You might think I'm joking BUT - picked up the turkey from the butcher's yesterday having asked for a 12-13lb one with the legs removed and boned. It looks awfully small!! 
Our butcher can usually be relied upon to give one more rather than less - not this time!!
Weighed it with all the bones and gubbins (fab word!!) - it struggled in at just over 11lb. There are 12 of us on Christmas Day and 6/8 on Boxing Day. I've cooked a gammon for Boxing Day as well but DH is now hurtling round the shops hunting for a turkey crown!! The red cabbage looks rather sparse too!
And I thought I was well organised!!
