I saw many with trolleys stocked high . maybe large families or plenty money !

Ditto Aimee It never ceases to amaze me how much food people buy  at this time of year.... FGS the shops are only shut for a day

Same here erin, We've also got a chicken in the freezar to defrost for the 2nd. But apart from the pie and roast for New Year's dinner we'll only be buying bread and milk. I never go to the shops between 22/23 December and 4th/5th January as they are full of mad people buying 2 to 3 months worth of food for Christmas, then doing it all again for New Year. I get a bit hysterical (laughterwise) if I have to see thesse people with 2 or 3 trolleys each, all packed to the gunnels!

Thats the food I like best, I can't stand being made to eat big dinners i'm not a big eater at the best of times

I don't go to a diet club (probably should though) but I've lost a few pounds since before Christmas.    I think it's because I've been on holiday and eating what I want.  I've not gone crazy when I have been eating though - I know there's tons of goodies I can if I want to, so I'm not stuffing food down my neck willy nilly.    If I'm at work, I have brekkie, lunch, dinner, cuppas throughout the day - at home I get up late, have something for brekkie then I'm not really hungry at lunchtime and probably won't have much till teatime.     I'm going to try to continue eating only what I want and when I want when I go back to work I think.  I've hardly had anything to drink either - I'd be as well not drinking at all and taking my car with me - I might do a Soozy after New Year and just give it up

Pizza Hut pizza's tonight! 

 

We are getting them early...    a large one each (so people can keep their box & graze on left over bits later)

 

 

snap on the pork 

 

the young one and mates and girlfriends are soon off to Pizza hut - they have a table for 20 booked and are then supposed to be coming back to the village club for drinkies .....  I have a fear they will descend on me instead ...  wonder how many sleeping bodies I find scattered around the house in the morning 

MrsH

The fridge and pantry are groaning under the weight of it all! No idea how many will call in tonight, (in the centre of the village so likely to get a lot of callers,) nor how many will be 'well enough' to turn up tomorrow for a hangover roast, so am prepared for all eventualities and numbers.  I love cooking and feeding people

Kaffs, I'm with you, I eat and drink far less when I'm not at work. It was getting all too easy to go for a pint after work to 'de-stress' and then  come in and open a bottle of wine whilst making supper, so I pretty much knocked it on the head earlier this year and I'm not missing it at all. I really need to start taking something 'healthy' in for lunch, I end up being too busy to eat and then grabbing rubbish from the 'tuck shop' which may help the animal charities the money goes to but not me!

Having said that, this not drinking much does have it's down side, I've had two gnts tonight and feelalready!
