Got my pudding made 3 weeks ago and we all had a stir. Pudding and cake and mincemeat all done, packed and maturing in loads of alcohol.
Sausage rolls and mince pies to be made in 2 weeks time, then freeze ready for each day to take out for munching on.
Cranberry sauce made and frozen last week.
Xmas pressy list done, cards and papers bought and ready to use.
What else will be done on list for required jobs and dates. I print of the same list of what to do and dates each year and try to abide by it. God it makes life so much easier. Laziest way of doing anything.
Even better this year cos we will be doing beef sales and delivery up to 24th December we will be having Xmas day lunch out. Pissed and relaxed!! :lol:

little red bull and drink.
4. Repeat.
5. Turn on the electric mixer, beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.

I like that recipe, but personally I wouldn't bother with the water, sugar, soda, salt and eggs. I would eat the fruit and the nuts raw with the other ingredients.
