    I froze lemons after having a load left over from a L!dl deal, they're handy when you need juice for cooking - express thaw in a bowl of warm water. no use for zesting though.

    If I have a bag of lemons/ limes that I'm not likely to use up - rare these days with military-style menu planning - I juice them and freeze the juice in ice cube trays.

    I've hard the same can be done with left over wine for cooking, but I never have left over wine!

    NSD #16 in the bag

    Also in my bag is a little something I got from a shop today!!

    Hoping to have a sweetie table at our wedding so collecting glass jars as and when I see a bargain. Had an email today from House of Fraser telling me my £5 reward was about to run out. I didn't know I had a £5 reward so pranced to HoF and picked up a sweetie jar, was £10 1/2 price so for me, FREEEEE!!!!

    I :heart2: free stuff!

    Tomorrow is my nemesis now - I haven't yet achieved my 4 in a row target, achieved 3 in a row now 4 times but never crossed that threshold to target! AND it's a Friday!!

    In other news, I have just been through every single page of this thread again - I didn't update my signature to 15 NSDs after yesterday so got confused and thought I'd worked it all out wrong and that in fact I couldn't achieve 20 now as I'd run out of days in June - fixed it, do have enough days - and I'm reminded at just how mental you all are :D

    Good morning NSD gang! Have we all got that Friday feeling?
    Mind you, those of us who do not work weekdays 9-5 look on Friday as any other day, but there is still a special feeling about weekends.

    Now, gang, I am assuming marmiteis tied up with Other Life stuff at present, but will be back asap so let's keep on with the NSD collecting and get this place cleaned up for inspection...IGOR! What's all this clutter in here? Get on and finish that washing up, we're out of coffee cups....and shift yer blooming a s s (Sorry, not you, Hubert!)

    Hi folks.Well,the last few days have been pretty busy,but I will definitely do an update tonight.

    Wednesday turned into a spend day,despite me repeatedly saying 'bread and water,bread and water',yesterday was spendy,but the good news is that I think I'm going to get the last days of the month as my 4-in-a-row!

    Last night was pretty nail-biting,watching Nadal (yes,tennis is more important than anything else,including updates!).So glad he's through...

    What the consensus for the July thread....something easy please.I thought that ice-cream should keep most of you happy,but what's this about Roman togas?????Oops,Igor has just pricked up his ears...:eek::eek::eek:

    I'll go and see if Russell Crowe is free.:)
