  • I use Tesco Healthy Choice chicken pieces. Put everything in this morning at 8am on Auto setting. I'll be dishing it up with rice (boil in the bag) at about 5.30pm.

    Have to be honest, I cook most of my meals in the SC when Mr FH is away. :o It's so much easier than stressing about preparing food when I get home. Even on my non-working days I'm usually out in the afternoons :D
    Need to start again :o

    It does sound yummy, plus the kids would like it too. I'm marinating chicken drums and thighs at the moment, half in tandoori paste, yoghurt and mango chutney for me and OH and the other half in buffalo wings sauce for the kids :drool: think I might be lazy and cut up some potatoes to chuck in the chip fryer :D

    Off to do half hour of cleaning now, desperate for the flylady bug to infect me :D (not much chance of that happening though me fears :undecided)

    i have just stashed (i kid you not) in my bag which has just been checked into the airport - 8 giant bags of grass we harvested, some secateurs - large pair of shears, boots muddy work clothes and no one has blinked an eye.

    I am now a seriously bad person - I am exporting illegally 'Forage grass' from Shetland to Orkney.

    Living on the edge huh?

    :wave: everyone. I am still trying to sort a few things out but I have been lurking to see everyone's progress. Thanks to people that made nice comments.:A (Just to make it clear though I wasn't upset by anyone on here it really is my real non-MSE life that has a few niggles.)

    I am on 8 days AF so I managed a couple more days.

    I am not AF tonight though, I have already bought a bottle of wine, some choccie and some sweets too.:eek: Comfort food (and comfort drink.:rolleyes:)

    Thanks Jo. Thank you for keeping score this month and to whoever is doing it next month. I have forgotten who it is for some reason. Miss Piggy? (Too much chocolate is making my brain slow down.:D) I have taken the weightloss target off my signature, for obvious reasons!:o
