fay if you get a slowcooker go for a 6.5 litre one - makes enough for 3/4 people for tea with enough to freeze for another day:D 2 days meals sorted with very little effort.

OH hates celery - I chuck it in all the stews and tell him it is leeks:rotfl:

Well ive got most things done!!
Andan well done on the test result! Brill grades, im starting on the revision for 2 hours before bed. Then ill do some more tomo evening after work.
I have had a slighty spending day. You guys will be proud of me!!
I got some make up, which i never buy, but only coz there was a 3 for 2 deal in superdrug plus a voucher for a free item. So i got 4 lovely make up things for the price of 2!! I spent £5 there! And about £6 in tescos. I did get more freebies today though guys! Free posh shampoo and conditioner form the cheap magazine deals...a free multipack crsps from asda and free choc advent calendar form superdrug! Plus 2 free supermarket magazines to read tomo at work....what a great day there! the tescos shopping will do me dinner tonight and tomo see.
Sophiesmum – coolies on the boots, we all deserve treats! And good for the winter, its meant to snow here in London tomo, not looking forward to driving in it at 5am!
Tomo at work is overtime for me, but not getting paid, will use the time for extra leave in 2009!
Hows everyone else day gone?

How did I ever manage before my slow cooker? Made huge batch of spag boll sauce with 3/3 of two packs of mince (3 for £10.00 in Tesco). Use red pesto this time - yum! this made four family sized portion for freezer (also made vege boll for vege daughter). Sherd pie (family joke from dyslexic friends recipte for Shephards Pie) with remaining 1/3 and used 50p swedes (special) with potato for mash topping - separate batch for vege daughter. Three batches of washing drying on rack (did not dry outside as too cold). Cleaned bathroom with stardrops and vinegar (brilliant cleaner). Checked bank account. Sourced cheap TV from Aldi (tomorrow) for daughter`s bedroom. Defrosted homemade curry and sag aloo fo tonight to have with rest of leftover rice (husband thought we were feeding the road, seemingly, two days ago).
Did not write letter to council or do reports for work - major black mark.
