It was the Thai laksa with chicken. Very nice and tasty but I can't concentrate when the chicken is sizzling away and I'm supposed to be grating butternut squash and boiling stock at the same time! Can't kitchen multi taskSlow progress is better than no progress.

Oh, I can't multi-task full stop. That's why I'm no longer a chef
It sounds yummy though! Enjoy0 -

No spend day today! Yay! Just got to pop to Aldi or somewhere in the morning for some veg and maybe some stuff ready for next week's meals.
My £5 from Halifax has arrived so I've done the Halifax shuffle. Also £4.60 from Quidco had made an early appearance so that has moved too and sig updated.
I took back one of the Soap and Glory gift sets that DH got from the Boots sale today, and exchanged it for some bibs and swimming nappies in the baby event, so bargains!Slow progress is better than no progress.
