Living on next to nought - is that the key?

Thank you GP for the links to Good and Cheap and From Scratch. I'm thinking about how easy it would be to use up the rest of my marrow with some chocolate zucchini muffins... and those jalapeno and cheese scones, I'm wondering about making with scotch bonnets (just fewer) as these were cheaper in Mr M's.

Yummy, that hotpot looks delicious! So glad the DIY is coming on apace, GP, it's so satisfying when positive results start to appear, isn't it Well done.

Well, I have had a quiet, at times very boring, Bank Holiday weekend. No OH to feed and chivy up, no GC to play with as they had gone to visit my Niece & family for a few days and TBH I have felt a bit ' off colour' anyway. I think I need a [STRIKE]kick up the !!![/STRIKE] plan for perking up before Winter sets in so more exercise and less stodge foodwise is on the agenda.....starting TODAY!
The DD & GC will be here from late afternoon :eek: , meanwhile a bit of decluttering and taking stuff to the CS will get me motivated....I hope.

Have a great day,GP and chums x

Oooh, I didn't realise that A_S_S is a swear word....sorry for that. I thought it was a kind of donkey :rotfl:

Good evening :hello:

Just a quick pop in from me this evening, as I'm busier than a busy-bee at the mo

I nabbed a NSD :j We didn't leave the homestead But then we didn't even get our '10 minutes' outside in the sun, when it shone, either

We've been working all day, and I can legitimately say that we are 75% there :j

We're going to play 'hooky' tomorrow, and remind ourselves that just because this is a 'stay-cation' there is no need for us to stay put entirely! So we're packing a picnic and going to visit a NT property :j

Dinner this evening is bits out of the freezer assembled around a baked potato.... not very exciting, but just about all I can manage :rotfl: I've also got to try to make a curry, so that we have something to come home to tomorrow.

wishus - thank you for your kind comment. Regular visitors to the thread know that I never seek out platitudes, and by posting links, I'm always trying to be helpful, nothing more. So to hear that you think that you may find some useful recipes in those books has made posting them worthwhile - THANK YOU

little_sweetie - fancy YOU coming on 'ere and cussing an all! :rotfl:Hope you rustled your motivation off the bottom shelf of the cupboard and had an enjoyable afternoon with your DD and DGC

Today I am grateful for these 3 things;

DP's 'stickability' - he will persevere until it's 'right'

for the nice weather - better than the cold and rain

that we've truly 'earnt' our day out tomorrow - in more ways than one

Thanks for popping in, reading and commenting. You know how much I appreciate you taking time out of your lives to support me

See y'all later.

Good Morning :hello:

Here we are on 'holiday' day :j:rotfl:

I'm about to start making the picnic. I think I'll go for egg mayonnaise sandwiches (our beanie's fave iirc ) on hm bread (which used up the very last of the spelt flour bought from our last hols, so circles and all that.....) We've hm lemon buns, some broad bean kuku outta the freezer, (although for picnic purposes, it is 'tortilla' :rotfl:) some crisps and coffee, and I think we should be set

I made the curry last night, so we'll at least have sweet potato jalfrezi waiting for us on our return

We may or may not spend today - depends if there is any NT produce for sale Also, I've printed off the route, but not looked at it 'properly'. I know it is taking us through one town that we've not visited, so we may stop and have a pootle, or we may not we'll see.

Have a great day, whatever you are up to. We intend to make the most of ours :D

See y'all later.
