

PS: had a very small piece of choc & cranberry cake this evening to taste but otherwise have had a very good 'diet day'. Made sure I had breakfast, lunch, fruit as snacks and lots to drink - determined not to go berserk over Christmas :0)
