    I believe i've just earned my 1st star!! and on my 1st day FLYing too:j


    Didnt manage to do the extra, and instead of clearing a cupboard in the kitchen (already organised and clean) I finally sorted out under the stairs which was a mass of coats and shoes! it is now tidy and organised under there!

    I also managed to shread the paperwork i've been meaning to do for a while. Kitchen is clean again after dinner, lunches done for OH and DD1 too so now its time to rest I think. Will post tomorrows list in the morning when I see how energised I am after the school run lol

    Hope every1 is ok, have fun FLYing

    My word this thread sure does move fast.

    Didnt get as much done as I would have liked because DS#2 totally made a mess of his bedroom and toy room, and I had to get stuck straight into that. I did get a start on the Kitchen but didnt get any Ironing done, and didnt do anything in the dining room.

    Havent read through the thread, so I hope everyone is okay, if not hugs.

    Hi Cally... here's a link for a recipe that I think hits the mark. I tend to be a bit hit and miss with mine, chucking in a big tin of chick peas and huge dollops of tahini :D I like it with or without cumin, depends on how you feel really.

    I like to serve it with a drizzle of ex virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika and chilli flakes :drool:

    HTH

    Thanks SarahS, that looks scrummy! I'll definitely be trying it!
