Wow you lot have been busy chatting away!

Thanks for the new Inn glad & enjoy your wine

I've been busy sorting out ready for kitchen fitting. Dishwasher coming tomorrow but I don't know where to put it! Just had a nice relaxing bath and could have quite easily fell sleep!

Oh I missed Gino on tv Sheils. I like watching him but I couldn't tell you what he cooks as I'm too busy drooling over him! :drool:

I hate the look of the fish heads too fire**fly and always avoid the fresh fish counters! Don't like exotic meats either but then again I imagine lots of takeaways etc use all kinds of meats unaware to us!

Back to school tomorrow and sons just decided to throw up! He's hardly ever sick and he's had a 100% attendance so far! If it's not one it's the other! Mind you....I put my washing out today and within minutes they were covered in them horrible black flies! Yuk! No wonder there's a lot of sickness around.

hiya wingo, great your dishwashers coming tomorrow &
hope it all works out ok for you with the fitting,
will be fabby for you when it's all done :j

oh yes, wasn't there a tv programme that used to be on a while back where they went round restaurants/takeaways etc
& some of them were awful :eek: half the stuff put in the meals wasn't the meat they claimed it was :eek:
can't remember the name of the programme but used to like watching it :eek:
glad i'm not the only one who doesn't like fish eyes staring :rotfl:

Good Morning,

Woke up early so must try and get some comps done before we all try and get showers before workmen appear. Won't be handy having DS2 here as well but he will just need to wait until tonight for his shower as can't see him getting up before 8.30am.

Hope your DS is feeling better this morning wingo and you get your dish washer delivered OK. Know what you mean about Gino.

Looking quite nice out this morning. Have loads of clothes to hang out so hope it stays that way. Forecast for rest of week pretty bad.
Wishing everyone a lucky week.

Thanks Bella - will be stressed by end of week especially with DS2 here too and 2 birthdays!

Thanks for Gino link FF. Hadn't had time to look for it. It was the courgette frittata that I really fancied. See a cherry tiramisu as well - yum! Loving your pics.

Had my shower already. DD up and about early today as it is her maths exam. Haven't spoken to her as she gets irritated easily on exam days!

Have been lurking for ages, sheils hope you get sorted before the workmen arrive.

Up early this morning as DH has got to go to hospital this am - had a routine ecg last week & doc thinks he has angina so he has to have it checked - cue one really annoyed DH as it means he will miss some cricket.

I've been a cricket widow for years but still don't like it , I couls spend all day comping but get fed up arouns lunch times, especially as wind have been sparse & low value this year - perhaps it means a biggie is on its way

Use a spatula to move them around until they start to set on the bottom and around the sides.
