It took an AGE to wash but it did it.

So this time I've got some shirts in - not sure a 2hr cycle is much fun but will google any likely causes.

Semi woo hoos but not sure yet its proper and functioning correctly. Though tis better than when we got it.



Waves hello.

Thank you wik - my quote button isn't working for some reason ? Anywho's 4 lovely packs of goats cheese and 1 pack of camembert reduced to 19p each :T:T:T all securely in the freezer and i do like to take the easier route as well so just popped them in whole:D There did seem to be some other tasty cheese i'd missed out on and this was all there was left with shoppers drifting away and leaving it so i snaffled it up :cool: Thank you for the cheese spread suggestion - and yours too pippi - i had pondered looking up a cheese sauce recipe as well

Well done on the big drive pippi - i am not much of a city driver and just try and avoid it where i can Of course with mini pips to vistit that can't be avoided but still well done :T

Hope the washing machine works ok xx - i've never thought about the timing with my washer - or the programs my Mr asked if we had a quick wash and i had to check - nope - that would have been the vastly more expensive washer when we moved in then eh? :cool: :rotfl::rotfl:

Hey TC - its amazing what you can learn on youtube if you're careful what you search

LS - thanks and by all accounts the birthday was lovely.

Morning lands.

My word there's a lot of trolls out today, is it season for them?

Working this am, then garden if it stays dry (but its cold)
Stove is on so kitchen should be cosy soon, it survived in from last night

Kettles on, must make a plan for the week.

Meal plan of shonkiness

Orzo (sp? made) with fish
Spag bog (made)
pork something or other with rice
baked tatties with somat (coleslaw?)
Lentil soup (all made) and crusty bread
'instant freezer tea' - fish or venison steaks

I pledge to make all my meals from the stores and eat from the cupboards all week. And stick to my meal plan thus.

So its a shoddy plan but the heart of it is 'eat from stores'. its the best I can do.

We need MILK. That's it, and some reduced bread should the universe be kind. THATS IT

:kisses3:Uh oh, has your sig been caught up in the troll dealing, or were you in a bad mood?

I like the word "shonkiness" by the way; and I should be preparing for work, but I'm on here ... better go! See you in a bit, glad the strawbs have rooted tho.
