Morning all. Very heavy overnight frost here so we might light the fire later. Trouble is it then gets far too hot sitting where we do.

We had a super night last night at the MK panto with Craig RH starring as Captain Hook. Hadn't been to a panto for many years but someone offered to book for a group of us and it was great fun. There was an excellent ventriloquist in the cast, none of whom I'd heard of

Today will be more mundane and I need to do a lot of cooking in preparation for a family meal here prior to DH's birthday. Also need to run round with the hoover etc.

Better get on with it then! Stay safe and warm everyone.

Good morning all 
Thank you for the start @Gers

Lovely and bright out but gosh it's cold.

Thank you for the recipe book suggestion @-taff I'll have a look.
Yesterday I had a stuffed pepper. Finished off a few mushrooms, couple of rashers of bacon, the last bit of cream cheese with some onion and cheddar cheese. Quite tasty.
Not sure what I'll eat today.

DP1 hope LO has a wonderful birthday.

TA pleased your starting to feel better.

Take care

Oops!  Happy Birthday to DP's brave and bright little one. 🎂💕

Good morning everyone!
Cold here too, cold everywhere by the sounds of it. ❄️

I treated myself to the heating on this morning when we woke up, I updated the meter readings a few days ago and I was thankfully still in credit so chucked the heating straight on. 

@snoozer do you still have the box for your puzzle? If you contact the company they should send you your missing piece if you can't find it. Just send them a picture and they'll send the piece out.

The kids had some amazon gift cards for christmas and those bits arrived today, so a fairly quiet one here (apart from the demand for batteries 🙄)

Got some tumble drying on, a cuppa, sorted my budget planning for the month, and chucked a loaf of no knead bread in the oven. 

Going to a local food share group later, so we will see what goodies are there and might go feed the ducks afterwards. Can't have them starving in this weather. 🦆

Need to chuck curry in the slowcooker before we go, and another wash on. 

So many bugs and lurgy going around. Stay safe out there (just stay home, nice and cosy)  🤣

Morning all, blimey it's real parky today, -2 at the moment and we already have the heating on for a bit. 
I did a load in the wm which needs putting away today now it's dry and the dw needs emptying too as I was too lazy tired to do it last night. 
I sorted the chest freezer and stores yesterday and decided that we have enough to last us a while so I only have a small sm delivery arriving this morning, mainly all fresh stuff like milk, eggs and f&v etc in case we get snow. Just been notified that the eggs are OOS and no subs available, oh well I still have a couple left but I'll have to forgo my dippy egg and toast soldiers !
Later DD is collecting me to go to our local retail park to exchange a top that I bought her for xmas and then maybe have a coffee. We were supposed to go yesterday afternoon but she had a poorly tummy so hopefully she's feeling up to it this afternoon, we'll see later.
Take care all, stay warm and well. Hugs to anyone in need.
