    Bookie, my ex (half Italian) used pasata as a base for all his sauces, it was really good, better and cheaper than tins of chopped toms.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    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.

    evening guys

    had a manic couple of days here, yesterday had to be in three places at once (playgroup, mums and bradford collecting presents):confused::confused:, somehow managed it, got home and then wrapped presents up for parents to take to Ireland, took them to parents house, back home, wolf down a chip buttie and then get ready for a virgin vie party where I managed to spend £80:eek::eek::eek: And I'm not entirely sure what I spent it on!!!

    Got VERY MERRY on Rose wine, and have managed to lose a favourite scarf :(

    Today, I woke up feeling just a little bit fragile round the edges but two LARGE glasses of water took care of that!

    Himself is watching football so I'm here listening to music via media player!

    Now, if you've read this far I want you to pause and take a really deep breath and FEEL the (((hug)))

    A friend at church. She apparently got 10 bars of choc free and knows I love coffee choc.
    Must ask her her how she got them free. Fairtrade but ok.:o

    I really fancy some choc now, don't like coffee in anything though. Dinner in a bit, scampi and salad :D
