    Let's hope Snags that by meeting his kids he has decided that he wants to be with you - I'm sure he wouldn't have had you stay over if he wasn't ready to make this leap.


    I think whoever chose my shopping at asda was a bit dim. I needed a piece of brisket to chuck in the slow cooker tomorrow or Tuesday when I'm at work all day/evening. Shopping arrived (also missing the Simple face wash I use :rolleyes: ) and there was no brisket and no substitute. When I chose, there were 4 or 5 options - big, small, shrink wrapped etc etc. I chose 'West Country Brisket' - 1kg. So, they are telling me that there was literally no other pieces of brisket - and - that there wasn't even any other joints of beef in the whole store they could have substituted it with :confused:

    I've just hurtled to my nearest supermarket which is a tiny Somerfield - only to find they had no beef or even any pork!!! I bought a huge chicken which is now roasting and I'll have to strip the meat between leaving the office and going off to teach tomorrow night and make a quick tomato sauce today so I can chuck it all in a pan Tuesday night.

    Good job I did a big batch cook of keema and lentil curry the other night to defrost for tomorrow, otherwise today would have been batch cooking madness!!
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    Actually BB waitrose had no joints of Pork today at all...I had the last tiny bit of beef (probably as it was too small for most folk)....maybe there is a shortage in the west country?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I am a member of a run club-we go Tues. They do runs on a Thurs and track nights on a Fri as well but not not worked up the nerve to one of them yet!

    Get yourself along, I'm loving the run club and it motivates me to go even when the weather is bad!
