    Hi. All this talk of Veda & Tayto (which I had never heard of till now!) is making me hungry :D My 5 for today are:

    1. Washing on the line and is appearing to be nearly dry - amazing.

    2. Went food shopping this morning got some lovely fish from our local fab fish market.

    3. Had a long chat on the phone last night with a dear friend who I haven't seen for a while due to both our work/illness/family committments.

    4. DS2, DS3 & I bathed the dogs. Our newest one had obviously never been bathed before so we were all soaking wet & laughing hysterically by the end of it :D

    5. DH's appreciative comments whilst we were shopping regarding my ability to look after us all, feed us well and manage a sometimes tight budget.

    6. An extra one as I wouldn't be half as good at all the budgeting etc without this lovely board :A

    Parmo's are chicken (or pork) in breadcrumbs, topped with a very think white sauce with grated cheese all over....served with chips, creamed cabbage and garlic sauce and tasty anytime but particularly after a skinful of beer :D

    Now i'm hungry AND homesick!

    J x

    That sounds like quite the dealio! Do you cook the chicken in breadcrumbs or top with the sauce , add cheese, then cook? Creamed cabbage? Do you make garlic sauce?! PM me as i don't want to hijack this thread! :o
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

    Hi all

    Wow, new thread, I have been wondering whether the old one was getting a bit overloaded! Thank you thriftlady!

    Billy858 sorry to hear about your difficulties with your DD, I hope it gets resolved. (((HUGS)))

    Here are mine for the day:

    1 - First thing in the morning, up and made DH breakfast and packed lunch, then managed to get tonight's dinner on the cooker (leek and tatties soup, boiled sweetcorn). Now all I have to do it is warm it.

    2 - Planning to make a quick soda bread to go with soup, to use up my soya kefir.

    3 - Well well well today I have surprised myself. An Italian woman that I have met only a couple of times in the past emailed me the other day, she is expecting her first baby and wants me to be her doula. So I replied that I no longer work as a doula, gave her my friend's phone no, but agreed that I would go and visit her in a few days to have a chat about birth etc..., just informally. Well, I went today and she persuaded me to take her on for the birth of her baby! She really wants to birth in her own language and she is lovely, so I am glad I have "come out of retirement" for this one only, though!

    4 - Went to PO box for work and found a very large cheque for the organisation there, funding for 3 years for core services, unrestricted funds! Even though I am not planning to stay for much longer myself, it is good news as I really think that they do great work.

    5 - Planning to go and see Age of Stupid tonight with some friends.

    Good night all xxx
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).
  • Hi Caterina I have only just found out what a doula is. What an amazing idea! Wish I'd had one. Certainly must be a lovely job to do.

    Pleasures today

    1) Finally emailing OU assignment off. Goodness me, this one was difficult.
    2) Lunch (a very frugal one as you will see) with DH in a lovely little restaurant we used to frequent years ago. Two lattes, a bowl of dahl and chips and one of chicken tikka pieces. It was just lovely sitting there and watching the world go by.
    3) MIL and FIL brought the children back from their various activities and stopped for a cuppa.
    4) A thank you note from a friend and a chat on the doorstep before she wobbled off on her bike

    Can't think of a 5) but it's been a lovely day. Have a nice evening, everyone

    Back again. Caterina, many thanks for your kind words. After a very weepy day (me), DD1 has actually apologised for her terrible behaviour. Although I have accepted the apology, she was so hurtful I am struggling to act as if there is nothing wrong.
    Anyway I'm feeling better this evening so mine for today,
    1. Apology from DD1.
    2. DD2 making cookies - very tasty.
    3. Long (time out) walk with dog and bumping into a good friend somewhere unexpected.
    4. Free lunch courtesy of MIL - miracles do happen, I'm careful with money but she is a real tightwad!
    5. DH finishing work at 11am to come to lunch and to assist with DD1 situation.
    6. December issue of Ideal Home magazine & glass of wine (dreaming of Christmas).
    Love to all. X

    Here's my five for the day:

    1) Taking advantage of the lovely fruit and veg offers at the supermarket and coming back with a load of it to snack on instead of the usual crisps and chocolate.
    2) Feeling positive after doing some exercises this evening.
    3) Getting ready to alter my top to make a sorceress/vampire costume for Friday. I'm excited about it!
    4) Reading a bit more of a new book, and getting engrossed in it.
    5) My DH :)
