Oh bugger !!
Guess who misread the weight of the turkey 
Glanced at the label when I picked it up from the butcher and misread it as 6.5LB when in fact it is 6.5 KG !! What a nobber
So there I was chilling out with loads of time to spare, merrily singing to crap xmas songs in the kitchen thinking 3 p.m is fine for when the future inlaws come over. Now we wont be eating until at least 5.30 to 6 p.m
Oh well, I shall just have to entertain them with my witty jokes
Or failing that do my elephant impression

lunchtime meal, only to discover once thawed it only needs 1 and a half
hours to cook, not 3 (from frozen) lol.

Well, I don't mean to brag but my turkey was splendid 
£17 reduced to a tenner yesterday tea-time, sage, bay, butter and quality smoked bacon under the skin, onion, celery and leak in the cavity. 2 3/4 hours, then left to stand whilst I did the veg. Roast tatties in duck fat, parsnips with honey, mustard, olive oil and lemon glaze, broc, cauli and carrot. The gravy was also sublime this year with the offal and lots of onion, celery, leaks and parsnip under the bird to soak the juices in with some Chardonnay and olive oil. And not forgetting the essential pigs in blankets 
Kid in bed now and about to settle with my loved one with a wee dram and a good movie
Merry Christmas everybody

sounds lovely dave
Well disaster averted, they were all quite happy to wait and so ms swiss and I knocked up a lovely cinammon and apple/mincemeat flan in the meantime
sat down after 6 p.m in the end and I think everyone was quite impressed with the food
Ate too much and had to sit down later feeling like a right porker
