    Dilemma: Found a house, nice house, very small, no off road parking, 4 miles from school, bit twisty road, no idea on the traffic in the mornings

    However: I want to live closer to school, preferably in the same village, problem: no houses available and those that come to the market get snatched straight away.

    Should I a) go for the nice small house that is not in the ideal location but would definitaly be available when I need it or b) gamble and trust that something better will come up in next couple of weeks

    So far today I have scoffed 2 large mugs of hot chocolate, 1 pack beef hula hoops and a packet of soft mints.

    I don't think I'm going to reach my 5-a-day at this rate.

    Hot Choklit has cocoa BEANS in it and hula hoops have potatos....you could also push it and say that soft mints have mint in them...that's green and leafy :D

    Hi Marru,

    Dilemma!

    What if I told you that you couldn't have the house that you have seen?

    Are you gutted or not bothered? There lies your answer.

    Tonight I am having roast son. He has been such a mare recently he can at least do something useful!

    Thanks 365 - I would be scared but not gutted.

    We have bagels with cream cheese, ham and cucumber for tea and then jam donughts for pud :p

  • That sounds nice Puzzcat.

    DH is cooking lamb shepards pie tonight (I'll admit I'm a bit thick with this I don't know the difference between shepards and cottage pie).

    Had a lousy day at work so hoping for a nice quiet night in :)
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x
  • The J.O. pork was ok but we found it too greasy. I think maybe I left too much fat on the crackling. The veggies were good.

    Mousakka tonight prepared by DW.
