Early Christmas Dinner...

On the night of the 23rd we have a Christmas Party. We've had one ever since we all moved in together, so this actually our 7th year. This year, for the first time and very definitely hopefully not the last, we were joined by the 'Bury Blogging Massive', the group of bloggers who I am privileged to live closely enough to that we can all get together fairly regularly - although never before all in the same place at the same time!

It was all going swimmingly all day baking and preparing, but when I came to reheat sausage rolls and things at 7pm my oven didn't work! I cooked everything in the tiny top oven and this morning (feeling a little dishevelled) we were up at 7.30am with my partner dismantling the oven.


By 8.45am he was on his way to pick up a replacement motor and by 10.30 we had a working oven! Yeaay! 

So tonight, while we have all of the children together, we had our Christmas dinner. The oven didn't let us down and thankfully we didn't have to start Googling 'how to barbeque an entire roast dinner'. I hope your Christmas dinner goes just as well....

      It was a great relief! We did think of several back ups - mainly going to see the Deacon to see if we could use the Church Hall nearby :D
