Busy couple of days here with uni and general life stuff. I got my exam results yesterday and gor 87% for the Policing module and 77% each for the Criminal Law and Criminological Theories modules respectively. Am feeling very proud of myself and it was worth all the hard work and lack of a life over Christmas and early January.

:j:jwell done SG definitely worth the hard slog

dinner was using LOs from the fridge I made a tomato and bean 'stew' with bacon, spring onions, pepper and courgette, sun dried tomato's and stirred in a teaspoon of tahini it turned out very tasty but my LOs generated LOs not a full portion but I made too much for one meal when I add a bread roll

LOs from LOs sounds familiar:rotfl:. "Stew" sounds good and has put in the notion for something similiar tonight:).


How frustrating Wednesday:mad::mad:, MP next if the councillor doesn't step up and sort it.


Good morning everyone,

Hope those in stormy areas have the hatches battened down, it's due to get windy here in the early hours of tomorrow morning. It's not too bad a day here, reasonably mild and a bit of sunshine mixed with heavy showers.

My oomph is returning in dribs and drabs but not fast enough for my liking! I have managed to get a few chores done this morning which is an improvement, though still could sleep for Scotland. Ended up with pasta with mushrooms and the savoury mince from the freezer last night which was all I cba making. Soup and a corned beef & pickle roll for lunch and some sort of beany stew for dinner tonight.

It's very windy here, I keep hearing things crash around outside! It's nice and sunny and bright, though.

I don't know, I'm not very tech-minded.:rotfl:

I had that last night, although down here we missed most of it.... thank goodness. I HATE storms - and especially when they're in the dark/overnight and you can't go and see what's happening out there, it's just a deep, dark, solid black, void of nothingness.... and noises.

I've had some green tea and an apple. I'm making leek and potato soup just now for lunch.:A

I'm going to have black bean wraps for dinner.

It was exactly like that when I let the dogs out this morning as it was still dark. I think it is a kid's play equipment crashing around out there.

Congrats SG on your results

PN, excess milk = Angel Delight?

Brambling, nice sunny weather on it's way to you today, windy old night though, and apparently tonight & tomorrow is awful, at least the rain will help put out the Ocado warehouse in Andover that's burning down:D

Usual porridge for Breakfast

Into town for top up stuff mainly, but did find YS 400g lean mince 50% off down to £1.25, it was on offer and then YS on top:j
Bought 25p packet of beetroot seeds, making a start ready for the go garden button

Also found YS free range bacon pack in W/r, that is lunch for next few days sorted

Lunch was grilled YS bacon, in BLT baguette

I've made a savoury mince thingy for tonight, using the YS mince plus a bit past it carrots, onions, celery, some YS spuds and mushrooms I bought especially this morning

Just remembered I forgot to bung in some of last years toms I froze, never mind, I expect it will taste just fine, smells nice even now, it's in my no longer manky cast iron pot in the oven, pot getting manky again:(

I may pop some dumplings on top if I think of it in time

Did a very mini spot of gardening, cat had oiked a daff up, moved it & replanted, ignored the gifts left by cat:eek: The rain will sort that out

I'm absolutely full to bursting tonight. Have been to my Friend's birthday Afternoon Tea, n omg it was amazing. A million times better, than any I've ever had in cafes etc:D No CFO for me tonight :rotfl:

Good evening everyone
Sounds like a good "do" CG:)

I don't mind storms and find listening to the wind howling while I'm safe and warm indoors quite comforting. Just as well given the part of the world I live in:cool:.
Beany stew concoction tonight made with odds of veg from the fridge, some charlotte spuds, smoked sausage, chilli flakes and passatta made from last year's toms. Needless to say there are LOs:).

Late good evening from me

It's my youngest nephews' birthday today so family trip for pizza tonight, his choice it was a bit of a rush as I was later home from work than I planned even through I kept telling my senior manager all week that I wouldn't be able to stay late tonight so he had better get the data to me on time to meet deadlines, I don't think he believed me as I would usually stay, I did finish just before I had to leave :cool: but he knew I wasn't happy :mad: to be honest I think they all knew :rotfl: Then to add insult to injury rushing to empty the kitchen bin when I got home the bottom fell out of the full bag :eek: I hadn't planned to clean the kitchen floor tonight .

Moaning aside It was nice to spend family time and my sister had made a lovely chocolate birthday cake, pizza followed by rich chocolate cake :eek: rennie anyone :rotfl:

Hope you're feeling better Caronc and anyone else whose not feeling 100%

A very early good morning from me.

Thank you for the congrats on my exam results. I've got a week before I have to start on essays again and I'm making the most of it watching box sets on the tv, reading fiction books instead if text books, knitting socks and general relaxing things

It sounds wild and windy out there but I'm another who likes being snuggled up warm and cosy in bed listening to it. I have no plans or need to go out today and will be happy to stay put.

I'll probably have breakfast of Lidl weetabix as I'm awake so early. Am fancying pancakes for lunch and tonight is tuna pasta bake. A bit of a throwback to my childhood but no doubt will be tasty. Plus it's very easy to make and I'll have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

Caron Glad you're starting to feel better.

Rambling Sounds like a fab birthday tea even if a bit rich. Eat veggies today to make up for it :rotfl:

I'm never short of what I can do with milk - it's whether I fancy it

I've used 1/4 pint yesterday. Tomorrow probably I'll make a giant Yorkshire because today I am making ..... sausage casserole

I'll probably serve the casserole with mashed spuds and peas today .... and a giant Yorkie tomorrow...

Casserole is a pack of sausages, rolled into 24 balls, 2 small onions, most of a 500g pack of carrots (uses those up), 2/3rds of a tin of beans that were in the fridge/opened yesterday and an Asda packet mix.

I'd got it into my mind to get round to making a sausage casserole, using a mix, so I'd deliberately bought the mix before Xmas, so it was in the cupboard. With the same thought in mind I'd bought a pack of sausages 2-3 weeks ago, but then never fancied it, so had frozen those.

I often do that.... I'm also happy to add further things while something's cooking... especially in the SC as I can nuke it up to speed and chuck things in half cooked/hot

,,,, tuna pasta bake....

That's another on my "must get round to" list - which is, in part, why I picked up four cans of tuna two weeks ago...
