    I have a herb garden! Not one that provides me with huge handfuls of coriander, parsley, chives, dill & mint in January though :(

    72p/packet isn't too bad... as long a you don't need 11 packets!

    We made kuku sabzi (Persian herb frittata) and it was delicious albeit a little salty (there must be tsp/tbsp typo in the book :eek:)

    Yesterday:
    Eggs IN 5
    Eggs OUT 11 (9 in the frittata and 2 in a banana cake for a business meeting tomorrow)

    Plan for this morning:

    - finish laundry
    - pop into town to buy a few bits & pieces
    - pack for overnight trip to Germany (14:00 pick-up :()
    - shuffle money/pay CCs
    - prepare RMS items for posting this week
    - clean chicken coop

    T5 is heaving and I'm tired and cranky... I'd much rather be at home.

    Home safely but totally exhausted (even though I had fallen asleep during transfers to and from the airport on both days :o)

    I've made a list of things to do in the garden in February - hoping the weather will allow me to make a start on Friday afternoon as we are busy all weekend :)

    Em, speaking of herbs......... any chance some dill seeds could find their way into your bag when you visit? I can't find any here :(:(
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
