    Congrats Aunty jjef :)

    My baby girl just slipped and hit her chin on the edge of a coffee table and has cut her mouth :( Lots of blood and tears which have now both stopped as I'm giving her a feed. Ok have a smile now. Got blood smeared on her clear white fleece jumper though so wash in order I think.
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Oh yes, yes, yes. I love them:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
    I hate cooking. Occasionally I have a moment of inspiration and produce something wonderful. I can cook quite well, I just don't like doing it. Which drives DH mad. So that is why a slow cooker is my kind of cooking. Chuck it all in, switch it on, dinner sorted.

    I had a little 3.5 l one. But it's not big enough for four of us. DS eats as if there's no tomorrow:rolleyes: So I was chuffed when ex hubby asked if I wanted the bigger one back. Means I can do at least two meals at once and freeze one. My favourite is to chuck some lamb shanks in. Yummy!

    Fantastic to come home from work and have dinner already done.;)

    Ha - was thinking, with only three of us, that a small one...but maybe that won't be a good idea then. As my cooker timer is broken I can't ever have that coming on (I used to have casseroles and baked pots in) and since a new kitchen is a pipe dream maybe a slow cooker would be a good idea. Thanks.

    A small one would probably do you. You can get 4l and 5l ones I think. I wanted a bigger one as I thought if it's going on for that amount of time anyway I might as well kill two birds with one stone so to speak:D

    Well moving my list up and deleting what I am not going to do has done nothing for my get up and go. Think I might go back to bed for a bit. I'm sooooo tired.:o
