I dont know if its really advice but more a little tip :)

When you think of a roast dinner you may think of standing there all day getting it ready and cooking it right?

Well I am currently cooking a roast while sitting here typing this up!

I remember being at home and when mum would do a roast it would seem to take her all day hehe. When I moved in with my boyfriend he said he was going to do one, I thought yeah ok i could see him doing all that work, But no he had a very easy way of doing it! And its almost as good as mums (nothing is ever better then mums hehe)

Anyway this is what you do, Get your roasting pan (we have a big black one) put about a inch to a inch and 1/2 of water in the bottom (looks like a lot)

Then put your roast in the middle (in the water, trust me)

Then chop up your potatos (you dont even have to skin them if you dont want to, just make sure they are washed if you dont peel them) Put them around your roast (you can also add carrots or sweet potato if you want, and depending on how big your roasting pan is)

Then place in oven for how ever long the roast takes to cook (usualy says on packing otherwise google it, google solves everything hehe)

Then chop up vegies (we usualy have cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussle sprouts (yuck hehe), carrot) Put them in a big sausepan (or a couple depending on how much you have) and 1/2 a hour before your roast is ready, put them on to boil (you can adjust the time for more or less squishyness)

When your vegis are finished DONT THROW AWAY THE WATER!!!! Use it to make gravy (we use the instant gravy that you just add boiling water, the vegi water)

Then plate up :)

If you get a big roast on specal these can be cooked up then the left overs can be used the next night for a different meal eg Chicken we use for carbonara, Pork can be a stur fry etc.

I hope this helps you enjoy more roasts!!!
