    nHi folks,

    I'm not sure ordering new oven lights, which have not turned up was a good idea.

    They are installed and work, to which OH says, 'I thought you and your flylady mates, did oven cleaning'
    Me:- yes when it is the list.
    OH:- well you are not doing a very good job!, you can see in there now and look!!!:mad:

    Gues who is cooking his own dinner tonight?? :TI might remove bed room rights tonight as well! grrrr :rotfl:


    When my OH moaned about a window being mucky (which it was TBH) the conversation went like this

    Valli 'Is it bothering you?'
    KH 'yes'
    Valli (going to cupboard for cloth and cleaner) 'Well it's not bothering ME so I suggest YOU clean it' (hand cleaning tackle to KH)

    Please note KH has been gone for 6 years now ;) :rotfl:

    I clean the oven when it is on the list, clearly I didn't deep clean it enough at the back, but I only have short arms, and find it hard to reach the back.

    A linky is too complicated for me :o, so I've cut and pasted it from the grocery challenge thread.

    Just so I'm not 'stealing' credit, this was originally posted by Scotsaver in January 2009:

    TUNA LASAGNE

    1 tin of Tuna
    1 Tin Chopped Tomatoes
    Prawns (I used a small tub of fresh from Lidl but you could use a couple of handfuls of Frozen and leave them to thaw)
    2 Handfuls Spinach
    2 Handfuls of Sweetcorn
    Few splashes of Lemon Juice
    Lasagne Sheets
    Salt & Pepper

    Cheese sauce made with 1oz Butter, 1oz Flour, half pint of milk and 4oz Cheddar

    Wash the Spinach and tear into pieces, place in a bowl. Drain the tin of tuna and add to the bowl together with the prawns,tomatoes,sweetcorn, lemon juice and then season with salt and pepper. Make the cheese sauce. Put some of the Tuna mix in the bottom of a Lasagne dish and layer alternately until you have used all the mix ending with Lasagne sheets then our over the Cheese sauce. Cook at 180 degrees for 30 - 40 mins.

    _______________________________________________________

    I missed out the sweetcorn as kids don't like it, also I grated a little bit of cheese over the top. Oh, and I used frozen spinach as that was all I had.

    Please feel free to provide me with Linky instructions (I can cut and paste thread titles, but doesn't take you to the right post iyswim)

    If you click on the post number count, on the right hand corner of the post, that gives you the link for that specific post, then you can do your normal Linky malarky :)

    But how do you type over the words with different words - when I do that, the link disappears?

    I have used my grumpiness to do some research.. and have found some research on how vinegar, washing up liquid and bleach are just as effective (if not more) at killing swine flu germs as the expensive baby/flu/toddler antebacterial wipe stuff

    Enjoy!
