That’s my plan too. Pretend I’ve got loads to do so the mrs can entertain my mother and I get a bit of peace in the kitchen.

You need to mix the custard thicker than the instructions say or it won’t set. If you use Birds custard powder think it’s 2 heaped tablespoons for a pint normally but for trifles we make 1.5 pt with 4 tablespoons of custard powder to make it thicker.
