Good evening lovely people
i am in a VERY happy mood today. It's Friday and in 2 weeks Christmas will be over! What's not to be happy about!
I am wondering what my work schedule will be like for next week. I think (know!) i'll have extra hours, which will lovely
I appreciated the extra £'s in my pay packet this week, so as much as i groan about working, i like the money at the end of the day!
I am going 'Big Shopping' (my weekly shop) tomorrow morning. I have to make a list of lunches from the front page, that i want to try.
Have any of you tried some that you'd recommend?
I know i will make pizza wheels and ham salad wraps, BLT.
I am seriously impressed with you all, you are doing really well.
mavvysmum- bacon rolls sounds lovely, especially since they are free
Jelly- crackers and cheese are the best lunch EVER. Fact.
Soworried- Ham and pea soup is something i have never tried before!
Blue-hope you arent too hungry?
Cathy- Yes, the laptop has recovered
It must be used to the cat sitting/jumping/sleeping/standing on it by now

I took this to work yesterday:

We had a fuddle and everybody took something different to share. I did cheese and pineapple, cheese and onion, and cheese and tomato on sticks - which was really lovely! It was quite time consuming to make, though, and was eaten in about 10 minutes.Murphy's No More Pies Club #209

Just finished making chicken and bacon risotto ... it's probably enough to cover all five lunches this week but I might if I get inspired make something else so I can eat it across four. It's yummy, I had a small bowl of it.0
