Brilliant, I'm going to put Bach's in everything from now on :rotfl:

garlic?

the_cat

cumin, corriander and curry powder?
Or maybe try liquidising 1/2 of the soup to help the flavours 'mingle'?

I'd just stick a few extra veg stock cubes in or a boquet garni.Love that in my soup

Janey I'd try a little bit more salt (if not banned for medical reasons) as it's a flavour enhancer. If you go the stock cube route those will add the needed salt

Best to all who are down today. Me too due to my discount SVR mortgage not having dropped it's rate (yet, I am still optimistic as it's with the co-op). Put heat on for 4 hours today and all day yesterday. I find it really hard to warm up once I get cold, and need to take a hot bath or shower or sit with my back to the radiator in order to get up to temp again. Does this happen for anyone else?

Thanks guys. I'm feeling a little better today I know what's bothering me, I just have to sort it out. but thanks for caring. xx

Today hasn't been a NSD, as I was craving chocolate whilst at work. oh well, wasn't a big expense. I'm going christmas shopping, for bits and bobs tomorrow, so that won't be a NSD either. Ah well! Still think I'm doing quite well with the budget
Hope eveyone is okay. xx

I'm laughing hysterically at bf's attempt at idiot proof instructions about how to find his house. I've never seen such beautifully annotated googlemaps before, with different symbols for each roundabout and everything. He really must have been bored at work today :rotfl:

Just hope I don't still manage to get lost when I visit him on Friday....

Cheeeeers

A-ha so he is officially BF now Lynda! :T Have got your PM, just need to get the info from OH and I'll PM you x

Glad you're feeling a bit better SF and hope you can sort out whatever it is x

Any luck with the soup Janey?
