just finnished ours - had it at 2.30pm - turkey, roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings, bread sauce, gravy, honeyed parsnips and sausages in bacon.
we're not that keen on vegetabes so we don't have them 🙂 and we don't like stuffing either.
our turkey was a m+s crown.
later we'll have turkey sandwiches ( with mayo ) and maybe christmas pudding - i don't like alcohol but this year i found a non alcholic one in m+s.
the dishwasher is on and...
i have a 2nd turkey breast m+s thingie in the oven for...
the dogs !
excessive ? maybe.
but i started fostering dogs for many tears animal rescue which is based in south wales in april, and i currently have 1 beagle and 4 bichons - 4 girls and a boy. each one is the product of a puppy farm 😞
the little boy bichon is 4 and was used as a stud dog, he is scared.
the bichon girls are 3 and 7 & 7 - producing litters of puppies until they are no longer wanted / needed.
the 3 year old is scared too 😞
one of the 7 year old bichons arrived at the rescue centre unable to see, thanks to the rescue, supporters and fundraisers etc. she was given ' the gift of sight' - eye operations / treatment to remove cateracts etc. and she can see. 🙂
the beagle is also 3 and probably thinks she lives here as she's been here since august..
it's probably safe to say none of them have lived in a house before, never known a dog bed, never been given a dog treat / bone / pigs ear, never been offered a toy and most of all... never been loved.
and unfortunately none of them have been adopted in time to have christmas in a forever home, so as for each of them it will be their first christmas, i decided they deserved a turkey of their own.
besides with 2 dogs of my own and 8 cats, i don't have much in the way of leftovers !
