    Eurgh, feel a bit sick Just got out the pork to see if it was fully defrosted & it smelt rank _pale_ Thought it might be me because I have a cold so sense of smell has gone a bit funny but nope flatmate was similarly digusted so into the bin it went. Bit annoyed as I froze it on the day I bought it & defrosted it nice & slowly (but not to slowly!) in the fridge. Yuk, anyway was a whoopsie so am £1.5o out instead of 3 quid. Fortunately I had some veggies so used those instead & now have veggie sweet & sour stir fry instead of pork! :o

    No.... :o

    Ok, I do occasionally, but only when I'm in a cafe. ;) I find them useful for days out and ds' pack up. Just bagged a few up for my trip to disney.
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    Morning all

    Just had store cupboard sweets and crisps for dinner yest with some fruit, my friend gave me a bunch of apples, she does every week lol.

    Have had porridge for brekkie and yesterday took 5 slices of ham out of the freezer, so that is the massive christmas ham finished, also took out the last of the square wraps and had a small container of cheese i left at work, will have the last of that and buy a little salad to put in the wrap, if i have a wrap left, will have it for dinner tonight.

    otherwise i dont know what i will be having for dinner, tomorrow i just need to worry about lunch as i am going over to my cousins for dinner tomorrow and i am in charge of bringing the dessert, but i gave up choc for lent and my cousin gave up choc, crisps and cake, so i am thinking apple crumble and ice cream or something. on the way back from my cousins i will check liverpool st station simply m&s for any whoopsies, they also have a tescos lol, so will have a wonder about.

    Have a lovely day all, i will pop back during the weekend.

    Thanks ms_night_ryder, just ordered one! :money:

    Made a big mistake and didn't check my dentist appointment time. Turns out it was 11:20. Need to phone with a really good excuse. Any suggestions welcome! I'd prefer it if they involved ds though! lol

    Tonight's dinner is going to be frozen chicken breast defrosted and sliced into thin strips, stir fried with some frozen vegetables and jar garlic and ginger puree and then one of the stir fry shots I got free courtesy of blue dragon thrown in, not sure whether I am going to use the szechuan or satay one. Then I am going to serve it with some medium egg noodles I got on offer 3 big packs for £3 at Mr S. Think I will also make some bread today as my kitchen is sparkling clean (for once!) and I have some time to kill xx

    Trust me, that wouldn't put him off. He removed a small piece of tooth that was deep in my gum when he knew I had an infection. The next day I was crying in pain and the side of my face had blown right up. It was agony!

    The phone call was rather painless though. Ds had an accident at school, poor lamb. Couldn't phone them as I don't have their number on my mobile. She was quite nice about it, didn't threaten to remove me from their list... shame really. :D
