Making chicken feed of my mortgage

muddywhitechicken

In the words of the lovely Greying... I've been McBusted! :rotfl:

It was from Waitrose BUT - if I was to make it from scratch - I would partially cook the diced BNS first (probably roast or I wonder if boiling/steaming for a couple of minutes would work :think:)

For the first time since August we had no plans for the weekend - hurrah - although I don't feel as rested and ready for the week ahead as I had hoped

£10.07 claimed from TCB

Daft speckledy chook is confused by the mild weather and she's decided to go broody

Eggs IN 10 (5 yesterday, 5 today)
Eggs OUT 12 (10 given to family, 2 used in lasagne for dinner today)

In busy times, I absolutely love a weekend with no plans - and even nowadays too

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Sounds lovely. I might have to give it a try. I'd probably roast - or perhaps griddle the squash first.

Have a lovely Tuesday.

Busy, busy, busy...

2 trips to London this week - took my dad to visit my aunt in hospital on Tuesday and then had tickets for John Grant in concert yesterday :cool:

Plans for tomorrow:

- find and pick sloes
- chub club
- grocery shopping
- lunch
- 200 mile, 5+ hour round-trip to visit great-aunt in hospital
- cook fruit for hedgerow jelly and strain overnight

Plans for Sunday:

- finish hedgerow jelly
- housework/laundry
- visitors for lunch
- pickle onions (may delegate this to Mr MWC!)
- make spicy pear pickle

6 weeks to Christmas and starting to panic about the hampers :eek:

Ah, MWC, hope you had fun at the concert. Mr M was there too His friend had a spare ticket. But there wasn't one for me

Oh well, Mr Grant is playing nearby next year, so I won't have to wait too long

PS. Hope your aunt is on the mend soon xx

Mr Grant is the GMF :cool:
I have tickets for Cambridge and the Royal Albert Hall next year :j

Something had to give on today's list and it was chub club
Just had fish & chips for dinner so I may need to give it a miss next week as well!

Need to make a start on the hedgerow jelly now...

Mr MWC was "special" today - he used the chicken giblets to make a stock for gravy and then strained it straight down the sink... :doh: :rotfl:

9 jars of hedgerow jelly made and spicy pear pickle currently bubbling away on the cooker, tried to delegate the pickled onions to Mr MWC and he's deferred it until tomorrow evening

Popped to the garden centre this afternoon as I had loyalty card vouchers that expired today - 3 x 60L bags of compost for 28p (buy 2, get 1 free + £13.70 vouchers)

Fabulous drying weather today - towels and jeans line-dried :T

Eggs In 4
Eggs OUT 6 (1 box given to FIL)
