    We have handrails :j There's one that still needs to be fixed up but the fitter wasn't allowed to drill into a stud wall - so my Dad will do that tomorrow. Just need to sand the rails down and wax them (unfinished pine).

    For tea I'm doing some of last nights pork in gravy with mashed pots/carrots/parsnips on top....like a shepherds pie affair....I could eat it now cos I'm hungry!!

    I was going to do hot pork and apple sauce rolls for dinner but I really fancy pasta so have stuck a huge batch of quorn bolognaise on to cook in the Remoska.

    Lunch was 2 slices of toast and a banana.

    Mum has just rang to say she is coming over for a visit this afternoon, havent seen her for a couple of weeks but I still have that uneasy feeling which means I am not best company:o OH will be home at 2pm though.
