    hope you manage to get the car "free" soon - how frustrating! I think perhaps I am glad I live in a town - at least I haven't had those kind of problems. The view here is worse tho!

    Think more of a chocolate flavoured sponge. Chaps haven't put the nags out but thrown some hay and feed at them. Makes life a bit easier. Got some letters written that I've been putting off doing and done a tiny bit more on Sage. Really could do with going on a course as I'm sure there are quicker ways of doing stuff.

    Having risotto for tea. Should be enough left for lunch tomorrow. Trying to snow again, but only a little bit.

    Taxi, hugs to you, we will probably have some before long.

    Beanie, onions, tomatoes, arborio rice and peppers and a handful of peas and stock.

    Just won £20 on the scratchies, have withdrawn so hope it goes through.

    Well done! I won £20 earlier in the week and withdrew without a problem, so I am sure you will be fine!

    Risotto is great for using up whatever is lurking in the fridge......one remaining sausage, bit of leftover chicken....half a shrivelled pepper.....you name it, it gets bunged in.....! Very MSE!!
