Washing in the TD/airer/rads. Not doing any more until I catch up with some more ironing, may do some with Noel later on.

Jo, Camarthen was wet and windy and as we stay on a farm and the field we stay on is used for the sheep in the winter it was also full of sheep s***!!!!!

will wait now till Easter half term till we go again. I went down to clean the inside of the caravan, but we actually made it worse!!!!

Not acutally managed to do anything off my lists so far grr! :mad:
Had a wonderfull morning at soft play with dd, we where then invited back to a friends house for lunch (free food? yes please :j ) So got home late dd is now fast asleep upstairs, and I just managed to wake her making a cuppa:eek: she's gone back down now so thats my cleaning out of the window until she wakes up from her slumber, (daren't wake her, she's teething and waking at 6.00am as it is!) may chuck the highchair in the kitchen and she can eat in there whilst I give it a clean.

I have dinner in the slow cooker on the keep warm setting, it's a lamb stew does anyone know if this will be ok until this evening about 7ish? or shall I turn it off? Also any ideas how to thicken it? I usally use gravy granuals when I'm doing it on the hob but I'm not sure if this will work in the sc, if anyone has any other ideas to thicken that would be great, not too keen on using gravy granuals when dd eats it aswell, due to the salt content

Hope everyone is having a more productive day than I am !!

Hi Nicki

Put your slow cooker on Auto - means it can be on for LONG periods of time without overcooking the food.

To thicken add breadcrumbs or a handfull of oats, or a handful of lentils, or some flour, or some cornflour. Any of those will do the trick really xx
