    Yum - home made chips. Do you have a deep fat fryer? How do you make them? We had a chip pan when I was little and my Dad used to make the best home made chips!!!

    You too SavingH!

    Well I finally got the flat in order, and 2 of our friends came round for dinner and stayed last night. It was great to see them as they are good friends. Must get up and make them a fry in a while!

    Morning ladies!

    Hope you start feeling better soon CAFC.

    Had a nice weekend. The wedding party was lovely, she'd put her wedding dress on so everyone (which was most of us) who hadn't been to the wedding could see her in it. They had a nice buffet and the band that was playing was her uncle's. Not a late night as it was in hotel and finished at 12.

    Sunday we had two matches in Southampton, won one,lost one.

    I'm starting to have a look at other flats. On works intranet there's one advertised in the area I already live, with two professional females. It's about £65 more than I currently pay, which might be too much atm, but I'll need to work out my financies and see how much I could afford,otherwise not much point looking yet.

    Managed to sell something on amazon that should net me at least £45, and it was a win, so has cost nothing to me.

    Hope everyone's ok.
