I have LOTS of courgettes, kale and runner beans from Dad's garden so have been looking for some recipes . . . . also a bit confused re info about freezing them - any advice? Ta

Don't know about the courgettes (treat like marrow ?) and kale. Runner beans I prep entirely, simmer for 2/3 mins and blanch in iced water. I then roughly dry on kitchen paper, pack in portion sizes and freeze. When using I drop in boiling water and cook about ten minutes - HTH

Woo! Have achieved all of this without realising. We had a new tumble dryer delivered today and I scrubbed the whole kitchen out in anticipation of delivery.

Yes, Kirsty Allsop, I have a tumble dryer in my kitchen and I'm not even remotely sorry.

Haha chuckled at your last sentence - mine too. And to add insult to injury, mines a combined washer / dryer lol.

Well, all is quiet here, apart from the TV. Kiddies are fed and ready for bed. Kitchen is cleaned after dinner, with just my tea cup to go in the DW before I set it going.

We managed to get out for furries food, plus kiddies helped clean the hutch out before we set them back in for the night. Even the piggies have "helped" today be eating a couple of dandelions :rotfl:

Dad popped in and reminded me I could do the online check-in already, and get the boarding cards on my phone. So I've done that, and also taken screen shots of the QR images just in case technology fails us at the boarding gate :eek:

While we were out, we picked up a new school bag and water bottle for DD, think we are sorted now - will need to check the length of her jogging bottoms for winter pe but that can wait a month or two.

Oh, I treated myself to a new floor duster thingy for the new hallway floor that shows up every speck of dust...

• Clean the fridge.. it is smelly!!

You were right, Natty - I hang my head in shame: a decomposing courgette and a mouldy piece of cooked beetroot have found their way from the kitchen fridge into the compost bin, and a red cabbage wrapped in plastic that has been sitting in the utility fridge for some time now, apparently minding its own business, turned out to be so grossly decomposed that it has gone straight into the dustbin. I hate wasting food so am very cross with myself :mad:

But at least all is now clear for the big shop tomorrow. I'm not buying red cabbage this week :cool:

I'd like to pick more blackberries tomorrow, if I have time...

The assignment is really getting me down, and I haven't even finished the first part of four yet I feel so drained that I'm afraid I'm about to start another 3-day migraine but I really hope not!

I'm in - even if I only manage Level 1 each day. Thanks so much for this thread, I love it 😍

Worktops and kitchen window cleaned - rain rain rain here so just did the inside

Spent half hour clearing out 'paperwork bundle' and have a bag full to take and hide in confidential waste at work tomorrow

Bloke didn't make it out to measure kitchen, he wants to come at lunch time tomorrow - hopefully I'll manage away from work to let him in

Valli

I'm going down the West Country to arr like a pirate and don't know if I'll have an internet connection.
