    We have a full size chest freezer - cupboard space is more of an issue currently.
    Better get DH going on the kitchen rebuild then!

    In a word.. tough.. we agreed ages and ages ago because the thread runs mon-fri the weekends would be permitted to be filled with chatter.. and so long as a post has some flying content it was fine.. Just because some nutter on another board got in a snit why should we change what we do..

    Now, Stop being such a drama queen.. you let too many people bother you with their nattering.. if we want you to shut up we will tell you.. ok?

    So, shut up and go to polish your chickens!

    That's what I thought you might say :D I was just giving the critics and nay-sayers the opportunity to have their say through the correct channels, rather than nattering on an irrelevant thread :)
    Nooooooooooooo :eek::eek::eek::eek:. Apart from the fact Im a man

    A flylady for every occasion - even occasions I never knew existed.

    I love being a part of this thread because it is a lovely supportive community - and, sometimes, talking to a 'faceless friend' is a real help...

    Gets decluttered, in fact? ;)

    Good plan :T :A

    That's Professor Brian Cox, OBE from yesterday....:D

    My friend at work and I have his pics plastered all over the office walls, as laptop wallpaper, and I had him for my avatar for a while last year :) He's back with his science prog on Radio 4 this week. Pic for all those not aware of his geeky loveliness ........... swoon :)

    Thanks for the eye candy Pen ;)

    Was your mother a fan of the Pauper's Cookbook by any chance? that's where I learnt to make a soufflee omelette :D

    PP - my Mum used to be horrified when I had vulgar HM jam toasties for lunch. We used to have jam omelettes, jam roly poly and my favourite silly name pudding, poor knights of windsor.

    Kazw - very kind of you to offer and much appreciated, but I had been saving them for my mum for a while so I have quite a few.

    Greenbee - I have the paupers cookbook too - pork and beans from it remains the worst thing I have ever made though which put me off the rest.

    most of it is pretty outdated given the ingredients available now. However, the pigeon casserole is one I use, and I think navarin of lamb...

    BUT if you don't like it, that's one to evict to make space for new and exciting things :D

    I need to put the next lot of laundry on, [STRIKE]put towels away[/STRIKE], make cuppas and do some work with DS2. Then it's bathtime for him[STRIKE] (DH is doing this :j)and I'll make a start on tea.[/STRIKE] Made, decluttered and (almost) cleared away. Got to work tonight (write reports, organise portfolios and send some e-mails), so I'm trying to pace myself. I can't afford to put any of those jobs off until the morning.

    I've wrestled with the internet ever since DS2 went to bed. Should have probably start working on other tasks first, but got a bee in my bonnett about sorting it out. Think it's ok now.
    I'll go and have a quick look at the new thread now, then cuppa and work.
