    Halfway already, goodness me! Hope car repairs won't be too expensive, always something to spend on isn't there.

    I know - it is flying by! The only thing that makes me feel not quite so panicked is the fact that August is ages away ;)

    Having a lovely Sunday with my mum and dad and DH :) we've been for a walk and am now relaxing on the sofa. There's boeuf bourginion in the SC bubbling away which smells amazing which we'll have with mash and green beans. Going to do an apple crumble and custard for afters too - well it is Sunday :D

    Another NSD today too; I don't know if I'll meet my target this month, but it'll be close :)

    Happy Sunday everyone :)

    We are going a bit more 'Merican for tea. After that rather gross documentary about KFC, I've been inspired to make my own deep fried (free range) chicken in a secret blend of whatever I could find in the cupboard. Won't be healthy, but will go well with garlic mash and coleslaw :)

    It was pretty fab, despite all the oil it was actually a really easy meal to make. Not one to have very often, but a lovely treat.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: My wife and I said "no need to buy anything, it's ages away" throughout her pregnancy and we were not ready for the arrival of our son, not through him making an unexpected appearance but through our own denial.

    Sorry to say this but 20 weeks will fly by and before you know it the baby will be here. Despite the fact my son is now over four years old, it seems all of a few days since my wife and I were reassuring each other that "it's ages away"!

    Your food, as ever, sounds delicious. :)
