    Lets hope they did record it...my bet is that they say unfortunately that call wasn't recorded and you can't have it at that price. You know what these companies are like!

    Afternoon folks

    Have had my usual busy monday (tiny talk this morning and then tots and guests this afternoon) and in the meantime I've managed to do a little bit of housework - vacuumed the living room floor and washed the crockery! Of course it would help if I put it away, but I'm chuffed that it's done.

    I was going to do a butternut squash risotto for tea BUT stupid recipe calls for sage leaves, a clove of garlic and a chilli; wish I'd bothered to check it before I went shopping after tots and guests! Strangely I do have saffron in the house for some reason:confused:

    Will go get sage leaves, garlic and chilli tomorrow after playgroup and cook risotto for dinner on Wednesday!

    Linda - happy birthday hun. 21 again?
    Luc - good luck with job phone call.
    Beanie - hope you're feeling better
    Hugs and / or :T to those who need them.

    Evie's bebe pod has arrived and she looks so grown up sitting in it (much better than the high chair that she slides around in)!

    I love butternut squash risotto, preferably with a bit of blue cheese in. I have never put sage or chilli in, although I do have a sage plant in my herb garden and chillis in the fridge.

    A little bit better I think, thanks hon. Still no voice, and have the most ridiculous cough ever, that really hurts, but the all-over pains have almost gone, which is looooovely. I have pulled every single muscle in my stomach and back with the coughing though! Feel like I've done a huge work-out!

    Hopefully you are on the mend now then snags...get some echinacea down you to keep the bugs away from you and so you can fully recover now!
