Grin Santa at falling asleep in turkey!
Managed to get a last-minute Ocado order in - 24th December - and 5 BAGS OF MINI FROZEN CROISSANTS WOOO HOOO!!!
Extortionate delivery charge though - bah humbug to Waitrose...still, saves me loads of stress going in person, I guess.
Ah, so dippy eggs are simply soft boiled? Got it

Sweet Jesus Popbiscuit is this a 100 year old secret family recipe or can we know?

They are here. Read the reviews as there are some good suggestions. I always use active dry yeast dissolved in the warm buttermilk rather than instant.

I want one right now.

Am I the only person who just inhales chocolate coins from the moment they wake up?! I do have smoked fish and eggs at some point though.

Yes I have actually stopped eating altogether and am just consuming wine until the big day. January will see me compulsively doing Zumba classes and trying to to the SHRED video.

We have white toast (only time of the year we have white bread, so kids think it's fabulous!) with pate, and lots of champers (for adults, obv - kids have tea).

Strange, but yum.
