The first year we were married, we stayed in England as opposed to going home to Dublin.
Was going to do the grown up thing and do one year on and one year off.
Christmas day in my vile SIL's ???
Frozen turkey
Frozen Veg
Frozen Roast Potatoes
and
Frozen mash
DH nicknamed her the Freezer Queen and it is now our private joke.
The only fresh thing on the plate was the ham, DH had insisted on boiling and baking and that was despite massive pressure from her to him, not to bother.
Now we know why.
