That was my initial thought OJK. Shall ask the children what they prefer, I think I have some pudding rice somewhere so could always make rice pudding and do what I usually do with leftover chicken.

I've got one of those really annoying evenings. DS starts Beavers at 5.30pm, then I need to pick him up and drop DD1 off at Cubs at 6.45pm. Then my brother needs dropping off at football at 8pm, DD1 needs collecting at 8.15pm and then brother needs collecting at 9pm! So it's going to be a late night for the children unless I can see if someone from football is travelling back this way so he can have a lift home. I hate nights like this when Mr G is at work. Usually my brother isn't with us but it's unlucky he's here and needs taking places the same night that it's the 2-10 shift!

Got back from town just before 2pm (amazing queues at Bank, PO and Building Soc!) Went to Sainsburys and got Cathedral Cheddar on BOGOF, also chocolate for top of next 3 Tunis Cakes at 2 for £1.50 - bit extravagant I know but its their own brand Belgian Choc - nomnomnom and yes, I AM resisting it (at the moment, anyway;) ). Got the grease filters and some heavy duty descaler, also birthday card for soon-to-be-nine grandson. Found marzipan fruits in Woolworths for top of Tunis Cakes - saves me a job as my talents definitely DO NOT lie in that direction:D !

Grabbed a bit of lunch, finished a few more things on the list and then DH phoned - "could you clear out the larder cupboard and paint it inside". Not a big job.....the larder cupboard is a wall mounted one, about the same size as a standard kitchen cupboard but constructed in the gap where the Ancient Boiler used to sit, so it is actually a very shallow cupboard. So now my kitchen is disrupted again, hey ho!


Have cleaned paint off hands/brush/face (don't ask!) and thought I'd try to catch up with you all...........it is sooo cold out today, and there is a lazy wind blowing! Have just cat-nipped the puddas and they are completely spaced out (still not absolutely sure who did that furball though:rolleyes: ). Will make a cuppa and settle down to read.

I have stripped the room down and filled a wheele bin. OMG did it need doing and it looks so much better now that it is done. Although saying that I have hiden some things as I was getting too tierd I know that they are waiting for me but hey the room looks nice.

I am still in a bad mood, but getting there slowly. Picked my DD up from school at 3:15 then 15 minutes later dropped her at the salvation Army lol so me gets a bit longer to my self.

I am chilling on the sofa at the moment, think I deserve it lol

ojk good luck for tomorrow, my friends mum had a similar 'not set straight' problem and had surgery to straighten and reset, have they offered you that?
Mudbath I have found out my LL is moving back up here early next year, so far doesn't want this house back but I know I need to prepare just incase so keeping a foot in the door with the agents
Lady-liberty I wouldn't pay that, I'd do them myself if it was £11 a time!

Listening to pre budget report, some is ok but some is making me grrrr!
Good bits so far free debt advice, decrease vat - but should be for longer

DP in a pain of a mood but luckily he's going out at 5pm so peace!

This morning Iwas discharged from hospital (outpatients) after smashing my knee back in jULY...it has healed okay but my leg is not straight so I will walk with a limp for the rest of my life and it is agony at the moment as it is freezing....(can actually see snow on the mountians out the back window)..

Oh poor you. My DH suffers in the cold from various rugby-related injuries. Any sort of injury you do when you are younger always comes back to haunt you later in life. :rolleyes: You should try moving somewhere hot and sunny (and I dragged my DH from somewhere hot and sunny to come and live somewhere cold, wet and windy. He hasn't forgiven me :rolleyes:)

I'm all excited because I recently signed up to the on-line banking thingy with my bank - and I have printed off a statement so I can see exactly how much we have gone into the overdraft :rolleyes:. Ok, ok, it's no big deal, but heck it's progress for me :rotfl:

Ok I need to make tea, I have some left over chicken, milk dated the 22nd so needs using in food as it's a bit too creamy for my coffee and various other bits. But I really need to use the milk! Any ideas?

Getting through the kitchen very slowly!

Chicken in white sauce

Pasta cheese sauce with chicken

chicken pie

savoury pancakes (milk into pancakes, white sauce, chicken and fridge scrapings)

HTH

Well done you on the kitchen :T
