Had a good day yesterday

1. Made marmalade - I lov homemade its not as sweet as commercial made

2. Made chicken soup in slow cooker.

3. Posted ebay parcels on journey to coolect DS2 as he finished earlier than expected - less petrol used.

4. Chat with friend on phone.

5. Met someone while working the dog who I hadn;t seen for a while.

6. Snow - I love it.

7. All of us watching Harry Potter with a glass or two of mulled ginger wine.

Morning all, thought I'd pop on and post my pleasures from yesterday. Got a headache that I'm trying to shift at the moment so apologies if I'm not too coherent. Here goes:

1. Cooked a gammon shank in the slow cooker and was again amazed at how much meat I got off one + stock. I'll be using the former for pies and the latter for soup.
2. The snow. I don't like it, personally, as I'm still too new a driver to be entirely comfortable (particularly getting up the hill from work on an untreated road tomorrow - ARGH) but it IS pretty to look at. A blackbird just landed on the fence, gave a disgruntled chirp and flew off again. My car has snow clinging to its wheel arches and icicles dripping off the bumper! Poor little Mappetty (my name for it - Mappetty = Ma Petite Voiture - sad, I know ).
3. Made moussaka for tea last night. I wasn't really expecting to get a lot of freeze, but we've got half of it left. I didn't make more than normal - not sure what happened!
4. Mr Kitchenbunny. 'Nuff said.
5. A friend whom I've been trying to get into mealplanning has sent me her plan (got to get her on here next) and told me she's got a neighbour doing the same! If I can help one person, who in turn can help one person, etc. That's a nice feeling.

Anyway, got to go start the day. I put my snow boots on before I sat down to see if they still fitted or if I needed more socks. They fit just fine, but I've got boiling hot feet now as I left them on! Take care, everyone. (((hugs))) to those under the weather and definite get better vibes. Here's to a good day.

Millie - keeping my fingers crossed that everything turns out ok.

Here are my five for yesterday:-

1 - Managed to get into a pair of jeans that I couldn't even do up before! Have been trying to be good since the new year so it looks like it's paying off.
2 - Had a few friends over last night. Was so good to catch up as it's been a while.
3 - I noticed that the car heating wasn't working so called Dad (who is a mechanic!) He found out that there was a water leak and fixed it. He said that if I hadn't pointed it out to him then I would have broken down next week, so I am very thankful and it didn't cost me a penny. Thanks Dad!
4 - Had lunch with Mum whilst Dad was looking at the car. My sister turned up too and it was really good to spend a bit of time with them.
5 - Was up with the lark yesterday and had written a set of minutes, done a load of washing and dried it and been shopping all by 9am! :j

Morning everyone- mini update from this end...she seems a bit brighter this morning- whereas last night she was flat out and not interested in anything, today she is brighter in herself and more interested in her surroundings (she is a v nosy dog!!). She went out and licked some snow and came back in and sniffed her bacon chew, then ate it, so I asked Dad to bring some chicken in and she ate that too!!

Getting 10 pills into her this morning was, errrmm interesting! What with that and the wabbits meds, I ought to re-train as a vet nurse

(actually I would make a rubbish vet nurse, far too emotionally involved!!)

That's such good news Millie :T . We've always given our mutts chicken and rice when they've been poorly, the vet sells it in cans but at a very prohibitive cost and I think fresh is better anyway. Bless her, will keep her in my thoughts/prayers that she continues to improve
