Finally, the last bloody mince pie from Christmas 2009 has been eaten!

As part of the annual waste of money and attempt to empty the shelves in the local supermarkets, everybody buys mince pies, don't they?

Well, I did and finnaly, the last one has been eaten..

so that only leaves the loose nuts; the shortbread; the extra satsumas and mandarins; the crisps, peanuts and 'Pringles' and, of course, the sprouts to go...  I'll let you know as each one disappears from my kitchen..

well, until this coming Christmas, which, at the time of writing, is only 352 days away.. Better start shopping, girls...
