How to Cut Up a Turkey

If it wasn’t enough that we were thinking that we were being restricted to seeing only 2 other families over Christmas, that has now been restricted further, with some families in tier 4 now unable to mix with anyone else on Christmas Day. This leaves some people with a massive turkey that they now have to eat on their own or just with a small number of family members. So if you need help with how to cut up a turkey – here it is!

What to Buy People for Christmas and Birthday Presents

So we often struggle to know what to buy people for Christmas or for their birthdays. Coming up with gift ideas can be a tricky thing at the best of times. Well there is a possible solution that will help you out if you are stuck for ideas.

Most people (well I guess maybe only in a certain age group – you may struggle with the older generation) will be users of Amazon. And as you may know yourself, Amazon have a service called ‘wish list’. You can add things to your own wish list for other people to buy for you but the great thing is that if you want to find out what to buy someone, you can search their own wishlist. You can find an Amazon wishlist either by searching with the person’s name or with their email address. if they have a unique name then this can be easy enough to do but if they have a common name then that may not be a great way to search. So, best bet is to use their email address.

Once you have found a wishlist for someone you can see when they put stuff on their wishlist, so it may be better to buy them something that they have added recently so that there is less likelihood that they have already bought it for themselves and forgotten to take it off their wishlist.

The other great thing is that if you buy something through their wishlist then it is then removed from the list so that if someone else goes to look at their list it is no longer on there so they do not get duplicate presents.

Both Amazon US and Amazon UK have the wishlist service and you can check them out here:

Cheap Turkey

Well Christmas is upon us again and the majority of households will probably be eating turkey for their christmas dinner. However, when times are hard as they are for a lot of people right now, one question people might be asking is where to buy a cheap turkey?

Turkey can be quite expensive to buy and if you want a free range or farm turkey then you can be paying tens of pounds for a quality bird. But there are some cheaper options available and one of those is to get a frozen turkey as that can often be a good way of getting a cheap turkey.

Iceland have plenty of options for buying cheap turkey and so that would be my recommendation if you are in the UK. You can buy a turkey breast joint for as little as £6 upwards or even a whole turkey for £8 which will serve 4 to 6 people. They have plenty of other frozen joints too which will be great for a Christmas meal for the family.

So you don’t have to break the bank for Christmas this year if you get down to Iceland for cheap turkey before they sell out!

Every year technology gets better and toys become more and more like real pets. With the FurReal puppy your child can play with a lovely furry friend that will not poop or need taking for walks. Instead they can talk to it, give it a toy and play with it and still have great fun.

The great thing about this puppy is that it will always stay as a puppy and never grow up so it will stay as cute as ever!
