  • We all need to get off of the merry-go-round sometimes Mrs B , and I think the break will do you all the world of good. Some lovely time together sounds perfect and a little celebration for your amazingly hard work these last few months.

    I like the sound of the Herman Ginger Beer ( why did I think it was some sort of bread that you feed and it grows and finally becomes bread that you give away as a present ? Where on earth did I get that idea from ?!! :rotfl: I might have to investigate this Herman myself, Ginger Beer always reminds me of Enid Blyton adventures.

    Hope your day in the Big smoke goes well, Mr PG is off there today but I am staying chained to my broom cupboard its far warmer but a tad boring :o xx

    Will bring you some Herbert starter potion next time I see you! It's made for sharing :D

    Chilli sounds great, may try that!

    PG, I think it's cos Herman was the name of the sourdough yeast that my NZ mate uses..clearly paying too much attention to my diary :);)

  • Hurrah to (probably) going skiing!!! And what a motivation for the next couple of goals :D

    I am a weeeeeny bit envious though, but I suppose SOMEONE has to keep the resorts going while I'm on hiatus ;)

  • Hi Brizzle,

    You are putting me to shame with your running - when I've got this assignment and exam out of the way i'm hoping to be able to start up again :)

    Your plans of a holiday sound fab :T I have been away every year since joining here - often more than 1 trip :eek: but some of it is as you say about opportunities and getting a balance - the other big thing is of course that my mr doesn't know about my debt :o so holidays are sort of expected - and it is really about us spending time together away from home / work hassles. We do set a budget for our trips and have managed to get some good deals too :)

    Hope you have a good day x

    Aha, Ive just remembered where I got it from, it was from the "A girl called Jack" blog, Im pretty sure she made Herman bread.

    I will have a goggle as Kerri did and see what I can find, the ginger beer sounds fun.

    Hope your "very probable" ski trip comes off, i will keep everything crossed for you. xx

    Fish cakes sound yummy, PH sounds a bit of a domestic God to me ! x
