The Stylish Mamma

So being a kid grown up in London the UK I do like classic stuff in my life and my dad would always make mine and potatoes especially this time of the year and just what you needed when the climate had changed to bitterly cold weather and still a lover of this type of food now.  I am a traditonlist when it comes to food and I do live seasonallty in terms of food, but items that I could have again and again.  Items hat can be chucked in a pot is me and I love my slow cooker and miss not having this in my life but going to treat myself to a crop pot as these seem to be a great alternative item to have in the kitchen and let me know if you have one and what they are like, have you found them useful.  Chucking everything in one pot meals are it for me and I love a stew and a caserle for this very reason.  I love to have hot chocolate too and had my second this part of the year and started as of today as I write this post to have a cup tea when I get back home rather than a can of diet coke

What am I talking about? C H R I S T MA S NO WAY TOO EARLY! They, and I mean the TV news bullitens have started counting days already and I am like PLEASE DON'T WE ARE EXPERIENCING A HEAT WAVE IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW in the UK and I am just not ready.  I have in passed blogs talked about xmas, and how I would plan from tbe following January to the next one, and now to far ahead for me, more like Mid December perhaps as we approach November, but no time sooner.  There are people, and I have been told I am mad, who have already started getting ready, and I am like are they really human? Cause for me not this year. I do leave it to the last minute to get out Christmas cards and have left it too late, and then thought I'll save them for next year, and don't.  I now set my money and financial planning in quarters and that has been the biggest change for me this year, and not gonna pile on the pressure for Christmas this year, so I am waiting. Its not that I am a humbug again, its
