into the mincemeat in order to make meat pies later.....been to the shop to buy some pastry to make said mince pies and some eggs to glaze them......posted a letter or two......read and posted on several message boards.......done some ironing.....

now am off to wash my car.....fill up the screen wash......clear out my supply bag of all the rubbish...... might even wash OH's car if I'm not too cold.

Then a nice warming time making mince pies......settle down to taste test a few with a mug of hot chocolate......and lastly off to an exercise class to burn off all the mince pies.

How do I normally get time to work????

Doilies = snowflakes! Or save them for a Victorian's topic, and have the kids mount their black card miniature silhouette onto them, and use them as a border/background etc. for all displays.

sorry mince pies were almost all sold this morning at a coffee and cake 'do'. There is xmas cake, but as I've said that OH can't start on it til the fancy decoration, as opposed to just the flat icing, is done I'd best not let you lot at it just yet either.
