Great news on the PAD MF :-)

I wondered, do you eat the pie on it's own or do you add vegetables and gravy. I'm not sure if I could get away with just a slice of pie in this house, there would be a mutiny!

I really need to work out the costings of our meals, I think it would be a huge eye-opener x

Loving the soup recipes. I have yet to try the joys of lentils, but as they say....... Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Which are tastier, red or green?

Hi Enchanted. The Corned beef and onion pie is a hairy biker recipe. It also has potato and carrots in it. It says it serves six, so I guess youy could serve it with more veg or mash or something. However, the other night I had a quarter of the pie and just had gravy with it. I love pie and gravy.

I would say they are both equal. The spciy red lentil soup is really nice, but the green lentil stew is nice as well.

Hi Folks,

Just wondering if anybody on here had ever thought about living 'off the grid' and what it entails. I have read a few articles on it and it certainly resonants a chord with me.

Living on the land seems to suggest a more balanced life, one with nature.

Currently reading an interesting book about the way we perceive different things in our life. There is a section about money, and there is a classic quote

'The true value in things lies within your own thinking about them. Nothing more, nothing less. Give money to an Amazon tribesman and he'll use it for kindling. Money is as real as you want to make it'

I really enjoy reading inspirational books. I've just bought 'The Rules Of Work' by Richard Templar. I thought this would be prudent as I am starting a new job in September and I want to come across as more confident in this role. Last time I made the mistake of being too friendly with the staff and it didn't seem right as they ended up knowing waaaaay to much about me and learnt to play me like a fiddle :-). Lesson learnt x

I also enjoy watching You Tube videos of Anthony Robbins and Stephen Covey et al. They are very motivational. I've always had an acute interest in NLP and Law of Attraction.

Don't you just love it when the words of a book jump out of the page at you and give you a good old clonck around the chops ? :-)

I sound just like you. I tell people far too much about myself and I am too friendly. I know I need to change, but I never do.

As for stephen Covey, the 7 habits of effective people is awesome.
I have also read the secret and that was very good

Morning folks,

Well I did not manage a NSD yesterday as I had to get petrol.

But hope to manage one today.
