    Gosh it's cold today. I might need the duvet and a hot water bottle. I refuse to put the heating on :cool:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Never made it in the SC Sal, but make it in a pan on the hob all the time. Takes about half an hour :D

    what do you put in? Onion, carots, stock and lentils?
    Was wondering whether to make it spicy? Think I'll stick a batch in the SC when I get home can have it for lunch for the rest of the week *sigh*

    Oh no! Disaster:(

    I have washed the dress I am wanting to bring to the party as I wore it this weekend and it has a horrible snag on the front of it, I put a bra in the same wash and I think that the fastener might have done it:(

    Guess its the skinny skirt and jade top after all.

    I love that dress *cries*
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I just use whatever I have Sal. Often just use red lentils, stock and onions but use carrots/celery/leeks too if we have any.

    If it's just for me, I'd put a finely chopped chilli and maybe some cumin and coriander in. Yummy.

    Might have to make it for tonight. Really fancy it now :p

    That is so annoying isnt it, my Mum is doing a counselling degree and has started to say "how does that make you feel" after every bloody sentence, not really necessary after only saying you are popping to the shops:rotfl:

    I will try to salvage the dress but OH might have better luck than me, his Dad was a master Tailor and he has picked up his ability to work with fiddly stuff.

    How is your tummy today Spud? feeling any better?

    Bunny - Hang on in there girl!

  • Just been talking to the guy who is advising me on the bank loan. I really do have no alternative but to sell the house.
    I guess I'd better just bite the bullet and get on with it.
    Going to try and finish these accounts I'm doing and then phone some estate agents.
    Really feel that my life is over at this point in time and wish I was brave enough to down all my prescription. (don't worry - I really won't).
    Guess I'll bounce somehow.
