    lol SM, I've only only ovened them once before so can't remember, they usually go in a casserole/chausseur sauce but I cba earlier and had my nap instead so gonna whack some reggae reggae on them. I just don't want to have to eat my chips 15min before the chickens done or vise versa :p

    edit - thanks Krystal I reckon chips will take 30 mins at 180 too (usually 20 at 200)

    Today's Thanksgiving in the US. Husband's American, and on this day last year I made him dinner. We had Thai red curry with tofu, basil and courgette, and once dinner was over he started talking seriously and I thought he was breaking up with me. And then he proposed, and I said yes, and he produced a ring.
    Hopefully he'll be better soon and you can have a belated celebration. When we were going out OH used to keep scaring me by send me texts saying, "We need to talk."

    Big hugs to everyone that wants them - seems lots need them

    Tigs - Go Andrew :j:T:j

    Jackie boy slept from 11pm til 6am again - am hoping this is a sign of things to come! I made the mistake of going back to bed for a cuddle with OH at 8am and I felt like crap when the alarm went off at 9am!

    Been out to do some banking and then OH treated me to a Frankie & Benny's - EM, ever since you mentioned the Waffle I've wanted one!

    OH got his haircut then we both got our eyebrows waxed - he is so funny, he thinks it hurts like hell and his brow is now bright red :rotfl:

    Really NEED to tidy house ready for the IL[STRIKE] invasion [/STRIKE] visit tomorrow and also need to finish off my truffles!

    Decided that for Christmas I want the Twilight Saga books which MIL is getting me and going to drop hints about a nice big oversized handbag which I can use as a changing bag. The Boots bag just doesn't fit enough in (well, that's ny excuse anyway ;))

    :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
    yay for the long sleep again!!
    Kian went asleep at 8 woke at 1am for a quick snack and then slept till 5, i;ll settle for this for the moment.

    your boots bag was bulging!! defo get a nice big bag

    Have noticed it alot recently and just wondered why :confused::o

    Right 3 posts in a row means I've got too much time on my hands! Off to clean!

    Very observant! I searched the thread and it is myself and Tia who say jags!! I noticed others said jabs, but thought it was just me being different.
