The Ultimate Hard and Fast debt clearing mission

Kepp

Thank you - I'm expecting it to slow down a bit now I'm onto Phase Two. Although if it wants to keep up at that rate I wouldn't argue

I have a weird question - you know those enamel type casserole pots? Are you not supposed to use them on the hob? We always have but maybe have just been lucky to get away with it. Re-heating butternut squash curry on Friday night - there was a worrying pop and the pot had cracked clean in half! Luckily managed to rescue the curry.

I have learnt the hard way that you're not supposed to use ceramic pots on the hob Beccie! I had a lovely blue pot that cracked in half and made a right mess! I'm very careful about what I put on the hob now!

If you're allowed coconut milk on the Harcombe diet I've got a recipe for an amazing lamb and butternut squash curry if you'd like? Might make it this week, haven't had it for a while and I'm craving it!

Oh I wouldn't mind having that recipe Birdie, sounds pretty nice!

Kepp

Ooo, I am allowed coconut milk, would love the recipe please Birdie

Thanks for the answer on the pot - least I won't embarass myself now trying to return it to the shop saying it's not fit for purpose!

I think that's why they charge sooooooo much for the cast iron ones that can hardly be lifted - they're the only ones which go from hob to oven to table - most of them are only good for the oven.

Had a lovely weekend with Grace at home, she did spend Saturday screaming which was a bit mind breaking, but with a bit less stimulation yesterday she was quieter.

Many of you will have seen this pic on facebook, but had to share it here anyway as I LOVE it - she positioned herself into this chilled out position and then started grinning when mum sang to her.



Where is the new location Tete? Only you can decide if you're happy to commute, for me it'd come down to how much I like the job, if I wasn't bothered about it either way I'd start to look around for something else. To me it seems okay if you like the job, but I've been doing 50 mins each way for over 5 years so anything under an hour seems normal to me.

Hope you enjoy the new car Birdie, those shares have given you some lovely treats. Still can't believe you went to the scroungers 'party'.

What a fab loss Beccie, well done. No weigh in from me today, I can't even find the scales today - normal service will resume shortly.

Sorry your brother is being a prat Cinny, but at least you've reached a place you're more comfortable with, even if it isn't the outcome you hoped for. Hope the first day of OHs new job goes well.

Awww Grace is so cute in that picture! How are you finding things having her at home now?

Cinny - Hope your OH's first day goes well. I'm sure it will be better than mine was!

Tete - I commute over an hour and don't find it too bad. I guess you'll just have weigh up what is important to you. And as others have said, this may be the push for you to find something different to do!

She is absolutely gorgeous Dinah! She probably has found it a bit strange not being in hospital but i am sure loving it at home now.

Birdie - yay for the new car, hope the insurance isn't too much more.

Cinny - hope your OH's first day goes ok.

Beccie - well done on the weight loss.

Not much news here. Me and Poppy got new shoes at the weekend and saw my mum which was nice.

Hi all, just sneaking on quickly as its OH's birthday so should be giving him my undivided attention apparently! But had to say how gorgeous that pic of Grace is Dinah, absolutely gorgeous and you can see she is a little personality x
