    NSD number 8 for me today. I am hoping to keep it up till Saturday when I know I will be spending as am doing the London Moonwalk and will need to buy some goodies to keep me going through the night. I took cash out when I went shopping the other day to account for this - am hoping keeping it cash only will reign in my spending! ;)
  • NSD Day today. Organic Box arrived today @£22 hopefully all supplied. Larger box has more options more choice which seems to be good idea. Box has the following (crosses herself Father I have sinned...) aubergine ES
    loose carrots UK
    batavia lettuce FR
    avocado ES
    rhubarb UK
    kohl rabi ES
    white potatoes UK
    mixed peppers FR
    spring onions UK
    butternut squash ZA
    mushrooms UK
    wet garlic UK
    plus EXTRA mushrooms and extra onions. Mushrooms for cool Mushrooms ala Greque Claudia Roden Picnics which as a book puts potential Picnicing at a new extra level as in REALLY soups it up big time and menu idea for different occasions like Glyndbourne (my mum loves opera, sister took her there), High Society shin digs (ok but forget young people just put 'people' in there instead for nice classy do) and how to smoke food outdoors.
    I have made a Harrisa Lamb Chop with Couscous (delicious) I frozen lamb steak bargains into harrissa smeared freezer bags. Recipe on Epicurious FREE for delicious way to harissa them up bar Good Food Magazine which tends to product place with first class cookery talents such as Mary Cadogan and Barney Desmazery. Optional menu Muesli with banana.
    Evening seems to be TV, Laptop, book Chomsky must get a look in, so potential NSD pour moi??? any guesses? love to all.xx

  • any pretensions towards 3 hours housework test going out of window. Must do it mum's way but be mum. Ideally text dearest guy friend too but scared at night. He is a darling otherwise.

    Have had a miserable 48hrs with my teeth! Managed to get an appt with the dentist yesterday afternoon. Got another tooth out, but one that was due to come out anyway. Last night my face and head were still really sore, so didnt get much sleep! Feels a bit better this morning although I'm dead beat!
    Last day at work before I finish up for hols, so I reckon it will be a bit manic. Having lunch with my pal though, so looking forward to that! Wont be a NSD, but it will be enjoyable!

    Have a lovely day everyone!:)

    How's the tooth Jinty? Do hope you can get it sorted before your hols, i have got the impression you may be looking forward to your hols just a little bit!! :rotfl:

    Hope things are going ok today Muffinman with no major disasters? You really do seem to be having a bad time of it recently & i do feel for you...

    Number 7 today please Spoon, not sure about tomorrow yet, but am hoping for a spend free weekend... fingers crossed!!
