    Just a quickie as have to take the cat to the cattery.
    Tying to get up to date and packed for hols in our caravan.:j
    Haven't stayed longer than a long weekend before, so this will be a test of our marriage in such a confined space.:p

    Thanks for the concern about my ankle which is now much better.:)

    I'm going to have a good read through the thread tomorrow and try to catch up with what everyone has been up to and get to know everyone a bit more.
    It really is so much easier to get things done when you feel you have the support of such a great group:T
    Right off to finish moulding a great big batch of bubble and squeak cakes. I wanted to use up all my old veg and not leave anything mouldy in my fridge while I'm away. Wouldn't have crossed my mind to use it all up before I found the old style money saving forum.:D
