    Good morning (just) :wave:

    Not sure entirely where the day is running away too today. like to say I had done loads but that would be a lie more like sluggish sunday mode activated.

    Saying that I have stuck my monster ham from Christmas in the slow cooker and gave it a two litre bottle of coke so that can brew all day. will some slices tonight with new potatoes and veg. planning on making a split pea and ham soup with it tomorrow and then slice the rest up for freezer portions.

    had a lovely last minute lunch out with a friend yesterday she is having some man problems so we attempted to sort that out and the rest of the worlds problems whilst enjoying a lazy lunch :D

    Sunday brunch of course today with my second favourite chef ...haven't been that impressed with his food today but still pleasant to watch.

    need to use the commercial break time a bit more effectively today so that I can catch up with stuff I missed whilst cleaning the kitchen :cool: Watched a fab documentary last night about how they built the Shard...strange I know but the feat of engineering was just amazing. back to normal trash today though with 4 in a bed and hotel inspector

    Right best crack on ...so much to watch so little time :)
  • Good morning all & Thanks for starting us off dumpling.

    Dumpling, sorry Becky is having a tough time but with your help & support I am positive things will get better.

    A bit chilly here as well so I am putting the heating on now - Done:) & having a large mug of tea:)

    Have weighed out the ingredients for a Focaccia & once that is mixed & proving, I will make an apple & frozen berry crumble, also need to stock up the biccie tin, so coconut cookies I think:undecided

    Then I think I will get my DH to bring all our clothes downstairs & we can sort while we watch the rugby - the one game in the series that we support different teams - DH England & MrsSD Italy:) Our mementos from holidays consist of T-Shirts & fridge magnets. We own t-shirts that are over 20 years old:eek:

    Will report later on successes:) or non- successes:(

    Have a good day everyone

    MrsSD

    Complete success on the baking front:j
    Also made leek & potato soup which went really well with the Focaccia :drool:

    Didn’t watch the rugby but I lost as per usual:(

    About 2/3rds of our clothes are now downstairs & my DH’s pile is twice as large as mine:eek:I believe it will end up being 3 times as large as mine.:eek:
    Not looking forward to sorting out though but once done there should be lots of Rag bags & donations to cs:)

    Have a good night & hopefully a good sleep everyone.

    MrsSD:)
