    Bookie, I tried to do a stew in the slow cooker yesterday.....with dumplings. Trouble is by the time its cooked I am so sick of the smell I don't want to eat it..

    I just had about six massive dumplings instead....

  • I used to be absolutely fine at cooking for myself but nowadays I just can't be bothered.

    Blooming cold now. Lit the fire and drawn the curtains. Must be wine o'clock. I was given loads of gin and chocolate yesterday. :confused:
    Also got some cash from parents and great aunt so starting to look for Christmas presents. DD1 gave me some money towards the rest of my internal doors so must save that.

    My home group were lovely yesterday - I had a birthday cake! Years since I had one of them.
