Just the sort of video needed at this time of year - made your cranberry sauce last year too. I fold "undercrackers" as well - has my life come to this?... when I just about had time to fling them in a pile when children were young! Now I'm folding towels and knickers....and standing back to admire my handiwork!

I always fold underwear like that, everything fits nice and neat in the drawers and I put a couple of dryer sheets in the door to keep them smelling nice and fresh, socks and pj’s too. I stick a dryer sheet in any smelly boots or shoes and they keep them smelling much better, they absorb and dampness that might cause odours. Thank you for all the cooking tutorials👍🏼🙋🏼‍♀️

For US viewers - caster sugar is just regular white sugar (In the UK, granulated sugar is a much coarser grind, and you can buy a product known as caster sugar). The name refers to the shaker that sugar is put in to sprinkle (a sugar caster) and therefore has to be a finer grind. I have to admit - Pavlova and slow cooker seemed a little dodgy, but I was willingly to see if it worked. Did you use vinegar in the Pav? Makes the center nice and marshmallowy. Stuffing in the sausage rolls is a good idea. That's how I fold knickers/underpants too - I wonder what other people do it they don't do this!?

This American must learn about Bread Sauce! Seems like stuffing, but not exactly, as has milk instead of butter and hot water. Hmmm… Our family really loves stuffing/dressing (and homemade gravy!), and also love to have red currant jelly or cranberry sauce with chicken/turkey and stuffing type meals. Feels like Thanksgiving, even if it’s an average middle of the week meal with a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Also stuffing with a pork chop (applesauce and stuffing😊) Henry and his seven year-old sized under-crackers, unknowingly borrowed all those years ago! 😂😂😂 So cute that Rob had such an under-stated commentary..❤

Mm love bread sauce. & I enjoy making the sausage rolls. I also do Mince meat Wheels. Spread half a jar of mince meat onto a rolled out sheet of pastry. Roll into long sausage & cut into thin slices.

Helen...need to ask you a question. I bought the nuface electric face roller after seeing it on your show. Been using it for a week now...followed instructions and used it for 5 days and then stopped for 2. Immediately after stopping, the next morning my face was all droopy and lines appeared worse. I find this worrying. Wondered if you had any problems with it, would be very interested to know. Really love your vlogs by the way...big fan...always enjoy them! Have a Happy Xmas.
