Hi pippi,

I hope you're feeling better soon x I thought I'd ask about freezing of cheese on here as there is often lots of lovely talk about this I got some very whoopsied goats cheese & 1 Camembert. What's the best way to freeze them / can they be frozen? And is it best to just use to cook with afterwards? Thanks in advance x

Thought I'd drop in and share...................

hiya - in absence of darling pippi.... cheese can be frozen, even goats and camembert... you dont need to just cook with them after, hard cheeses - that you may read you need to grate before freezing tend to crumble a wee bit - i am lazy and freeze them whole and then just crumble into dishes... (saves having to wash up the grater!!)
as for camenbert - you can always bake it and then serve it with some crackers or crusty bread

another idea for the odds and ends of cheese you may have in the fridge... grate them, and then cream together with a wee bit of butter - makes a very yummy cheese spread

Hey chappsies - hello and how are you all.

Well done Aunty Wik for sorting out the cheese question. Love the idea of cheese spread. I normally keep all my odd bits in a bag and make them into a cheese sauce when I've enough, but I might try yours!

Yum Cookies greying thank you. (cauli - 1lb 2 oz)

Beanie thank you too. 49p for brocollii and the others is good! Will look out next time I'm out.

Not totally caught up yet. XHAUSTED - two cities, two kids (seen seperately) two hours skiing. DS bought us tea out.

Long day. But so grateful to be able to do a trip like that without ferries and days and days away from home.

So lucky and so very grateful.

See you in the am chaps thanks for posting! I'll promise to catch up tomorrow which will def be a NDD.



Sleep well angels.

Off to bed.

Before I forget £24.98 Petrol spend.

Aside that yesterday, no spends. TRG treated me to skiing (indoor) and DS treated me to tea. DD made me a cuppa.

All in all aside the 215 miles driven, family time had, a NSD (aside the petrol).

Lol.

Happy Friday folks.

Did you all see the linky on Greying's thread for a £5 off £30 printable voucher for Mr L for this weekend sat/sun.

Huge thank you to Liltdiddylilt for the share. Linky here.

Liltdiddylilt - you're a star.

Sounds like you had an amazing day yesterday, Pippi, if tiring. How's your lurgy, is it banished, or back in force because of tiredness?

I hadn't quite realised what the Lidl thing was, by the way, so thanks for emphasizing - I've got it ready to print now, there's one in the town next door, and its right by an architectural salvage yard, weirdly, which is always good for a mooch around

Wik's hint on cheese spread! And yours, come to that - love it Have a good, tasty day (warm too!).

Hey KC - I'd no idea until I clicked the linkie.

clever lass combining trips.

Eyes are still sore but I only did half the driving yesterday. Legs not sore yet............

Cheese tips always welcomed. Can't bear to throw away cheese.

So lovely to take a wee food parcel and some bits through to DD she's really enjoying living in the middle of the city (although my driving skills were well challenged yesterday) mind on I do like driving in Edinburgh, I find it easier than Glasgow which is just so fast. Although that's not to say I didn't get spectacularly lost somewhere between Haymarket and the Meadows but we made it to the university halls *eventually*.

I guess its good to keep those skills up.

[Mooomin I waved, did you see me?]

I'm a serial bumpkin driver.



I'm off to attempt to put a belt on a washing machine and polish my 'girl power' badge.



Kettles on.

7 eggs today - although some of them might have been from yesterday......

Listypops time.

Fix washing machine and test it - sonic screwdriver to the ready
Banks
Cards
Freezer have a look and a shuffle and a think
Fridge (same)
Think if I can use the lidls voucher effectively (xmas treats, loo roll washing powder, shampoo, dug fud.......) £30 is a big spend even with £5 back.
Post a card to the birthday girl
Post stuff to DD that of course arrived when I was with her yesterday.
Garden stuff - tidying up and more plotting regarding veg patch, plant leeks and now its dried a bit sort **

**of course a neighbours 'pops in' when the garden looks like world war three' ach well.

Sure there's more but we'll see how that goes!

[Insert washing machine going round noises]

Put on for a quick wash with one pair of socks and plenty cleaning stuff to give machine a clean and see if its working properly.

Belt cost £7.45 but we're not out the trees unless it works.

You did it! Good for you **happy dance**

Do the socks still have soap all over them? Is the kitchen floor wet? xxx
