Well, earlier this week I shared with you the New Year’s Eve Bubbly that my mum and I served up at our girls’ party; now I present to you the weenie portion of the party (of course there was a weenie dish!).

Now you have something for next time!
Mmm – they look SCRUMPTIOUS! I am tempted to nip out of work and get me a Gregg’s Sausage Roll right now!
