- quick question, how did the cost work out? is it MSE?

I'm pretty certain they'll come in comparable if not less than, say, Richmond sausages. I'll work out the costings tomorrow. But I'm now exhausted! The second lot of sausages took seconds to prep than ages to skin! I couldn't work out what was wrong. In the end, I think it's science - because I hadn't cleared the nozzle bit after the first lot, some sort of vacuum must have been created and the second mixture just wouldn't go through. Took me flipping ages to work out why!

But the second lot is done and I'm now about to cook the first. I think we're having a late dinner! :rotfl:I will do them with mash and, just for you fly_f, onion gravy. But, you'd better get here in the next 20 minutes!

awh thanks you lovely people - I HAD to do it as I would have felt I was letting the side down - now I know you lot wouldnt have seen it like that but it was what spurred me on - so I couldnt have done it without the thread - I cannot remember NOT having ironing it s been that long!

Toots, you know perfectly well that we would have made your life unbearable if you had committed to the challenge and failed! Hopefully you will now rethink your criteria as to what you should and shouldn't iron... and try to keep it under control

I hope you haven't overdone things. Ironing is hard work, and you need to remember that you're not superwoman ...

jjef... technically, yes, you do now have less to do in 2009... but I'm sure it won't feel like it!

Now... do I find a DVD and end up going to bed late, or do some more flying and go to bed at a sensible time? I'm tempted to go to bed NOW, but that seems a bit pathetic...

soappie = well done with the sausages, they do look good please update us with taste & price..

Right.. food scarfed..

Fishy has a house.. a fake Dory friend and a new pump.. YAY bubbles he says! I didn't get him any friends like I promised him as they were all furry and I have had enough mouldy fish I don't need to buy them when they are sick!

Bunnies are cleaned out and have a willow ring, a new water bootle (which they hate as they cannot throw it off) and some nice munchies!

I have a new bathmat.. VERY snazzy! .. Have to clean the bath though.

I got some strawberry pot pourri ('I think it's a kind of soup' Mr Grinch) and some black and white ceramic bolls for the middle room.

I got wrapping paper.. birthday stuff.. and.... A new mattress cover.. No more under-sheet neebs bugging me!.. I'll wash the bedding tomorrow and put it on then!

My youngest cousin was born yesterday and my oldest cousin is 40 today!!!!!!

My mother asked me if I am going out.. but my knee is killing me so I may just scarf some ibuprofen and go to bed... after a slob in the bath (hubby wants to go for a blob)... oooh decisions decisions!

Well done to everyone with an empty ironing basket!!!!!!!

soappie I am still jealous of your chef but I think what's also important when pricing is price for quality, they'll not be as cheap as richmond but they will be much better quality, not rusk and junk in!

DS2s glued to Don't Forget the Lyrics, it's the celeb special and Cerys Matthews is on who he likes, so he's quiet, well ok not quiet as he's trying to sing along but he's happy, DS1s gone to bed for the 20th time.

I've been avoiding doing anything constructive... and have therefore worked out that if I keep overpaying my mortgage at the rate I am (assuming rates stay down at the current level, which is unlikely!), I'll have paid it off in 5 years! It makes me feel old ...

... I'll obviously have to move soon

Or I could take up the challenge and see whether I can pay it off :rolleyes: but then again, maybe I should get out more
