Vegan Christmas dinner.

I have my proper Christmas dinner with my parents at home on Boxing day after an eventful morning raiding the sales.
This year we had our dinner at tea time and were lucky enough to have Tofurky, which I bought from the Whole Foods Market, during a recent day trip to London.
As it was Christmas we went all out and made vegan bread sauce and vegan Yorkshire's. Safe to say it was the best meal EVER.

The best money I have ever spent.

SO GOOD.


Pre condiments and gravy.


With condiments and gravy.


Safe to say that I will now be spending the rest of my life trying to recreate this meal. Every year I'm going to nip to London before Christmas and stock up on this beauty. Worth every penny. If only Tofurky was sold in the North East!!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!
Hope you all had a lovely day. Though I'd share with you what I've been up to.

Christmas necklace from Thriftola.

Owl 'engagement' ring off Jenny.


Christmas vegan cupcakes by Ms Cupcake, clockwise from top left; triple choc, oh christmint tree (mine), mince pie and apple spice.



Christmas presents - aka spoilt.


Can't wait for my Jake film fest :D


I asked for a Heart Rate Monitor to get serious with my training in the New Year. My dad also gave me a sprouting kit (that he's clearly going to steal from me!)


For Christmas dinner we go up to my Aunty Mary's house (aka YM). Me and my Dad had a jokey bet on to see who could get YM to swear first. I won as she was showing me her joke Christmas present which was a lump of poo. I kept asking her what it was and she said "s**t" hehe. Its always so nice to see everyone, but this year we got to briefly see Aunty Barbara! She's a fan of the blog and usually gets me a necklace so look at what it was :O

Yey!

After YM's we go through to see my dad's cousin and his family in Durham. John Lavery (JL) always gets us jokey calenders, mine are usually "hunks" or something which he finds hilarious and I never use. This year I got this calender:


I think I will use this, bit of a novelty! Thanks JL!


Hope you all had a great time and hope Santa was kind!
I must go to sleep now as I'm one of those sados who goes to the Metro Centre early for the sales.

Nail Art: Christmas Nails.

As today was the last day of November, I decided to practise my Christmas nails.
I used Nails Inc "Edinburgh Gate" which I got as part of my free gift when I spent over £40 on their Gossip Girl collection ;)


What do you think? :)
