hope you are feeling better soon.
chicken liver and bacon pate is great too... if you're not a veggie all free. I'm going to cook Moroccan lamb tagine for tonight. There will be plenty left to freeze because i'll be the only one to eat it

Really? Have you got the recope for it?
Went into work with my thigh slathered in deep heat - they didn't mind but did wonder what the smell was

Garlic ( to taste )and an onion fried in fry light,
500mg chicken livers 50p in Mr M for 250g tub. About 6 rashers lean bacon (fat trimmed) fried with the onion garlic mix until cooked (5-10mins)

blend with 2 desert spoon quark. Use a little more if needed. add Salt and pepper.

serve with toasted wholemeal (B choice or I used dark ryvita as i'm off bread) Also serve with red wine

Hi MrsP, a bit late but catching up on diaries and spotted the tax payment question... I can pay ahead of time in small chunks via the online gateway, but decided not to as I may as well earn interest on that money for as long as possible... I'd set a reminder for maybe the 20th Jan or so and forget about it til then

I might just wait then. Hubby has now given me this years tax allowance if his dad's advanced inheritance so I've got £15K to play with.
I've put £1K in my regular savings account. I'm going to donate £1K to a charity that's very special to me. Need to pay off credit card bill from Croatia and pay for car tax for the next year.
Hubby had idea of opening a S&S ISA and putting £1K in it so I can invest in 10 funds and learn how it works that way. Yes getting about £100-200 interest a month on his - he's got a lot in it though.

So what to do with the other, what, £10K? Maybe another 123 account? Need to set up 2 DD to get the interest though. Any suggestions for super cheap DD?

If you open a tesco bank account you can have it DD money from another of your accounts. This is quite a rare option. Very useful in this scenario, then maybe a £1 charity DD for the other?

Yeah I was thinking about £1 charity DDs. Didn't know the Tesco one - will have to have a look at that.

Good work on the run! Was that 10k for 1h 03? I trained for a 10k after DD2 and Ive just started running again, but not brave enough to sign up for a 10k yet. Ive opened a Tesco account a few days and it only took about 10 mins, it was scarily easy.

The 01:03 was for a 5 mile road race. I've got an off-road 10K today and im anticipating it to be anywhere between 01:15 and 01:30. Which is very slow even for me but I've come to learn that I don't like off-road
