That's a coincidence, I have a huge, free range organic chicken for today's roast - most expensive chicken I've ever bought, so expections are high. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

I may as well try my most expensive cheddar tonight. I made it last March and it has been maturing nicely in my "cave" Taking into consideration the cost of the kit ( I haven't made any more since ) it works out over £100 per kilo :eek:

Did you pay full price for the chicken :eek::eek: Hope the cheddar turns out well, have never even considered making cheese!

Good morning shipmates :wave:

Hugs to HILLBERN :A Please look after yourself

My legs are stiff this morning, must be due to spending 2 hours up a stepladder in the garage, replacing a single light socket with an LED strip light. I thought it would take 30 minutes, but there's always unexpected complications when I do DIY

How on earth did that take 2 hours :rotfl::rotfl:

I'm not cooking dinner today, we are out for dinner, all free

As for chicken, we rather like the cook in the bag ones you get from Lidl (stock up when I see them 30% off), they really do taste quite nice and the method eliminates washing up

Good morning.

Hillbern, sorry you've had such a rough time. Who's house is it you stay at when you go baby sitting? I thought it was your sons until you said you slept on an air bed. :eek:

Gusto didn't disappoint again last night, we had burritos yum yum.
Tonight is chicken tray bake, all I've added is some extra chicken but I stand corrected the portions are plenty big enough. Tbh I think I still cook the same amount as when dd was at home but I usually have some left over which I take to work the next day. As I said to sunflower last night as we exchanged food photos, if only we could always get them at this price we would never need to shop :rotfl:

Yes I am at my sons, but they live in a 1 bedroom apartment, (I couldn't live like it) but it works at the moment for them and its a very friendly area.
I have a mattress on the floor in the lounge not ideal but I put up with it...
I had an areo mattress which was great but that's got a leak and I haven't had time to check it out and mend it...so son bought 1 from t directhad that 1 night that went down sent back refunded as faulty, so at the mo I have a deflated 1/2 price cheapy from t...really comfy when air in it, so I have that to check out and hopefully mend...as we cant keep collecting inflatable mattresses :rotfl:

Morning paw sniffers:D

So sorry to hear your news Hillbern. I suspected there was something up when you hadn't posted for a little while:o
It sounds like the death of your friend has knocked you for six and being ill yourself you just don't cope in the way you would if you were ok:o
I honestly don't know how you cope with all the long distance driving. Your life is a million miles an hour:o Hope you take some time to make a full recovery before you start up again:A

Hugs to you and mr hillbilly x

youre very perceptive and spot on, but I feel I don't do much compared with many elites, I feel im lazy really
