    pastry is not that difficult to make, and the big bonus of a food processor is if you make it in bulk you can roll up a couple of ball of pastry and put them in the freezer for other things save you having to make it often :D

    really fancy some mince pies now! (last time i made any pastry)

    I have actually found some shoes that are ok! Maybe not as high as I would like but they are already in my wardrobe and therefore are FREEEEEEEEEE! Woohoooo!

    Sal-I may splash out on a cheaper one until I too can afford a nice cuisinart one or something like that, lol

    I have put load number 3 on, folded load number 2 and one more in the dryer...

    Only 3 more loads after that and then to tackle the Leaning Tower of Ironing!

    Lamb is in the slow cooker-not sure what exactly it will be, wanted a lamb curry but I think it is more of a lamb stock right now-I am going to add potatoes and spices etc and hopefully it will end up a curry of some sort-not worried though, will be nice Im sure however-and if its not? Well, sod it. They can starve...

    I thought pastry came in packets from supermarkets......same as custard!

    Pretty knackered, in fact feel a bit off! Have a bad head and have had it for days and a sore neck....felt a bit rough first thing but have got through a new client meeting.....nice lady and am feeling a bit better....Grandson now got chicken pox.

    have another client meeting this afternoon, and then i think its early doors for me.

    Kassi, I have never really seen a before picture of you, that is amazing!

    Oh and 21 years ago today I got married - for the first time.....I chose today so I would never forget it...I remember this day every year and forget my other wedding anniversary every year...
