Hello!
Uncharted territory here tonight as we got a reciple book out and it wasn't a weekend! It was Hugh FW's Bacon, spinach & Goats cheese frittata from the River Cottage Everyday book, only we didn't have goats cheese so used smoked wensleydale (Grommit!) instead. It was delicious!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Had sausage, mash, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and beans...oh and gravy. Sounds nice and was cooked well, just slopped on a plate though
Today, not sure what to do, bought some silverside in Mr T yesterday (better than half price) and thought it could have a slow cook today, if DD1 remembers to turn over on. But OH going out tonight (get in!!!) so it'll only be me and the kids. :think:
Nearly ended it all last night (with him, not me lol), it's imminent, can't stand it anymore

Leg of lamb on Sunday (potential MIL is fabulous cook
). Yesterday it was sandwich for brekkie on my way to the exam (DD played up in the morning so didn't have time for brekkie). Lunch was swede/carrot mash with chicken and tea crisp bread with cheese and smoked sausage.
Today we probably finish the chicken with some sauce (jar) and pasta. I hope the broccoli that has been in my fridge for ages is still edable."Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

Morning Diners!
My little local Mr T was on form again today.....popped in after dropping Piglet off and got some of that coronation chicken sandwich filler stuff reduced to 20p!!!:T
So...coronation chicken sarnies just now for breakfast. Coronation chickn sarnies for lunch (see a pattern here?:D) with lemon cake and gammon, chips and peas for tea
Yesterdays lunchtime sandwich got lobbed in bin at work as it was foul. Had to resort to a twix from the vending machine

Lucky you, I luurrve that Coronation chicken stuff. We don't seem to have any good reductions round here these days, perhaps I'm not in shops at the right times.
Big pot of beef stew cooking. Going to Salisbury with a friend tomorrow so it'll be easy when I get back. Cod, chips and mushy peas on today's menu.
Neighbours have one of those 'drop in' Christmas parties tonight. I want to be sociable but, perhaps call in for an hour but avoid nibbles and .......0 -
Off to make a HM egg and sausage mcstripeymuffin - anyone want one? And a bit of nice coffee (home working) anyone want anything - and hello there my cherubs-
I should stick my nose into the cutting down/giving up thread - I got the stage where I couldn't think about it all the time, but I've not forgotten you all.
Very big pot of turkey and veggie soup on - mince out for mince, tatties and dumplings later and just cut back the last of the chilli plants.
