    Evening all:hello:
    Well it was an early start today when one of the cats decided to be sick on our bed, usually door closed so they stay downstairs but they always try it to see if it is snecked. Fortunately wI as able to whip the duvet cover off before any harm was done to the duvet itself.
    Went to Mother’s as her hairdresser was due and got her to give me a trim too. Then did my first real non-food shop since Christmas. Went to Next Outlet store and timed it really well as they were just putting out a delivery of mainly coats and jackets. Spent £55 (which included a £20 gift card I received as a Christmas present) and the value of clothes bought was £657! Managed to buy several birthday presents. Didn’t I do well? (the haul included £9 leather jacket, original price £150!)
    Just been reading some of Twink’s Hobnob thread – 68 pages! Wonder how many hobnobs have been made since the thread was started.
    Hope everyone has had a good day and hugs to those who have needed them.

    Well done you. Sounds really yummy.

    I really want to make a nice chunky soup / casserole too but havent a clue where to start if i am honest. Even better if i can make it in our slow cooker.

    Well done, relynutz :T - consider yourself well and truly initiated :D.

    Seriously though, I well remember my first successful soup and the wonderful feeling of elation that I felt of making 'something' out of 'almost nothing' - so liberating!

    You go girl!

    Well done. Feels good doesn't it? :)

    The thing I love about soup is that you can use whatever you have handy. Add some nice bread and you've got a filling meal.

    This is a quickie for me. My puter still has the trojan and it appears to be in the registry - my puter keeps sticking and I have typed this message 3 times now and lost it due to having to reboot. Trying to download new anti virus software but if that fails - will have to wipe and start again.

    Diva - Look on the Techie Forum on here, they are very helpful, usually though for trojans and the like they recommend MALWAREBYTES, it's free download run and clean.

    (((hugs))) re Tristan and Treacle.

    Where do I start, I think I will just offer ((hugs)) to all as they seem to be well needed at the moment, I hope you are all feeling better soon.
