Hypno's reminder that she is doing ok, actually!

hypno06

Morning all. It is Monday again. 10 days until payday, and half way through September....

I hope you have a good start to your week. I have a very busy few weeks ahead of me and need to give thought to the "balance" I am trying to achieve in order that I do not burn out.

See....I am learning to think about these things. In the past I would just have carried on regardless, to the point of exhaustion. Now I can see that I am likely to find it tough, and at least am acknowledging that fact beforehand - even if I do still end up carrying on regardless It's got to be a start, hasn't it!

Morning Hypno, don't forget to use your friends to lean on - virtual and real. You will get through this xxxx

RED - so sorry to hear about your worktop I left mine on the draining board - didn't want to leave it outside in case it burnt a hole through the decking!
Lethal stuff - perhaps we'll just stick to mucky ovens in furture x

Good morning Hypno,

Your frittata recipe reminded me of a cheesy egg bake I used to make if I had pasta/potatoes left over. I didn't normally bother with the bacon, just the cheese and egg and skimmed milk mix & I'd add any left over vege's & some frozen peas. To cut down on the calories/fat I always use very strong cheddar, as you need far less, because you use less it doesn't normally work out dearer (when it's on special I bulk buy, and cut it into sections sufficient for a meal, then freeze). Also add a little shake of parmessan to make it cheesier. Dust with dried mixed herbs or fresh if you've got them.

Although please note it was this stuff that took the top layer off my laminated work top because a set the bag with the shelves in it on work top and left it there overnight - duh, kinda deserved it really!

Sorry to hear about the work top damage.

I had a nasty chemical burn from an oven cleaner when my gloves leaked, it took ages to heal properly. Now I try to avoid as much as possible and if I do I wear the heavier duty gloves, and the ones which are longer so less chance of drips going on your arms.

Happy Monday Hypno!

Oh the worktop is fine now, it appeared to take the 'gloss' off but I think over weeks I washed it off, or else the rest became as bad but now you wouldn't notice. Now I put the bag on the draining board, like a sensible girl!

Hope you all find joy in your hearts today and have a good belly laugh at least once x

Well done for acknowledging your busy weeks before they happen Hypno, that's the first step to not losing your sense of humour along the way I think! :T Look after yourself x

(and I'm easily decided against cleaning the oven too :rotfl:)

Believe me I have learned my lesson - was a bit of a silly mare thinking it wouldn't leak through the bag

It cleaned a bit of the patio for me when that happened

(trouble is the rest looks worse now )
