    I have a friend who flicks the bottom of the envelope so it sounds like he has dropped a coin in! :rotfl:

    It's not me. Honest.

    A brilliant NSD #2 in the bag and 2-in-a-row :rotfl:


    Hope no-one minds the abbreviated version. Will try to get back to normal soon.:)

    Awww thanks Freeby, i had it in my head that it was my night to do the update, so a lovely suprise to see that you were already on it, means i have no excuse not to head straight back to my essay, which has been a hard slog but is halfway there!!

    I'll catch up with you all tomorrow, if i start to read now that will be me lost for the evening!!

    Oh & i'd better just declare number 2 please :j:j

    sazzie23 - thinking of you and your family, it does sound like a very tough situation. Hope that everything works out ok.

    Sazzie23 - big hugs, what a stressful time for you and OH, never be sorry for 'unloading' on here, as the BT ad used to say 'it's good to talk' x

    MissT - glad you're feeling a little better but take things easy (and carefully) xx
    What a lovely thing to say :A

    I know what you mean, this thread is so close to my heart because it made me really concentrate on being MSE and taking things seriously in a lighthearted way - if that makes sense :)

    Couldn't agree more Freeby.
    I have a friend who flicks the bottom of the envelope so it sounds like he has dropped a coin in! :rotfl:

    It's not me. Honest.

    Quite funny, although I'm not sure I'd have the guts to do it :rotfl:

    Well not a NSD for me today, needed cotton wool pads (wild I know) or else I'd wake up in the morning looking like I'd been in a Kiss tribute band :rotfl::rotfl:

    However, now have a quandry, I'm trying to be good and cook from the freezer (well obviously I mean use the food from the freezer and cook it in the oven - I'm not using Igor's cookery book :rotfl:) Now, I was planning chilli or something similar tomorrow but I have no mushrooms and i do like a mushroom in my chilli. Was also planning to do OH a homemade kebab on Fri (turkey already marinaded and in the freezer) but I need to get pitta bread for him (which is ok as I can use it for sarnies at work.) If I'd thought about it sooner I could have got them at lunchtime today, so, do I get them tomorrow and lose a NSD, or get them on Fri (and not bother with mushrooms tomorrow) - so I'd get a NSD tomorrow but know I wasn't getting one on Fri anyway? :think: *OI wake up - I know i'm waffling but I can see you sleeping at the back there ;)* The other small issue is that I've realised I have a bag of spinich in the fridge which I am loathed to throw out, although it must be past it's best (to say the least) as I bought it before xmas :eek::eek::eek: so what do I do with that..... answers on a postcard please.....

    Kerri - I would definitely live without the mushrooms. I love mushrooms in just about everything, they bulk out a meal and you use less meat :) but are they worth losing an NSD over?????

    As for spinich - I have no idea. I have never, ever used it. Can you wilt it with some spices to go with your kebabs??????

  • Use the spinach to bulk out the chilli rather than the mushrooms...
