    all sounding really positive NLID. Do make sure you get through to CCCS as I am sure you will feel better once you have done.

  • Thanks Jo - You have to take every opportunity which is thrown at you, and a fuly functional MOT'd for 12 months car worth over £700 for half that is a gift which will put food on the table for a few weeks and allow me to spend the money we have for food on getting debts paid of.

    If it sells I may even treat myself to a curry! Not had one in nearly 3 weeks now and i am really really missing them!

    Morning all! Have finally sorted out internet-too long and boring a story to repeat!
    Hugs to everyone that needs one, I missed so much yesterday so I read back but by the time I've finished I've forgotten what I was going to write and to who!
    Good news about DD's ex Evenstar and the date sounded fun Munchki!

    Bloody raining again here-so much for summer, sorry the Devon weathers rubbish for your hol Nixi hope you have a good time anyway hun.
    Sorry to hear about your Uncle Paula-big hugs for you hun.

    Well done on the giving up fags Green pixie-you are doing really well!

    Hi Toots, Jo , NLID, Wayne and Hales and everyone else...blimey!

    am really behind on all the minimoves now-am keeping yesterdays in store tho as want I really want to do is learn to whistle! bizarre I know but I just can't do it and would make calling the dogs a lot easier..must be a tutorial somewhere lmao!
  • Jo,

    I can write a complicated computer program, rebuild a car, build computers, sort out some plumbing issues, perform many other electrical tasks, make an excellent cafetier of coffee, have DS giggling so hard he must wet himself laughing - however ask me to make a couple of slices of toast! You will get either:
    • burnt
    • underdone
    • too much butter
    • too little butter
    • knife gone through the toast trying to butter it
    Or a mix of the above...

    And you want me to make a curry! I darent guess what can go wrong on that one...

    Seriously, We have the stuff in to make a Jar curry - but neither of us have the time/energy to make one from scratch due to us putting so much effort into everything else...

    NLID all but 1 of those slices of toast are edible/ rescuable and some might sya the burnt one too.
    doing a stirfry with a bought curry sauce prob takes less time/ energy than you think and noodles only take about 3 mins in boiling water.lol
    know what you mean though.

  • Jo I picked toast as just one example...

    My idea of cooking a meal for OH- is nipping to the chippy and getting chips and gravy or whatever she wants... It is just one of those things in my head that is not switched on - and I dont have the free time to practise.
