  • Hi EA, I do them similar to kindof except I just wash the pots, I dont peel them, and I cut them into wedge or chip shapes. I preheat some oil on a baking tray (bit like I would for roast spuds) and pop the chips in that and turn them over so they are coated (like kindofs idea of putting them in a bag though). I put my fan oven on high, around 200 and keep them in for about 35/40 mins too turning halfway, we do like them nice and done though :) HTH!!

    When we do homemade chips, we par boil first, made me quite fancy chips now...

    May I rant?

    OH has just come in and told me his twin brother has rung him having a go about us going to see his dad without him and his gf yesterday. Erm...what? Apparently we must tell him everything we do, so he can come too. He's such a little pr*ck, he often goes to visit people without telling us and regularly babysits for niece where we are never asked to - we don't care, nor do we ever mention this fact! I can't bear his family sometimes, poor OH gets stuck in the middle of everything because he doesn't want an argument, and gets sh*t on in the process. I told him that when he speaks to him next he should say thanks for his birthday present - the one he never got, despite their being twins, he obviously didn't forget! Grrrrrrrr :mad: He's also the one that regularly tells us our choice in baby names is horrendous and too posh, well I'd rather be too bl**dy posh than a complete tramp :mad::mad::mad: Oh, and OH gave him some clothes recently that he didn't want anymore before I eBayed to see if he wanted anything - took it all and what do I see on eBay the next week, all his clothes. Now, if we'd intended to give them to be sold we'd have said as much, but OH clearly said 'let me know what you don't want and we'll eBay' :mad::mad::mad: They made well over £100 from the lot, £100 that we could use what with me having lost my work contract and us expecting a baby, arrrrrrrgh :mad:

    Rant over, feel much better now :D

    I'm livid at their sodding cheek, to dare to have a go at OH about going to his dads without him? Seriously, he needs to get a grip, they're almost 30 years old for gods sake. Wish OH would just stand up to him and tell him exactly what he is, a selfish, childish (duh, not childless!), money grabbing little sod.

    Must get over it, only gonna spend the night annoyed!

    OH did bring me home cherry coke, and a milkybar because there was no toblerone :) Bless him, so love him :)

  • I'd be really peed off about that Gymfiend- that is so cheeky!

    I've got soup again for tea- gonna have it with bread and hoummous. I think hoummous might be my pregnancy craving as I wasn't fussed about it before but now love it!
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p
  • I have never really tried hoummous GISI, maybe I will buy some next time as its healthy isnt it? Im off for a quick shower while the chips are cooking :)

    Well my scan is at 12 and I'm bricking it :rotfl:

    Hope it went ok for you :D
    I feel like poo this morning. Woke up at 5:30 feeling sick with stomach pains, managed to dose back off but still feel yucky. Hopefully this is a sign of good things, but at 6 days overdue I'm getting less hopeful.

    Hope you are feeling a bit better now gisi

    Hope you are feeling a bit better too fattybooboo

    PennyPauper – I agree with everyone else – check with your gp about stopping the meds and I do hope your ms dosen’t reoccur.

    Lovely pics helen:D

    I heartfreebies - I am so sorry you have got spd too – it does feel like something is kicking you in the bits – hopefully you will have a chance to see a physio. I sleep with a pillow between my knees on my left side which eases it a bit HTH

    Nice crossstitch kindof

    Gymfiend hugs to you - grr at your oh twin
