I had a mad idea.... make my own hummus... two packs of chickpeas soaked and cooked. I have the seasame seed thing in, but no lemon or olive oil. So when I do get these, and make humous what the heck am I going to do with the rest of the huge pan of flipping chickpeas (I am eye up the soup....)

I need to go to bed.

We were woken at about 2.30am with the landline phone ringing .....Mr TM ran to get it but it went off. He rang back but whoever it was didn't pick up, By this time we were both wide awake.

An hour later, Oswald came in and wrapped himself around my head like a black velvet turban and purred like a pneumatic drill in my ear. I don't think I got back to sleep:o

Hope you sleep better tonight x

Don't be sorry about waffling, that's what we are here for, I done exactly the same last week-
I found it very uplifting with all the likes, comments and virtual hugs.
Sending you big hugs x

Do you know it is lovely to belong to the Elite family when I refreshed the page on my laptop I saw how many thanks my post got saying DD2 had passed her Masters degree. Thank you all and for all the lovely replies too. :A

It means so much I can share the good news but equally that I know I can share the bad if I need to...

Fernie sending you hugs, waffle away, I hope things get easier for you and your family and your MIL. xx

Cooked chick peas will freeze SSM, Mr TS often does a big batch when he makes hummus. He sometimes makes a spicy chick pea stew with them or more hummus.

Was just about to say that. A little oil, some salt on, and bung 'em in the oven.

DH has behaved himself today :T

There was enough lamb left over from yesterday for two shepherds pies, so one eaten and one in the freezer for next week.

I haven't behaved myself, think I might have defrocked myself at whoopsie time. Those yellow stickers hypnotised me. :eek:

I spent just over £11, came back with enough food for Mr TS to ask did I use the £4 off £30 spend till split he got the other day. :rotfl:

Afraid I was tempted by the apple pie, cherry pie, oreo donuts, Cadbury caramel donuts, almond croissants, cherry bakewell Danish and the large GU lemon cheesecake. If I live closer to LEJC I would share my spoils.

I also got 750g beef mince for 90p, a finest family sized lasagne for £2.10 (don't think I could have made it for that ), 2 lots of pork and chilli min pies from the deli must be around 6 in each pack.

Few bits of fruit and veg too. :cool:

I have frozen as much as I can, if we had nothing else in it would have easily fed us all week but I already had enough in if I am honest.

I only went for carrots as we had run out.
