• cook more different reciepes, mine are repetative so its tempting to eat ready stuff more.

At the start of this year, I tried to make one new recipe a week. After a few months, we'd decided on our new favourites and encorporated them into the formerly boring rotation... now that my repatiore has expanded it's much less boring! I'd do the same again if we started getting in another meal rut.

Hi MRN, thats a great idea, there are so many great meal ideas online I'm just a bit lazy sometimes

I got most of my to-do list done yesterday, and changed the gas/elec from npower to eon and thanks to :money:will get a voucher for 6 bottles of wine. I will probably have a balance to pay before I leave though, but hopfully that won't be until january as I'm a bit short now.

My friends are coming for lunch later and I'm doing brie and cranberry toasties, xmas tree lollies and spiced berry cordial :xmassmile
I need to do lots of hours work today to help dh put as he is getting busy which is usual for before xmas, things still up in the air at work, we are taking some people to court at the moment, so this could go on for some time

:snow_laug:snow_grin:dance: Its snowing here today! I know if it continues it will be a problem as we are going away for the weekend, I know its put dh in a bad mood as he is late and it will take him hours to get to work, but it has made my day

I cancelled lunch yesterday as i did'nt feel well, but am feeling better today. Have a friend for lunch today as well ( not usually this sociable :rotfl:) I mgiht also cadge a lift from my mum to the supermarket as she takes gran every weds, since I cleaned the fridge out it is pretty sparse.

Off to force my lazy kids out of bed, whats wrong with them, its snowing!!!

Hope its a onesy GG!! DH nipped to fetch DD2 from youth club on friday night and as is fairly common had his pjs on (jeans on top) and on return had 2 councillors on doorstep. He was teling me the long story (he works for LA) (i was spa break!) and i said "you had your Pjs on didnt you" and he admitted that yes indeed he did... how embarrassing!!

No snow to report. Just "frosting", heating on as soooo cold.

The only time I've been breathalysed is the only time I went out in PJ's (to pick Mr GG up from late train at Xmas). Police officer was very amused . On second thoughts I'll leave PJ's at home :rotfl:.
