Switch it on now, and cook it, no need to throw away, and it will cook overnight and you can chill and heat it once tomorrow. Alternatively, unless you home is megga hot, just switch it on in the morning, that's what I do.

Decided to go to Mr T's this afternoon for enough to keep us going till the end of the month apart from spuds and fruit.

OH has had 2 dizzy's today so I am a bit cheesed off. I am very tired as well, fell asleep reading on the settee for 2 hours when I got back from Tesco. I need to have some serious rest now the house is getting there. Not a lot to do, but the windows are so big the frames take ages to clean and believe me they are filthy. Wish I could afford to pay someone to come and do the work.

MSD - we know where the stop tap is, the loopy person who fitted the kitchen has fitted the cupboard over the top of it, the only way we can get to it is to cut a blooming great hole in the base of the unit, its seized on, the chap tried to turn it off by reaching under the kick plate, but could not get leverage on it........ no way would Severn Trent cut our bill even though they waste millions of pounds worth of water every year through not repairing leaks, as I know from previous experience!!!

I could cry! I tried a new recipe in my slow cooker, prepared everything this morning, set the timer and then forgot to turn it on at the wall! My OH just called to tell me now. So not only do I not have dinner but it's going to all have to be binned to boot.

Nooo! Cook it now and reheat for tomorrow's meal or freeze. Beans on toast tonight though;)

Hello everyone - hope you are all having a nice evening.

O/S - Having leftover Tuna Noodle Bake for tea tonight with some 15pence organic baguette that I bought. Also got 2 almond croissants, 2 cheese twists and 4 strawberry and white chocolate muffins for 15 pence each - a good bargain!! lol WM, DW have been on today although washing is taking ages to dry because of the wierd weather! Vegetable plants from seeds are growing well in the spare bedroom might plant some into pots at the weekend.

Found a nice walk to take the dogs on this evening which was good, nice to get out after all day in the office.

OH still doesn't have a job - hoping to hear about the interview he went to last Thursday but we went away for the long weekend and the guy was not in the office today but had tried to phone our landline but left no message - is going to ring OH tomorrow so fingers crossed.

Going to watch tv in a bit and have a look on this site for a bit.

Hugs to everyone who needs them.

Have a nice evening.

Evening all
Lol, I don't think so Diva, but I was quite proud of myself.
The kindness of the people on this forum never ceases to amaze me, I have been offered some jewelery findings & I am so grateful.
The lodgers been walked for the 2nd time today, the grass has been mowed & now I shall put my feet up for a while & read a book, Spill the Beans by Clarissa Dickson Wright.
Have a good evening all
Hugs Hester

Hi everyone!

hope you have all had a good day, been to see my friend today with her newborn baby girl born on Monday, she was sooooo cute but I'm not broody!!!

today I have just sorted out my bank accounts and updated everything plus planned our shopping budget for the month. Yesterday we had a great time at the market, found a cracking fruit and veg stall with some great offers, like a huge bag of grapes for 70p (that would have cost me about £2.50 in Tesco), 2 packs of plums for 50p, a huge bag of mushrooms for 60p and they had huge bags of apples (braeburns, granny smiths etc) at least 12 in a bag for £1!!! I was completely astonished, none of it was 'past it's best' either, the graoes are really crunchy and fresh so I am now a convert to market shopping!

I am now going to make some dough to rise overnight to bake in the morning for fresh bread and planning to bake tomorrow to stock up on goodies, kids have gone through loads while they have been off school

Have a tip to offer - https://www.greenmetropolis.com - they do 2nd hand books for 3.75 - you can sell and buy on there - brilliant titles too. Ive had some spiritual/spooky books recently at a third of price.
