We are only having people over tomorrow, so everything is waiting for then. Just realised I’ve not thought about what to cook for tea tonight!

Always Chinese on Christmas Eve for us! Lots of food prepped so no space to cook :)

Me! Had to dash out earlier and buy some party food for a picnic tea.

We're going to have grilled bacon, sausages, with poached egg and baked beans

All those having KFC - what do you order? I've had 2 from different restaurants this year and they've both been awful - really greasy, tiny portions and hardly any meat! Used to love a KFC too.

Lots of the M &S party food range with a big cheese and crackers

We have beef stew and potatoes/dipping bread and then nibbles.

I was going to cook something but can't be bothered now so going to order a take away curry later and relax.

Fish and chip takeaway for DD and I tonight. I can't be arsed with cooking on Xmas eve. DS wants McDs so he can have that.

We are going to Dd tonight for nibbles and cheese although Dh is staying home as is still suffering from flu. I am over it but I don’t feel at all hungry so I will probably not eat much. I have prepped everything for tomorrow and I have so much food but Dh I and I probably won’t want much to eat.

I bought some of the party food stuff from M&S and Asda so we are having mini toad in the holes, Mac and cheese bites and the like with a bit of salad on the side to persuade myself it's not that unhealthy honest!!

I'm getting my nails done currently and the fish and chip shop is next door and calling to me...

Last night oh had KFC and I had gammon and cheese crackers. Today I feel ill after too many chocolates

We've got a half duck and pancakes kit from Gressingham, cheaper and healthier than a takeaway and easy to do

Spanielsarepainless · 24/12/2022 16:38

Mine looks like the hanging gardens of Babylon, but we are having a tin of soup and mince pies and cream!

FirstnameSuesecondnamePerb · 24/12/2022 16:38

Usually do mac cheese and a full buffet.
This year, having Indian delivered. Its on its way now. It will be cheaper I reckon

Wrong thread sorry gahh

Yes! I’ve just got home from a day in A&E with my toddler, who has early pneumonia. Got some antibiotics in her and a Zizzi delivery on the way despite food in for tea. Just can’t face cooking and she wants to be on me anyway. Merry Christmas all!

Wetblanket78 · 24/12/2022 17:12

We usually get a takeaway. But it's always busy wait ages. So I took some salt and pepper chicken skewers out. Knowing I would forget to get something for tea. Going to do a stir fry.😋What about something quick and easy like baked potatoes with beans and cheese.

Mumsnet: can you remove that?
