I love a glazed ham and do a different glaze every year. We do it the weekend before Christmas. Discovering frozen leftover ham and h bone stock in winter is amazing.
We're nearly there #SecretSantaAoNZ just two more sleeps (unless you're a midnight opener)
How about a question? What's a must have food? Ham? Turkey? An apricot in the stocking? Shortbread? Brandy cream? Trifle? BBQ? Seafood?

So tired today. Had to stay up until midnight to collect a saliva sample last night so of course didn’t get to sleep until after 1.30am.

Things I like to do include cooking, op shopping, watching cricket and my daughter has influenced me into enjoying F1 🤔
A lot of my mental space is taken up with being a solo Mum to a wonderful but busy 14 year old, running my own business and managing the mental load of T1 diabetes.

Going to move this question for #SecretSantaAoNZ forward a few days since it's come up.
What jewellery do you wear? Necklaces? Bracelets? Clip-ons or pierced earrings? Rings? Anklets? Arm bands? Gold? Silver? Pewter? Copper? Or plastic like Hoggle?

I’m not really a collector. But whimsical purchases might include: cookbooks, fancy drinking glasses - I love the vintage champagne coupe with hollow stems, ceramic art - both wall hanging and sculpture.
Question time #SecretSantaAoNZ
What do you collect? If you were a dragon what would you hoard?

I like all colours really, I don’t have a particular favourite. However, I stick for neutrals to wear.
Today's question for #SecretSantaAoNZ
Especially great for all the crafting Santas we're blessed with when they're sleuthing.

#SecretSantaAoNZ hints: coffee, cricket, dark chocolate, tea (but nothing minty or green). Love a nice pen and notebooks are always handy. My teen daughter has influenced me into becoming an F1 fan recently 🤔

My daughter’s team won their netball final today. I’ve managed them this season and they are the nicest bunch of girls. I have no idea how parents of top sportspeople do it because it was very stressful!

Everything on this list, except I generally prefer dark chocolate as being a T1 diabetic it’s easier to dose insulin.
Also did you know that chocolate is not a good treatment if a T1 diabetic is having a hypo (low blood sugar)…

Either. Love a warm fuzzy sock in the evening in winter. Size 8W.
We have some crafty people around and we have some people who love a good pair of socks.
So #MWSecretSantaAoNZ are you a socks or slippers person? And if Santa wanted to know, what size are they buying or making?
