Gahhh I missed sweet and sour chicken by two days.... can I come for tarragon chicken instead?

Hi MRN, you'll be going hungry at this rate :rotfl:

I think it's some sort of crumble or meringue for dessert

Evening MRN, it ended up being blackberry and pear crumble with custard, with a good amount of double cream in it :T

Very yummy it was too and thank you Mr T.

That's what happens when you eat a vat of custard :rotfl::rotfl:

Did anyone mention having a spot of afternoon tea tomorrow :rotfl:

What a lovely day.

Shopped at L!dl early and then finished off at WR.

Sausage wheel made (JO 30 min) and in the fridge ready for Monday.

Bacon and butter bean side dish made and cooling (JO 30 min)

Beef hash (JO 30 min) prepared partially cooked, cooling ready for the fridge.

Ox cheeks marinating in spices (TK recipe). Will put in to slow cooker tomorrow morning.

Freezer and larder inventory completed.

Menu planned for December including an outline of Xmas meals. More to do on this but I've read through all my Xmas books which was fab.

Menus are using freezer contents up which will make room for all the bargainous post Christmas goodies (hopefully)

OK money things £3 PC moved to MOS

Council tax paid by cash-back CC - need to check how much credit will be paid to the card in January . Will be paying the equivalent cash into the MOS in January.

Two gifts ordered for DD from my mum. I think she'll be delighted

DS has finished all of his ironing - good skill to have before leaving home . I was reading an article in a Saturday paper from last week about how ill prepared some kids are. I don't want mine to struggle when they leave.

DS and DH have replaced inner tube in DS bike - DS did most if it. Massive thorn :eek:

That's all for now.

I agree Tilly, my girls all do household chores every week, obviously purely to prepare them.... saying that there's a lady at work who goes round regularly to clean her son's house because he doesn't know how... hmmmm..

Hi HDK, it never fails to amaze me about how many of the kids friends can't wash, iron or cook - I wonder how they will cope when there's no one to pick up for them.

I come from a family where Mum was really strict and Dad would have a fit if we were disrespectful at home. So we all grew up to value our possessions and care for our stuff. Mr T laughs as I can tell him who gave me which gifts for birthdays from when I was quite young - "why does your brain retain this stuff" I'm asked. My reply "because people went to the trouble of thinking of a gift which I would like".

Right, need to get a move on, Mr T wants to go volunteering

Your food sounds delicious:drool:

I have also been trying to prepare DS for the big, bad world although he has announced he'll just stay with me forever:eek: he is very hopeless but doesn't get out of it that way as I'm hoping he'll improve with practise:rotfl::rotfl:and if he ever moves out hell shall freeze over before I go round to clean his house:D
