[Margaret Pilkington]

Last Christmas we were nomads.....the one before that I didn't cook a thing.....himself and I had words and I withdrew all services. The only thing he got that Christmas was hot, sharp tongue and cold shoulder.....which there were huge portions of.....so it lasted a few days.
I am not sure what the menu will be this year, but suffice it to say it won't make the table groan.....I won't do a starter, or a pud.
I will just do a substantial Sunday roast of some description.....himself will probably finish off his dinner with strawberries and cream, or ice cream.

The media and magazines make people feel like they should do the perfect meal.......they raise the expectations so that those who cannot meet those expectations feel as if they have let the side down.
I have given up pleasing others....if I please myself I know that at least one person is happy!
