    not sure who mentioned it, but i too need to look at getting the slow cooker out, although as LO seems to prefer BLW so i'm not sure what i can do in the slow cooker that she will have. she's not a meat eater so will need to think about that.

    LOL - after I was telling you the other day that Benjamin won't eat meat he sat there yesterday and gobbled down some pork (cooked in the slow cooker overnight) going nomnomnomnom :rolleyes: I couldn't believe it and rushed into the kitchen to grab him some more!!

    I now cook all my meat in the slow cooker - beef, pork, chicken - it is all yummy!!

    Yeah Specsavers are poo (sorry em :p)

    I went there before Xmas to get new lens, and it turns out they had given me a dodgy batch, hence why I couldn't see out of one lens and I was worrying my eyes had got worse, anyways, I was taking Keira to the movies afterwards and she was excited (as 3yo are!) and she has a bad habit of interrupting you because she has thought of something amazing to tell you, anyways the optician guy was like

    "Be quiet little girl"
    "Shoosh!"
    "Excuse me! Im talking!"
    "Rolling eyeballs into brain mode"

    Honestly, she was barely saying anything and he wasn't saying anything interesting, more like muttering to himself. Id of loved to poke him in the eye!

    Rude b*****

    Agreed!!! Lo's don't eat meat well as the chewing is too much effort. By cooking it this way it just falls apart for them, and is yummier anyway. X

  • Anyone know how I can de-ice my drive way? Its a 30% incline and OH managed to get off to go to work, but doesn't think he can get back on safely. I'm totally out of grit, and pretty sure I don't have a spade. Any ideas?

    I've decided I need a slow cooker so oh wise women which do I get? (and which is that one from argos to avoid?)

    We have a 6.5l Morphy Richards and it is huge but I love it. It depends what you want to use it for really - do you want to cook joints or just small amounts of say stew?
    The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents ;):o:D

    I just read that as new legs!!! Oh dear. :o:rotfl:

    I wouldn't go there again, the pratt! Use a different one next time.

    This isn't working, I sit on the floor with Maddy in the daytime if I'm on here. But each time I put here away from the laptop she's back in a few seconds! Too little to be that fast. :eek:

    Sami - I think the OS ladies recommend the Morphy Richards slow cooker and Asda have it on sale at the moment.

    Off to make steak pie and pea & ham soup. Hope Holly can play on her own for a short while without getting bored! I don't seem to get anything done. Have been lurking here a bit whilst playing with her.
  • Chris said he is going to phone the doctor for me !!

    He just walked into the kitchen where I am doing the ironing dancing to Jon Bon Jovi and apparently that means I am sick and need taken away to be well looked after !! Bluming cheek of him :p
