Ooh that frittata sounds lush
I got loads of food delivered yesterday , but have zero appetite, not even for garlic dip :eek:
I bought Xmas cards the other day, but cba writing them yet.Not feeling Xmasy at all this year.
I need a metaphorical boot up the arris:rotfl:

It is good but didn't fancy it even though it would have used a lurking courgette. Going for the pasty option with peas & corn. It's a very cold, dark night, I cba any prep and I want some stodge:o
I think I'll feel more Christmassy when my younger son arrives on the 19th and we get the decorations up.

PS- I'll boot yours if you'd give me a much needed one in return:rotfl:

Just had summat light - of cheesy toast and tomatoes. Dinner was at lunchtime today - meal out with one of my dance groups and at a restaurant I'd been wanting to try. Some wine might have been consumed. So that was my second Christmas meal out this week (earlier in week a solo one with a friend).

Just a "coffee (and maybe cake)" tomorrow with another friend after dance thing in the morning.

First party invite lined-up for next year.

Have come to conclusion I've obviously met no-one and done nothing since moving to Wales:rotfl::rotfl: - but come to conclusion it is "the land of song" here.

Early night lined-up tonight - as I need my energy back for tomorrow's dance group in the morning - after lunch out with my new group of dance friends and an impromptu trip by some of us to watch a film afterwards.

Sounds like a great day Money today and another one tomorrow:D

Brambling

I find for most jars a good shake downwards will break the seal. If not I try it with rubber gloves on as that gives a good grip or I hit the lid hard in the middle with the handle of a knife or spoon. There is sometimes swearing involved which helps :rotfl: I do have a jar of lazy garlic I can't get into and keep forgetting to ask any visiting males to try

I've been tired and a little grumpy today, aches and pains are affecting my already c*ap sleep pattern I may have expressed my feelings a little strongly with one of our finance team today it was justified but I think I surprised her as I usually bite my tongue. My manager agreed with me after she left, although it could have been he was too scared not to:rotfl:

Not sure if any of you buy a whole chicken but M & S have a third off at the moment and I picked up a small one which will do me 4 meals and soup for £2.33 with enough to keep his lordship happy with the scraps . They are obviously trying to complete with some of the other supermarkets with a kilo of carrots and parsnips 40p each and 2 kilos of potatoes 40p I may see if my sister wants to split some.

Lunch was soup again and dinner a quick and easy jacket potato with LO coleslaw and grated cheese.

Work Christmas lunch tomorrow, not a grand affair as there will only be 15 of us, local steak house so I've avoided the turkey and ordered a sirloin and a half day off work :T

I have tried the PN method but had problems, then found a made for job lever thingy in local shop for assisted living aids, same as the one here. Sturdy plastic with chunky grip for my bent no grip fingers

I need to get that. My husband bought me home some gloves from work that are meant to open jars, but they sometimes don't work.:mad:

An exceptionally rubbish tea for me today... A par-baked baguette and butter.

I just had a terrible breakfast, a crisp sandwich.

I stepped on the scales this morning and I have lost 2 more pounds, so 13 pounds lost now. I think it's because I'm exercising.:)

That's what I'll be calling it in future.

I've been pawing through my recipes/ideas/thoughts collection. So many are dropped in there, then promptly forgotten, but I do just use it as a "dip in for ideas" collection, rather than an actual recipe collection. It's like having another person giving me ideas that I'd actually like... which might then remind me of something I COULD have....

If that makes sense.

I've been gathering/tagging my Xmas2018 ideas. I'll probably find/tag 100 fab ideas .... then do 0-1 of them in reality. But it's nice to look at pictures... and remember old favourites I'll never get round to making.
