:mad: I am currently having the day from HELL :mad: will be around later to catch up with you all ..shame I haven't got any homebrew laying around :eek:

Hope you're ok!

The last time I made homebrew I had one glass of wine and thought I had a migraine. My mum had most of the bottle, slept on the floor and said it was the best nights sleep she'd ever had. I feel safer sticking to the kind you buy now.....

:rotfl: best homebrew as such I have ever tried was brought over by a neighbours austrian friend, some form of plum schnapps, they just chuck the fruit in a barrel from the sounds of it. Well a couple of glasses and I was away with the fairies, a local well known alcoholic who could drink anything usually & be fine had a few glasses and was found the next morning on the driveway outside his house, good stuff that :rotfl:

Right, tree is up, our first real tree.

Jamie your pantry looks great, I lost my pantry when we moved , utility has washer, one of the FF and a huge breakfast bar & chairs in so no space there. DP has taken over the garage (apart from where my huge FF is) but has said that he'll make a space for me to store a few things eventually, hasn't done so far of course.

D&DD big hugs, hope you're ok.

Yay for your first real tree!! keep it watered and you won't get the "fall out!"

i lost my pantry when we knocked through for a bigger kitchen. Not sure what I prefer now. My childhood was spent with a pantry. I think I miss that..

Sitting here with a large vat of coffee and opened a tin of heroes :rotfl:

Thanks Morwenna I feel like I've been run over by a bus tonight I'll have to trek to Tesco's or Asda's tomorrow for his strawberries..just can't spare the time really as there's so much else to do but needs must !!:D

I've written up a cooking plan for tomorrow so may be able to sneak out while the chicken for dinner is cooking..I plan to get up early and do the brownies,muffins and rolls for packed lunches first.Then I'll get all the veg prepped for dinner(at teatime) and feed them lunch then stick the chicken on before I do a runner to Mr T's..I can finish the dinner when I get back and stick the breadmakers on in the meantime... should work out ok..just need to fit the ironing and washing in,in between :rotfl: oh and the rest of the xmas decorating Anyone got a spare pair of hands or three...
