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!
...Linda xxIt'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.0 -

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.

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???26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

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?0 -
I'm just finishing some lemon sorbet - very yummy.
AQA is a bit quiet - can't get into a rhythmn of answering lots of questions in a row to bring in the pennies.
