    Brilliant deals Pips! Don't remember the last time we've chanced upon anything that good!

    I've not yet done the freezer stocktake - but as soon as it's done I feel an 'eat from the freezer' challange coming on!

    Mom is coming from across the pond for Easter & we need room to store frozen fish as she does not eat red meat! Fresh fish is mighty expensive round our way! Looks like we will have to draw down on the frozen stores until at least one drawer is empty!

    Going to have a hunt in the remaining boxes :eek: for the slow-cooker as lots of stewing meat in the freezer that needs using up!

    Hope you have a slightly less manic day today - 9 hours is a lot of HARD work!

    Wow to bargainousness happening up there Stripes! Impressive...I can come up with nothing half as good.

    FlyLadyishness is sort of still happening with me - it's gone a tad awry the last few days but I'll use tomorrow to get back on track a bit. First morning for ages today that I'd not sorted clothes out but in my defence I didn't get home until 11pm last night so it was never likely to happen then, plus I knew I would have a bit of spare time this morning so not entirely a problem.

    Hope you're remembering to stop to breathe in between your snowdrop assaults and wombling?

    Ooh, how funny - I hadn't read this but I just popped in right now to tell you I've got the oven on for some of your scones :D :rotfl: :rotfl: Lots of DIY going on here - just been pulling down horsehair plaster from 1890 (really!) from the ceiling to try and botch a giant hole (that I've just made bigger). Got NO fruit, NO cake, NO bread, NO yogurt, basically NO FOOD (other than stuff like potatoes, cabbage etc that right now is NOT easy and appetising.

    So I thought - what can I do without leaving the house? SCONES! :j :j :j Not got any jam to stick on them, mind you :eek: peanut butter will have to do :D (or - wonder if I could make a kind of substitute jam with some blackcurrants from the freezer while the scones are cooking??

    Lost track of time reading your cheery blog for a while :) Hope weekend is cheery xx
