I've planted my chilli plants out, in a tomato growbag, which will hopefully yield a decent number of chillies. I have grown them from seed, they're now about 2-3 inches tall and I've put them in the "real soil" as they were outgrowing their mini pots. If it's a disaster no problem. My only worry is a need to bring them in every night for a few weeks just to ensure the chill doesn't get them.
So hopefully a Christmas present will yield a decent amount of chilli peppers, a great present if you ask me!Feb 2012 - onwards MF achieved

Today:
- Yesterday I found 5 euro note in the pocket of DH summer trousers (that he can no longer fit into)
- Exchanged above note for £3.84 and banked that, and £60 in £2 coins, into Santander. Put into my little current acc, decided to close it and opened a loyalty ISA instead (in branch but didn't have to wait). I am going to put all my MFW savings into it.
- Found a free parking space on the road next to the Pay &dis car park:T
- This afternoon I am going to re-pot my Blueberry plant as DH has put it in compost and not ericaceous soil:mad:

Rubber chicken is how many meals you can get from a roast chicken. Eg, roast dinners, then a curry with left overs, chicken sandwiches, then some even boil the carcass for stock.0

Excellent win there on the bingo mirry. Sounds like you are lucky there.
Rubber chicken is infamous on the old style board. I always make stock now from mine as it is so tasty and makes the best soups, risottos and stews. I get loads of meals from a roast chicken. We tend to get a good 5 or 6. Yum yum.0 -
Today I've:
* scanned in my shopping
* made a big healthy salad for tea - went to Aldi for cheap salad bits
* not bought any cake or choccy treats despite a frantic day at work - inhaled some lunch whilst working!
