    Busy day today, bedding all washed and ironed, last of my stock listed and put onto the p.c. and seen as we had so much have joined the 'Eating out of the cupboards & freezer challenge'
    NSD
    For tea I attempted Lamb sheesh kebabs and have to say they were delicious, tasted just like ones we had in a local Indian restaurant not long ago plus there is some meat left for another day. Then remembering the new challenge I made a crumble using a tin of OOD pears and we had this with some ice cream. It was gorgeous so a big thumbs up for todays meal.

    I feel like I am alone on here at the moment :( yet am sure there are still on or two around. Roll on the 1st so can join you all.
