    Daisy was born last Tues weighing 7lb 15oz (as some as you already know!):D:D:D
    Had to give this cutie another outing:)

    Went to bed last night so angry with myself - I did nothing yesterday - zilch, nada, rien.:mad:
    OK it was a dark cloudy wet miserable day, but that is no excuse:mad::mad:
    Then I came on here this morning and read pigger's post (and thought about other flyladies who are in our thoughts) - now I feel guilty as well:( I have nothing in my life stopping me doing whatever I want (well apart from money:p) so why do I self-sabotage (insert shruggy smilie)
    Oh well, onward and upward.
  • morning all.

    Happy Birthday Zed - hope you have a good day

    I've been in the Breakthrough study for a while; apparently it;s 5 years since I last gave blood :)
    Good to hear... I can't remember how long it is since I joined, although I vaguely remember doing another questionnaire either at the end of last year or beginning of this...
    Yes please I didn't find the courgette soup recipe :A
    Onion (probably one medium)
    Potato (one large)
    1lb courgettes
    Oil
    Salt & pepper
    1 tsp dried Tarragon
    1 ¼ pts stock (recipe says chicken stock, but you can use that marigold vege stuff, just don’t add the seasoning till the end as it’s salty)

    Sweat the vegetables in oil till soft. Add the herbs and stock. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. Liquidize (ideally… one of those £5 hand blenders might come in handy). Season to taste, and add cream if you like. Serve hot or cold. Keeps well. Will freeze (before adding cream ideally)

    Better get dressed and go to reflexology... catch you all later :D

    Morning all.

    I managed nothing on the list yesterday so today i'm gonna make up for it. As far i know i have nowhere to go today. :D

    Smartie congrats and what a beautiful little girl.

    Now where is my list and what can i cross off.

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
