Timings

[purplemom03]

What time did you eat your Christmas dinner compared to when you wanted to eat your Christmas dinner.

Started at half 2 - gradually trying to get the kids to a 'proper' time of 3.30/4ish and I think next year we'll crack it (not English)

Aimed for 1-1.15pm, sat down about 1.25pm

We timed ours to match up with our one year old's lunchtime of 1pm! So we had our starter at 1 and lunch at 1.30. If we didn't have a child we'd have probably eaten around 3pm ish which I'd have much preferred!

1pm - wanted to eat around 2.30 but the food was ready and everyone was "starving" so just dished up

I was aiming for 1:30pm we ate at 1:45pm but still finished in time to watch the King so I was happy.

Bang on time.
daughter is the (very excellent) cook.
I lay on the kitchen settee with the baby. 🥳

Wanted to eat at 2 but we sat down at 3.15. We're all adults so no routine to stick too

We're having it for dinner. Might have soup starter soon. Turkey is cooking

20 minutes late, same as last year, just couldn't get the oven hot enough so I gave it a bit longer

Starters at 3 and dinner at 5:30. Dinner was a bit later than planned but hey ho!

Planned for 1pm. Two year old needed to nap and life passed me by so was about 2.30pm by the time we ate, but no regrets.

Starters at 1 and main at 2pm which is when i had scheduled it for.

That's not bad at all well done

Yeah we recorder the kings speech but ate after it I think we've probably in the last 5yrs only ate once before the queen's speech

We had starter yesterday

Aimed for 2 but ate at 3 because both dogs rolled in something unspeakable and had to be bathed.

My roast potatoes took TWO BLOODY HOURS!!! Put them on at 3.45 aiming for dinner at 5 but was nearly 6 pm by the time they were done.

So annoying. I had two ovens on the go so it just had roast potatoes at the top, a tray of carrots and parsnips and at the bottom pigs in blankets so didn't feel like the oven should have been too rammed full to take that amount of time. 🙈🙈

Blimey my chicken took 2hrs 45 my Phil Vickery turkey crown used to be quicker. Had to poultry as we was having beef and dp has had all his teeth removed And isn't getting dentures til mid January

Oh god mine had a impacted anal glands at 9 last night and was in agony which turned into a abscess this morning and burst this afternoon because PDSA don't help until they burst
