    Hi folks,

    Well had another NSD yesterday so that is 10/15. :beer:

    I wont managed another one today as having lunch in work today.

    Went to the gym last night and had a good workout, feeling tired this morning though. Off to badminton training tonight.

    I made a lovely chicken casserole overnight in the slow cooker, the smells coming from the kitchen this morning when I got up were fantastic. Hoping to have some for my tea tonight.

    Managed another 2x10p on the scratchcards this morning.

    It is lovely day here today, I really need to get back into the garden, but work calls. :mad:

    MF - I'm sorry if this is a silly question but why do you use your slow cooker overnight? What do you do with the hot food first thing in the morning?

    I often use mine but during the day so the food is ready at night when I get in from work?

    Hi folks,

    Managed another NSD yesterday, so that is 11/15. Hopefully should make my target for this month. :beer:

    Mrs P:- It is not a silly question, it is just that in the morning I sometimes dont have time to get stuff prepared and ready, or I am just too lazy. I do set it off in the morning sometimes.

    So I set it off overnight and then in the morning once the food is ready I put one portion in the fridge for tea that night and freeze the rest as batches for the week.
