    You can also do popcorn in the microwave Lilty....just...um....don't melt the bowl :o in my defense that was at my old work!

    Me too, which is why I always use a pan now. :o

    Someone told me to try and find foodsafe paper bags as they can be used to microwave pop it too but I've never looked for them to try it.

    Hi Lilty sounds like you are enjoying your new Fitbit. I loved mine to start with and got a real buzz with the results but then got a downer if I couldn't better it the following day!! Is Jelly better, hope it was jus a 24 hour thing. Xx. Love being at home for an extra day, was up early as sun was shining, got small load out on the line, finished off cleaning my oven, did a small amount of ironing ( was a good girl and kept on top of chores over weekend) then got out in the garden for about three hours and thoroughly enjoyed that. Have now had bath and am relaxing and catching up on here. Hope all have had a good Bank Holiday. Xxx

    Hi Lilt, all the cooking does sound hard going but hopefully will get easier with time.

    Speaking of slow cookers I have a Morphy Richards sear and stew one. I bought the smaller one as there's only two of us and it's really light to lift etc as the inner pot bit isn't ceramic. That was the selling point for me, easy to lift and clean because it's Teflon/non-stick stuff.

    Hope Jelly is feeling better.

    Ruth 13,179 and I never moved outside the front door of my teeny flat! But the house is scrubbed clean and ironing complete and just.. everything is done! It is now chucking it down but tomorrow I have to do the school run and a trip to hospital for my liver function test so I might get some more walking in then. But I plan on sitting on my bum a good bit

    BILLIE I don't try and compete with the day before as each day is so different in terms of what I do and what I CAN do. I focus on beating the 10,k steps and keeping my active minutes up. Today it tells me I didn't have single active minute. To this I say I have cleaned my flat from top to bottom including scrubbing tonnes of tiles twice over, vacuuming everywhere, mopping... So sod off :p hahaha!

    sashybo I tell you what the curry rubbed chicken thighs were mega for all the faff the powder was to make for myself. Really tasty indeed, I was pleasantly surprised! I also enjoyed my halloumi in place of paneer ;)

    dfw it stayed gorgeous all day and MIL came on her own :T and left FIL at home 'fixing the car' which he hadn't started by the time she rang him at 5 to see if it was fixed. Twonk. So she took Jelly out as it is a no-nursery day due to bank holiday which left me cleaning up like a demon for 4 hours!! I finally got to pegging the washing on the airer and they got back. When MIL left it was raining so mine are still radiator dried. Must plan better!! :rotfl:

    Am... fuming and hesitant and feeling a bit wobbly right now hence me being here when I have been asleep for a couple of hours already earlier.

    The *thing* that shall finally be sorted at some point this year is almost there. I need a solicitor. And I am feeling the pressure from someone who should know better than to push me to *hurry up* on information they sent at half 8 this evening after I have waited for 6 years for them to get off their bum and sort it out.

    Can't do anything till I go to work and speak to boss I guess. They know solicitors. I don't. But am not going with one who is a few hundred miles away just to make someone elses life simpler when they have made mine anything but for years.

    Right.. Off to sleep or pace the bedroom or something. Green tea just isn't the same as ovaltine at calming me down.
