Morning! Just frost here, if you don't want your snow, send it down to me, I don't mind at all. I'm out to fetch some free insulation in a bit after a shower and a change and some breakfast. Pie filing made yesterday, rediscovered four mini quiche tins so I may use those to make individual ones. If not, they go to the charity shop.I'm afraid it's going to be suet pastry with them because it's cold, so there... I've been casting my beady eye over what is excess, not used or could be sold. Two cushions, a stool and a sewing machine will join them. Along with a couple of cat beds that were used, but are now obviously full of anti-cat matter because they no longer like them...Fire is on and it will stay like that. Other than the above, not much going on...

dp1, good luck. Coxy, fingers crossed for puppy.. And you have inspired me to make some kedgeree for breakfast, with smoked mackerel though, there's some in the fridge...Izzy, let's hope she stays like that Scarlet, hope yours goes OK too. Gers, well that's great, a bit of history saved. TA, naughty menu today? It IS cold... camelot, you should have some joy with them, they're usually pretty good..Shout out to the MIA, and hugs if you want them, take care, it's cold, wrap up, drink hot chocolate...maybe with some Christmas Baileys...

Morning all, another one in freezing land and I didn't want to get up out of bed today because I was nice and toasty. Today will be the same old decorating and apologies to Scarlet as it must be an infectious disease. Hope your DH gets on well and quickly with the painting. I did put the bins and recycling out last night then realised the I'd put the wrong one out so I had to bring it back up the steps,  that's not easy when it's as big as me, stupid girl. I think the gloss paint has addled my brain, oh well I'll sniff the pot again today.
Bella thanks, sadly I don't know anyone with a Blue Light Card, but I thought it was only for doing food shopping so that's opened my eyes a bit.
Gers well done on forward thinking re the blanket.
dp1 hope the MRI goes well today. I don't think I would cope as I do get claustrophobic in small spaces.
Right coffee break over I must get on, I'm getting the evil eye 😂
Take care all, stay safe if you have to go out.

Hi everyone,

I've had a couple of very rubbish nights sleep, worrying about family members going through a hard time. Nothing I can do though so it's not helpful.

Esben has gone reluctantly to nursery although he loves it when he is there, Esther is sleeping in Steve's arms so all is peaceful. I'm trying to meal plan before I go out to buy ingredients, mainly veg I think and milk which we go through like nobody's business.
We had a baked mushroom and broccoli risotto last night, I don't know if we're a greedy pack but I always increase the quantities in risotto recipes otherwise there never seems enough. Some sort of chicken casserole today I think.

We visited Ikea yesterday to but another storage cube thing for the study, we are still trying to fit a quart into a pint pot so I've been looking round to see where we can put extra storage without it making the place look too cluttered.

I've not seen nmlc for a while, did I miss a post about her going away?  I hope Mehefin, Nelski, Red Ruby, Jackie et al are ok.

Have a good day.

Snoozer - I checked and nmlc hasn't logged on since last Friday, and there's no mention of her being on leave.  I hope she's OK.
