    I've been verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry norty..................

    Went to a wonderful farm shop on the edge of Poole this afternoon and bought some lush stuff - including a 100ml 'shot' of fig flavoured vodka......it's a big place, a bit commercial, but to a foody it's like the seagulls in Nemo...........

    Spent wayyyyyyyyy to much and really had to be determined to leave when I did (and not be tempted to buy the strawberry and lime vodka or the champagne truffle liquer!)

    Saying that though, the chicken should be lovely and the beef shin should be really tasty. A few things though were no more expensive than the supermarket (but only a few - ahem).

    OH NO...you haven't been there again have you! ;) I think you spent lots on beef the last visit wasn't it :D . Keep me away as I can't resist farm shops at the best of times!

    hush, sally, hush.........I'm trying to forget!!!!!

    I'm going to roast the chicken tonight and have some of it with beetroot and spring onion bread I bought and butter and I bought some cheese called 'windswept cow' - should be an experience! Should have bought some lettuce and tomatoes now I come to think of it........and oh, my god, you should see the bag of frozen fruits I bought - you scoop them into a bag - strawberries, cherries, mango and different coloured melon balls.........

    Hmmmmmmmmm especially as I am on some wierd mixture with pasta tonight.

    Elantan _ I will actually be getting most of this stuff from M&S as due to my size (22/24) I find it difficult to buy formal work stuff and there is a suit at £26!

    Have to say Jinks - the beef shin was really well priced - I bought nearly 2 pounds of it for £4 odd and it was beef reared on their farm etc. I'll make a casserole at the weekend and freeze the leftovers - or share with you jinks if you can hop down here for dinner at the weekend!

  • I write a sodding message and it bloody well goes and dies...grr!

    Not been on for a couple of days - have been spending it with the BF ;) As a result I have done little AQA work but, wait for it, I have got myself a little bar job - I start Monday!

    Would I be right in thinking that Burlesque Babe was once my favourite breakfast cereal; special K? *cryptic*
