Roll Up! What Am I Bid? For Christmas Leftovers....

[Iluvspikey]

1 Cropwell Bishop Stilton in a jar (think hubby's forgotten this one, he must have had about 3lb of the stuff over the Christmas anyway!)
1 very meaty York Ham bone (Can't be @rsed to make soup)
1box unopened Turkish Delight, Rose & Lemon flavours
1 box After 8 mints (unopened)
1 tin of Fantail all-butter Scottish Shortbread
1 box sugared almonds (white, pink, yellow and peach colours)
I box Meltis Fruits
1 pack Pork, chestnut and lemon-thyme stuffing (use by 4th Jan, been frozen)
1 litre bottle Bailey's Biscotti flavour liqueur

Yes, they all sound lovely except for the sugared almonds, which I do not like. One of the most useless prizes I ever won, not that I have won many, was a box of sugared almonds, which remained in the pantry for ages before I managed to get rid of them by putting them on the coffee table for people to help themselves. Thank goodness other people liked them - I hate wasting things.

[Iluvspikey]

To be truthful Starbuckone, my sister-in-law bought them, she makes Wedding favours and such, I've got a feeling they were left over from an order...

Having put on a stone in the last couple of months (half of it during Xmas) I'll have give your offerings a miss.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It all sounds lovely. We havent got any left overs cos we didnt buy any.

[starone]

Economising is she iluvspikey? At least she is not wasting them. I hate waste in any form, although I realise recycling is not always possible.

[excelsior-1]

i'll take the lit, what would you like in exchange?

[excelsior-1]

[lit]?

lot

[dotty.]

how can anyone have shortbread left?????

[Iluvspikey]

Well dotty, you see I'd made some, hubby bought some and I won that hamper just before Christmas, that 's where this tin has come from. I'd got After 8 mints, but we had the Bendicks bittermint selection out of the hamper, the Meltis fruits I bought for my dad, but my mother had done the same and bought a box down too (he doesn't like chocolate you see) the Turkish Delight is from a neighbour, (too sweet for us) and the Baileys Dad bought not realising there are different flavours now.

[NoMercy]

Hate Turkish Delight. Hate shortbread. Hate sugared almonds.

I'll take the stuffing, please. £1.50?

[Prudie]

I'll take the ham bone as I love to gnaw on meat and the Turkish Delight. Most of the rest I've also got leftover. I'll offer in return an unopened box of Lindt chocs, a baby Xmas pud and some Xmas themed Yankee candles?

it's been after eight twice a day since Christmas... You aren't even trying

[Iluvspikey]

The hambone is really meaty, there must be at least 2 and a 1/2-3lb of succulent lean ham on it - it weighed 16lb to start!
Feelin generous, have what you like - help yourselves, just found an unopened tin of Quality Street, my festive napkins with the holly on them and a box of crackers (good ones, 'prizes' inside are small silver plated photo frame, tool kit, bottle stopper, torch key ring, lipstick holder with mirror and a big pound sign keyring) they were in the shopping trolley under the stairs, I'd hunted high and low for them too!

[ChillDoubt]

The very thought of the Bailey's Biscotti has me wretching....

[Iluvspikey]

chilldoubt - that's why it's unopened didn't appeal to any of us either!!

[murraymints]

what's Bailey's biscotti ?.

[Iluvspikey]

biscotti is a twice baked Italian biscuit.
Bailey's comes in Original, hint of mint chocolate, coffee, caramel, hazelnut, orange truffle, and biscotti flavours
