    Morning All

    Another glorious day here in sunny????? Scotland. Had a lazy lunch by the canal yesterday so not an NSD and will have to do the shopping that OH missed when he was "helping" when I was away, I know we are being careful and cutting down but you still got to eat?? Have a lovely day all

    PS Curly I had a similar experience with andoullate (might be wrong spelling) in France, looked similar but were bright red, stuffed with pork chitterlings????? euuuugh!!!!

    Wow I am so amazed I made my target - is only you lot and the fantastic solventspoon that keep me going. Fingers crossed the car will make it the 100 miles home and is already booked into garage for tomorrow. Have got the lovely RAC man on standby just in case

    Hello everyone,

    Wow, this sunshine is gorgeous! We got lots done in the garden yesterday so it's looking rather lovely, we do plan to change it completely in a year or so but for now we're just smartening it up. We did pull out the horrid water feature and found that the electrical cable was only just underneath the ground and the plug had melted a bit of the circuit breaker :eek:

    Anyway I am very proud to say both Sat and Sun were NSDs!!!! So I'm now up to 6 :) and I WILL be very good this week. Thanks for the positive thoughts spoon and well done on reaching 18! Thats fab :T

    Didn't get as much done yesterday as I'd hoped :o but it made a start. Means another nsd to add to my total & today is looking promising too. We had a 'large' chicken roast yesterday & usually I have to eke out the remainder of the meat with soup & veg in what we lovingly call a casserole, but there should be enough to have with a salad today. We're not big on salad but had the one we had Friday evening just hit the spot & what with the weather about to turn again, who knows when we'll fancy another :(

    When i got to bed last night, i lay there thinking, 'there's something i should have done, now what was it?'...then i realised that i had had another NSD yesterday and hadn't declared it. I was so tempted to come back down and switch the laptop back on! LOL! Anyway, yesterday was my 11th NSD so that is one more than my intended 10 NSDS.
