Well, I'm slowly starting to feel better after a horrific beginning of the week - it's still blocked and draining, but I've actually had some sleep :j .

Well, I cooked up some BBQ chicken drumsticks - only problem was I had a bit of an accident with the allspice - they tasted mostly of cinamon :rolleyes: Going to use the chicken thighs today - thought I might try making a sorta fajita type taste - if anyone understands that lol. I also cooked the massive full chicken we bought yesterday - dad's going to carve that, and I'm gonna see how many dinners I can get out of this one - and make stock for the first time ever

Mum's due back home tomorrow, so I thought I might make a chicken and leek pie, with red cabbage and apple, found recipes last night, they don't look *that* difficult! Just trying to work out what to bake it in to be honest - I don't have a pie dish....

That's it for me - have a good day all x

Morning all,

Beautiful day here, good to see you back frogga, Odds where are you ?

Amie, Did you do the blackberry vodka ? and did you get my pm ?

At work again today, very busy catching up after my two weeks off, no one does any of my work whilst I am off, so sepnd the following two weeks catching up :rolleyes:

Shopping being delivered tonight, Pork steaks in a bbq sauce tonight, with risotto and peas.

Had a quick swipe round this morning so house is not so bad.
Going to make the mars vodka at the weekend, can't wait to try that one,

Happy birthday to those celebrating :j

Right - I have done an hours ironing, all clean clothes ironed. DH has dusted lounge and is now hoovering through. I've also started tidying my bedroom - disaster zone from emptying caravan, should look better by end of today after this start.

Amie had problems getting onto the site yesterday and had to have her passwords re-set so may not have got her PM's

Good morning everyone :hello:

Happy Birthday Purple Princess

Redruby - your dinner sounds delicious

Glad to see you're back Frogga

Good luck Crazychik

DH is in the doghouse this morning - I made a lovely lamb stew and dumplings yesterday, DD and DH had it for tea - I went out with the girls for a curry - instead of being a good boy and putting what was left in the fridge - DH left it out and I've had to throw it away :mad:

On a brighter note DD went back to Brownies last night - and was made a Seconder :dance: I am so proud

I managed to stick a load in the WM before I came to work this morning, so I need to stick it on the line when I get home. I also need to put another loaf in the BM as we're all out of bread. Will continue knitting my scarf tonight - as it's only knit stitch I find it quite therapeutic (sp?)

Got all my ironing done last night before I went out, but when the other loads dry there be more :rolleyes:

I ordered Nigella Express (£9.99 from the Book People and free delivery ) and it arrived yesterday morning (just as I was leaving for work :rolleyes: ) - when I got in I had a cup of tea and a quick flick through - some of the recipes look great

Anyway I'm rambling now - huge (((((hugs))))) all round.

Ooh - has anyone noticed the titles have changed above your stars - I'm a Money Saving Nerd now (lol!!)

Right I'll try again. First attempt resulted in stupid computer crashing:mad:

Anyway, I went to see Cats last night - free tickets! It was brilliant!

Hoping to make a banana bread this evening - providing I have enough left and Mum hasn't eaten one!

Happy Birthday purpleprincess but I believe she's away travelling with her bf at the mo

Got a work meeting this evening which I'm sure will be dull!

Hope everyone's ok - better to get back to work!

There's a thread about it HERE in the Arms.

I have moved house and had a job - then left it and now am a stay at home mum again. I am however trying to start my own eco home cleaning business.

Must get back to OS again as i miss all the folk on here and the satifaction that I got from implementing the ideas and stuff given on here.

I have not been well (depression) and that is why I could not stay in the job I was in - but I need to get well again and some of that is contacting people even by email!

My bankruptcy is over and I am discharged so we have no debt but money is tight - especially with one wage coming in.

Just rambling now so I will go.

Hugs to all

Louise
