    Come on people, get voting. We can win this for our BB :T
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    We've washed, disposed of all the rubbish within and vacuumed out the cars this morning!
    kids are hot & bored and driving each other crazy!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Stick them in a bath of iced water - they'll be so shocked they'll shut up (worked on me and my brother when we were younger:o )

    thankyou spud and everyone for still voting - it means a lot to me. Even my ex asks when I go an get Charlie - is he still second??! He doesn't have internet access and is kicking himself for not getting some of the kids at his school to vote before term ended.

    I'm boiling potatoes and making a mince/gravy filling for a cottage pie at the moment. Thought if I do it now then I can just pop it in the oven later and do some peas with it.

    I have a funny feeling though my OH might take advantage of the weather and also being at football practice today and have a few lagers meaning he probably won't be in any fit state to eat anything and will just fall asleep.
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    At least stuff like that can be portioned up and frozen easily.
    I think we'll be bbqing today!

    Isn't it too warm out there in the real world to be boiling and cooking things up???

    phew, I know Lucifa :( It's done now though, at least it just bubbled away on its own, I didn't have to do anything to it. I've just mashed the potatoes and I'll pop it all in the fridge when it's cooled.

    I'm making iced tea, even boiling the kettle for that seemed wrong:rotfl:

    bean soup in the sc though, I'll probably freeze it for when the weather is cooler - November? Or next week?

    AQA is a bit quiet - can't get into a rhythmn of answering lots of questions in a row to bring in the pennies.
