    I threw away a small packet of prawns because I took them out to defrost, then forgot about them. Other than that, I've been exemplery... :D;)

    Had the heating on all day at 30 c. Wish I could say that it feels even remotely tropical.

    Also just had a chicken pie cooking for 50mins before I realised I was microwaving it as opposed to having it on the oven setting (we have a microwave/oven combi thing so this isn't as stupid a mistake as it sounds - honest:o ). So then had to cook it for another 50mins, effectively cooking it twice. Turned out ok though.

    :o:o em... I had my dishwasher on four times today... but in my defence, I did loads of cooking and baking, and had it on fast wash each time (only took 35 minutes):o :o
    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.
