Is my flat odd?
We just made a complete christmas dinner as we were stuck for anything to do tonight.
The turkey was one of the semi-done cook in an hour jobbys, but everything else was propper. It all seems too civilised for uni (except for the minor scuffle when the guys from the flat across from us tried to climb in the window and nick our plastic santa).
*burp*

I forgot to mention.
Xmas dinner (turkey, 4 veg, roast potatoes, 2 types of stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, some nice sticky chocolate cake, some after eight mints and even some crackers & parteh poppers) grand total: £4.50 each (there's 6 of us).
BEAT THAT!

I cooked christmas dinner (with a little bit of help) for my house/flat last monday for around £2.50 a head (discounting drink) which i didn't think was bad...we had turkey (the biggest that would fit in our miniscule oven, and it was a "bit" of a squash), mashed and roast (well, slightly charred) potatoes, yorkshire puddings (don't fecking ask), sprouts, carrots, stuffing (microwaved, no oven space ) and apple sauce (same person who wanted yorkshire puddings...)
There were meant to be 4 of us cooking (out of 12) which would have been ok. One was ill (fair enough), one had to play football (not an important game or anything, just a kickabout...grr) and the other guy did help, but was about as much use as a very un-useful thing being particularly un-useful
Amen

I didn't cook.
I washed up.
My standard "evening meal" at uni goes like this:
* Some kind of pre-prepared meat from the freezer (usually whatever's been on offer at the local sainsburies) - today it was Chargrilled Chicken.
* Oven chips
* Some easy to prepare veg (baked beans, frozen peas, etc).
* Something chocolatey afterwards (ie. a couple of twixes or summat)
Trust me, there's no need to bugger about with "proper" cooking. It's can be slightly cheaper, but equally it can sometimes be more expensive (especially if you buy some mince, for example, use some of it, then forget about it for 2 weeks - oops).
One thing. Don't slide to microwave meals. They're expensive, they looks like sheit, and they don't taste much better either.
What I said above takes about 20 mins to prepare, which is fine by me.
If I'm feeling especially lazy I just buy a refrigerated thin 'n crispy pizza (cooks in 8 mins).

Forgot to mention.
Line up a nice episode of some series you like to watch while you eat. Perfection.
I'm working my way through 24 atm (which I have on DVD. I'm up to disc 5 of 6). If your uni has some kind of unofficial fileshare network like ours (a Direct Connect hub here, with about 6Tb of data and rising) you'l be able to find all sorts of stuff. We've got the complete set of all the Friends shows, the same for Futurama, and for Scrubs, pretty much all the Simpsons episodes, etc etc.
Given that it downloads at about 700k/sec, you can have a 30 min episode of something in about 3 minutes, and a full movie in 15.
Who needs blockbuster?

B*astards..heh,cant afford to live on campus,hence no DSL line
I have to pay for things such as films and dvd's and a TV Cable heh.
Good idea with the whole christmas dinner though...think I may leave it till it's actually christmas,it's one of the few things that makes christmas day bearable for me.
Must try to win myself a Turkey and Ham in all these christmas draw's and card games that are going on...
Although I'd then have to buy a pot the cook the giant ham in..
(Plus I think I'd be eating Turkey and Ham sandwitches for about 4 months after)
Maybe I'll give it a miss then heh

I thought so.
For all those "i'm waiting for xmas" people, it wasn't that we wanted xmas dinner so desperately that we simply had to have it early - we just wanted to do summat "nice" before we all went home (I go tomorrow, everyone else has gone) and that seemed like a good idea.
