Bless you, mummytummy, though this is only little ol me. Incidentally, how are things going in Oz, are you safe?
safe and sound thank you Sue-UU, we have had a few bushfires and I have been detoured a couple of times going to or coming from work, quite scary when you see how quick they flare up, the fire services and helicopter pilots are amazing and alot are volunteers who risk their lives, the smell of smoke can carry for miles. We had one really close to home last february where we had to evacuate the area and watched from a distance...

sue I use this recipe for my veg and noodle soup ;
Fry 1 chopped onion, 1 garlic clove crushed and 1 red chilli deseeded and finely chopped in a tbsp of sesame oil for 5 mins.
Add 1 large cubed carrot, 7oz of frozen peas, 7oz frozen sweetcorn and 1 1/2 pints of vegetable stock. simmer for 5 mins then add 2 packets of super noodles (I normally use Tesc* value ones) but DON'T add the flavour sachet. Simmer for 5 mins then add a teaspoon of dried coriander, salt and pepper. Serves 4. If it is too thick you can add more veg stock til it suits your taste.Debt free as of 29.10.2020 🎉😁

Gosh - we had a real thunder and lightening storm last night, really lighting up the whole room :eek: I sat watching it for ages before it calmed down enough for me to go to bed.
Feel back in my comfort zone now I'm back to potting my £7 on a Friday :T
Looks like most peoples are doing well on the potting as well and welcome all the new peoples - hope you enjoy being on the Fred.
Are you feeling any better yet Sue-UU or are you still on the anti-bugs ?? I'm keeping my fingers xd I don't get the lurgy this year and eating loads of grapefruit.
Hope you all have a super Saturday

Four £2 coins potted today - these never go in my holding pot as I won't spend them.
Update re ring.
I said that I had found my ring on her bed, she said that she had been trying it on and meant to return it.
I spent a lot of time yesterday and today sorting her room out. I put clean bedding on (gave it her days ago), hoovered, and I cleared two more drawers for her clothing and belongings. She was very appreciative.
However, she was not happy that one of her t shirts had turned pink. I said that she had put her washing in the machine, all I did was put the liquitab in and turned it on. She had put a white shirt in with other clothes and pink towels! Apparently I should have checked as she's not good at that sort of thing.
