    Trip to the independent cheese shop. Get a great selection with crackers, chutneys etc. Lay it out on a board for the evening. A perfect reward after a billable day WFH.

    Tried the frozen parsnips last weekend - very nice indeed.

Frozen peas, posh packet gravy. A few bottles of London Pride or Bombadier.

    Then you aren't cooking all day and have plenty of time to watch Scrooged, Lawrence of Arabia, The matrix, and Zulu.

    Nice

    I like to peel and slice the parsnips and carrots into chunky lengthways slices, put in a round pie tin, salt and pepper, drizzle with a little olive oil, cover in tin foil and whack it in the over. Deeeeeeeeeeeeee-lish.

    Joking aside, it's been a tough year for you, you surely deserve a proper Chrimble dinner?

    You can buy a small turkey crown, so fewer leftovers. Or had you considered that and just fancied something totally different?
