Hi, thanks for your replies. I ended up deciding on cooking my own turkey and a silverside the day before and then slicing it to add cold to the the table. I'm also doing a potato salad that I'm going to make christmas morning with no egg mayo. I checked with my midwife and she told me to avoid Ham off the bone if I could because it contains a smoking preservative called Sodium Nitrate or 250 but if I really wanted to on the day a slice or 2 would be ok but nothing more than that and it had to be sliced that day, so I'm going to really enjoy that slice of ham, lol. Although hubby & I have been together for years this is our first christmas as a married couple so I'm really looking forward to it. I hope that everyone else has a magical christmas.

Best Wishes
Sharon
