    Hi Dawn, I struggle to even cook them as I pick mange tout and end up eating them, the same as strawberries and raspberries :o

    However, I also like them with a little smoked bacon, fried until crispy and the mange tout thrown in for a minute to heat through, with a little pumpkin oil - fab.

    All the little bits and bobs add up to a big bits and bobs :D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hope you are feeling better soon

    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Evening GG, I am taking care of the pennies and hoping the £s take care of themselves.

    Hi SSS, I am feeling better than I was but not 100%. - Mr Tilly is not used to me being this quiet or lethargic - he keeps moaning he doesn't have a list of jobs to do :)

    Night, Tilly x

    House:
    Empty both fridges, clean and list content
    Empty freezer and list content
    Build menu plan


    Finish the ironing
    mr T cutting the lawn
    Steam the floors downstairs
    Sort out utility cupboard
    Sort out the study :(

    These things are on my mind, so just documenting them to remind me

    Best wishes, Tilly x
