    I have been wondering what I can cook in the shortest possible time with the least effort.

    I urge you to try the pork Heath, yes it does take 6 hours but no effort required, just bung it in and then 6 hours later it's ready :D

    Hi,

    Just a quick hello from me. Hope everyone is well.

    Happy Birthday Sim :bdaycake:

    Budgie - If I find out anything about the wireless connection being so unreliable I'll let you know. I gave in and ordered an ethernet cable today. It was only a fiver so worth it if I can use it when wireless is too slow. I hope you are enjoying X Factor! I'm recording it to watch later tonight.

    DB x

    Hi Db yes I did watch the X Factor :) My DS rang me and we were chatting for sometime, then he casually said: "isn't the X Factor on"? To which I replied yes but I have pressed the button that stops it on live feed. "Glad to know you have your priorities right" was his reply :) Well of course I wouldn't do that for anyone else ;) But I am on 12 af days please DB intend it to be 13 today. Thanks for scoring sweetheart. (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hope everyone's well today. Honey slow roast Duck today :drool:, potatoes (from the garden), some form of greens (from the garden) and maybe courgette surprise (guess :rotfl:)

    Fifth and last for now: Tis good to have you back, Dear Lurky :A

    Miss P is fine, she has decided to drop off from FB but has been in contact. We are aiming for a "secret 3 meeting" shortly ;) :cool: So you can have a quess who is the no 3 then :rotfl:

    Going to batch cook some today as well. Did pasta funghi today and got thumbs up from DD, not sure BF was quite that impressed. Will aim to do some of the other recipes that have olives so that I can use them before they go off. BF heading home now so we are ok to be a bit vegan/veggie for a week.

    Oh I hope so :), but then again - unless you're planning a secret visit up here - its probably not me!

    Enjoy your time next week :)

    Thanks Fay, you would definitely be included if you were a tad closer.

    Ok here is the big stress factor. You might remember that I did couple of exams in June. I should get the results tomorrow :eek: and I am getting myself into a complete and utter twist about it. For me tomorrow just can't come quickly enough.
