Guys... tut tut - advent calendars will be going cheap by 3rd or 4th of December! And if you really need them for the 1st then get the kids to make their own from old cereal boxes.

Don't get me started on Secret Santa - one year I got nothing. No one owned up.

Enough frivolity. Tasks for tomorrow:

• make MORE soup. I think the Clangers have moved in :rotfl:. Judging by the cupboard it will be leek and sweet potato. Surprisingly, there are a lot of recipes .

OK - now I am getting used to having soup at lunch, I really need to get my head around planning!
I have 3 carrot and ginger single portions in the freezer... and I have stuff in the house for Tomato Soup and for another batch of Thai Spiced Sweet potato and Courgette.

I wasn't that fond of my first attempt at Red Pepper soup - but the portions later tasted better than the soup I had initially...

Another new soupy on the list is Cabbage, Potato and Carrot.. so at some stage I need to get carrots for that and more carrot and ginger.

So if I allow myself a treat from the chippy on a Friday... I need to plan for a batch of at least two soups a fortnight, I think...

My head hurts! Money saving and calorie logging is tough!

That is just so crap I cannot believe that.

Last year for secret santa one I got some scented candles they were nice but I hate them with a passion. I went back to my friends house (also part of the team but wasn't there when we gave out the presents) and told her how much I hated my present.

Ups to my horror she had given it to me. This year I am not entering into an Secret Santas and will make sure I give her a lovely present. So embarrassed I was.

The soups sounds lovely Carrot and Tarragon (Delia) is really nice so is roasted veg (basically any left over veg from Sunday lunch in chicken stock).

eh GG - thought it was time I caught up and had a stalk.

1,000 + posts - in nearly two years (is that good?)

Have to admit some have made me chuckle ........... although my recollection differs somewhat from yours. No change there then

2,000 posts by the end of 2013? Keep writing xx

Evening Mr GG :kisses2:. I've only been gone a few hours and you're obviously pining for me :smileyhea. We can compare differing recollections at the weekend .

I'm still thinking of what to buy for my work's secret santa, thanks for the tips on what not to buy although I hadn't considered a mop head :rotfl:
