Poppy I like you more and more every post.

If you like crisps and cheese sandwiches try this....

Plain pringles or salt and vinegar pringles with soft cheese - put the soft cheese on one pringle and bang the other on top and WHAM pure food perfection. Nom. (can't get the little dribbling man to work but that's what I'm doing right now...)

Right, how ungrateful am I - I've been invited to a (FREE) champagne reception tonight and I've turned it down because I'm tired and want to go home and put my PJs on Partly coz I'm sat in the office in my jeans (casual fridays) and partly because I really am pooped! Done so much this week and getting my job ready for someone else to take over is hard blinking work... gosh isn't life hard:rolleyes:. /sarcasm.

Ebs with gastronomic tips like that, HOW are you not the size of a school (or me)? How?? Lucky minx

Don't feel ungrateful love - it's your Friday night, do what you like with it!

Well I don't actually live on the pringles/soft cheese diet. I would be the size of a house at that rate... and secondly I'm not so tiny any more. I weighed myself yesterday actually and I made this face :eek: I've put on half a stone!! I don't know how, I'm more active now than I used to be a year ago. I actually can pinch a roll now too. So maybe I should lay off the cookie baking... :rolleyes:

I'm sure I don't know what you mean....

You're right, I definitely need to get my slow cooker out. I think it came with a little recipe book which I will investigate.

Books-wise I'll pretty much read anything except horror! I love crime novels, esp Ian Rankin and Patrick Robinson. I'm not much of a chick lit fan these days as I find them a bit fluffy and samey but they're good to read at bedtime when you can't be bothered to concentrate!
The book doing the rounds at the mo is We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver which I thought was excellent if not a bit disturbing! What books do you like Poppy?

Sampled my concoction out of the slow cooker and have to say it was very tasty If anybody wants the recipe - if I can remember !!!!!! I put in it - you are more than welcome

Tend to go for easy reading books as cant seem to sit still long enough to concentrate on anything requiring too much thinking. Love Patrica Scanland and Penny Vincenzi and seem to lean towards the chicklits nowadays.

Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me! I'd like the recipe!

I also used to love reading Patricia Cornwell, the books about the pathologist Kay Scarpetta. She's a pretty serious character but they were really well written.

Will definitely have to give the pringles/cheese a whirl

Am in the same boat as you lol - weighed just before I went on hols a couple of weeks ago and had put on half a stone also. Had bought two new skirts to take with me and had to leave them behind :rotfl:Serves me right for acquiring a taste for chocolate - although maybe middle age spread has something to do with it too

Poppy - in case you thought my comment to Ebs about the hot pants was weird, most of us are all friends on Facebook, too. Are you on there?

Oh well here goes :rotfl:
Fried 4 lamb steaks couple mins each side to brown (any cheap lamb will do as it cooked so slowly) Put in slow cooker
Fried a chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic, 2 carrots cubed, As many potatoes as you want in slices. Just fried to soften. Stick in slow cooker.
Add tin of tomatoes.
In a jug mixed about 100ml hot water, oxo cube, tomato puree and found in cupboard an out of date packet mix(Scwartz or Colmans not sure) for Moroccan Lamb!! Added half of that!!!! Add to cooker with a splash of Worcester.
Lid on and forget about it for the rest of the day
