    oooh - good news tonight :)

    Won £5 on BB - withdrawn and about to transfer the money early over to the b-card :) Also qualified for a £3 valued opinions survey which NEVER happens so that's great. Signed up for an educational interview next weds for 2 hours - if it happens I'll get £50 :D Also reached and got £5 amazon voucher from lightspeed surveys so I'll spend that but transfer the money saved over to my b-card as well.

    So feeling happy.

    Why does "casserole" sound a whole lot nicer than "stew" :confused:

    At the end of the day, it is all just stuff (mainly leftovers at that) bunged into the slowcooker with an oxo cube :confused:

    I like "casserole" but I would turn my nose up at "stew" :rotfl:

    haha - so true! :) Called it soup to Sophia and she happily ate it!! William on the other hand - 'I don't like it' - me - 'You've not tried it' - William - 'that's because I don't like it!' *sigh*

    William sounds just like my DD.......trying to get her to try new things is really hard. Thankfully when she has been away skiing or to China she has tried all sorts of new things that she wouldn't ever try for me, so she comes back each time with another thing she is happy to eat.......we no longer have to provide her with pizza and sausages :rotfl:

    Definitely coming to dinner now, lamb is my absolute favourite. Shame you live so far away. Now if I was living were I was 5 years ago in Lancashire it would be do-able - so count yourself lucky I have moved up here.

    What pieces are you getting ? You have to try Nigel Haworths Lancashire Hot Pot recipe - its yummy.
