I haven't got a breadmaker like you have but I've bought some of Aldi's packet bread mixes, we love those :)

Yes, I'm cooking the turkey, Ton - under supervision ... :lol:

I'm currently defreezing the gammon joint and we're going to cook that this Sunday. It'll all be gone by Christmas Day!

I swear that one day someone will have their fingers cut off in this house while I'm carving the gammon joint! They all stand there picking pieces as I cut it ;)

Jo have a go with those bread mixes, make the dough then when it's risen cut into portions and roll into long thin shapes.
Like giant breadsticks :D

Getting quite Christmassy here too :)
I think I have done all my food shopping now and the fridge and freezer are groaning with goodies. Christmas Milonga tomorrow, so a time to dress up and put my heels on and tango the night away :P

All sounds lovely Di :D :D :D

Our house has been very Christmassy for a while now, we started earlier than usual as we won't be here much over Christmas week.
