So even though I was dying (or felt like it) from flu, I think we still managed to pull off a pretty impressive Christmas this year. Which is good, as had it been rubbish, it would have ruined the fact that it was our first spent together in the house.

I cooked the turkey for Nik, and was monumentally proud of how it turned out. This, coupled with the 2 tonnes of vegetables, meant that the Christmas dinner itself was a success, and one from which we recovered by languishing around on the sofa for the rest of the day. This was nothing however, compared to Boxing Day…

8 people in our tiny living room should have meant disaster, but I’m happy to report that the whole day was a resounding success despite the fact that both hosts were suffering on with afore mentioned flu. It was lovely to have both sides of the family together over a buffet meal and endless hours of “UNO Extreme”. Much fun was had by all.

I’m still glad however, that with wedding on the 20th December next year, we won’t be doing it then! Makes you appreciate your Mummy doesn’t it?
