Serena if you have a lot to feed then I would definitely go for the 6.5 litre oval Morphy Richards one. You could do enough to feed your family and and still have some left to freeze with that one!

If we are talking slowcookers.. that is what I have.. it does enough to feed 9 of us.. 10 if I do something meatless (DH is veggie.. he is a curly kale) with room to spare. Not figured out how to do a large joint in it yet tough.

TNG - great to see you back. Pigpen has been doing a stirling job at keeping the gags coming, so with you as well, i'll probably not be able to stop laughing.

I must have done well today. DH came in and could actually see where i had been cleaning without me pointing it out.

I was on a roll, and got the inside of the living room windows done, and made a phone call to chase up my child trust fund voucher. I have just sat and looked at my list in my diary of everything i have managed today, and i feel very proud. Shattered, but then again, it didn't actually take that long. And, i managed both of my personal tasks that i had set.

I think tomorrow, i will ring the cattery and book in holiday dates that i know about already for this year. I hate making phonecalls, so i will get it over and done with rather than stressing about it. (put off since 15/01/07). Also, try and ring the electric company about a DD. Put off for a couple of weeks at least (if charlie sleeps for a bit tomorrow)

Michelle, x

Michelle.. you go girl!!

Get those phone calls out of the way.. they are never as bad once you are on the phone as you think they will be. I just imagine the person I am talking to as something weird.. and they never know I'm a tiny little wuss when I am growling down the phone..

And I do like to keep people smiling.. and I NEVER stop talking/typing/etc!

cha97michelle

I know i am very weird. I can stand up in front of hundreds of year ten/eleven kids with my teachers head on, yet give me a phone and i'm a gibbering wreck. I'm terrible.

I know i'm using the baby as a bit of an excuse - what if he cries when i'm in the middle of the call. I know i can just go in the other room, so i am just going to get on with it.

It's silly things like that though that hang over your head and make stress isn't it,and i'm sure everyone has something like it that they can't stand to do.

Michelle, x
