  • jjef Thanks for that, I really hope it works for you. (no reason why it shouldn't I hasten to add!!)

    I had to really think hard about writing it though, as I've never had a written down recipe for it IFSWIM

    Let me know if you like it! :D

    Beef patties today! I've never made them before, but I luuurrrvvve them!

    Pigpen hope your lurgy has been suitably beaten into submission!!!!

    Dragged myself to work this morning. Feeling a lot better than yesterday. Just weak from hunger. I could eat a for England today, but then I'd make myself poorly again so guess I'll just stick to some toast for lunch. Managed a couple of bananas for breakfast but they really don't fill you up do they:rolleyes:

    So far today I've been to work and sold everything on my van again:j
    Tidied the kitchen, wiped the surfaces, put a load of washing on and poo patrolled the garden (yuk)

    Off to find my list and hopefullly a little get up and go. If not, Valli can you send me a bit of yours please;)

    Hi Tag - I am glad to be back!!! Nice to hear you are feeling a bit better - I am being nosey - what do you sell???
