    Thanks Carinjo. It's a bank holiday and we have no help at weekends or bk hols. Yesterday we had (on top of everything we normally do) to collect a tractor ram that had been in for repair - an hours journey both ways, plus it was my second vaccination, and in the morning we had 4hrs of training. Quite a busy day.
    The next couple of days it's just the usual, minus the staff, which is normal for weekends. We can cope with that - it just stops me doing house work or shopping both of which I don't mind. By the way i like fish fingers but never think of buying them - that is until now!!!

    Out breast of lamb for tonight and a small turkey for tomorrow and then it will be no cooking for a few days as we plough our way through the turkey  :)

    @zafiro1984, please don't get fishfingers. As rule, they are pretty tasteless. Ms C got them on one of her shoppingtrips and i just ate them since they were ready and i was hungry and tired. Desperate times and all...
    Out of the cupboard: a tasty bottle red from Portugal.

    Edit: don't post when half asleep. If you like fishfingers, then get them! I personally don't. Hehe
