Hiya Pips - so nice to have you back and in fine form! - lists & plans & chickens to boot!

Have only just figured out you've sent a PM - SORRY - technical hitch - work blocks pop-ups - sigh! - will write you a nice reply this weekend!

Have just taken a looooooonnnnggg lunch and caught up on various bloglets & mse diaries - wow i've missed sooooo much of life "in-the-box"!

On the food front - OH made Cottage & Roots Pie from an A&C recipe - soooooo yummy - would have served 8 if we had been more restrained - made about 6 servings & was very scrummy! (did I mention how [STRIKE]cheap[/STRIKE] frugal it was to make?)

xo RT
ta for now - boss man just came back to the office - better start looking productive!

Meanwhile back at the ranch...........I've just discovered you can direct link FB photos to the image button here by right clicking and taking the direct image code. Who knew, not me that's for sure.

Haggis, not so impressed. Still snoring.

I am mega impressed with that one.

Oh, don't the chooks look bonnie, Pips. Lovely new feathers aplenty. Yes, Wales behaved very nicely and it only rained during the night

Thanks for the link RT I've just printed out the recipe and I will use Quorn mince instead of meat :T

Morning Pips & all in Stripeyland!

Thought I'd report on our deal of the week! The nice man in A$da let me have first choice of everything in his mark-down trolley! Lesson learned is to never underestimate the power of a please & thank-you! Lots of lamb for £1.50 - Butcher counter chicken wings (also £1.50) - belly strips for 75p & 8 fresh burgers for 1.50 - so all in all about a fiver for a week's worth of meat! - OH is very happy as last night's plate ratios favoured the meat - lol

We're off shortly to visit OH's [STRIKE]mom[/STRIKE] mum - she somehow 'forgot' to tell us she was admited to the hospital and has had an eye operation - we found out from his sister two days after it happened! SIGH!! - a six hour round trip out to the east coast - visiting hours at the hospital start at 2pm.

Have a lovely day all & enjoy the glorious sunshine if you've been gifted with it!

Wow that sounds like a major bargains, just a thought with the hosp if your stuck with the visiting hrs may be worth asking if you can go earlier or later, we've got my dad in hosp in wales we've had to come home this weekend but they said if we can't do the normal times as long not meal time or docs round we can pop in anytime th visiting 2 to 3 and 7 to 8 but yesterday we did 330 to 6pm xx

There's a local one for a short story I must dig out the details. I've a mind of tale of a gardening superhero in her cape dealing with evil slugs whilst the world slumbers.



I did say fiction right

Good stuff! I'm so glad it behaved Wales can be a bit of a handful at times if my MIL is anything to go by
