Have you tried asking on In My House or on the I Wanna forum?

Not forgetting to use the links for Kelkoo and Pricerunner in the blue bar at the top of the page...?

Jo - I had salmon for dinner last night. I steamed it in a bamboo steamer over a pan of water for about 10 mins. On top of the fish I places some thick slices of garlic, chilli and spring onion as well as a wedge of lemon.

To serve I cooked some noodles in the pan of boiling water creating the 'steam', drizzled with toasted sesame oil when done and added a few more raw spring onions, chopped, along with a generous squeeze of lemon juice. I can recommend it. While I'm thinking about it, I should ahve steamed the other fillet at the same time to have cold with salad tonight...........oh well. I can't be 100% organised all the time lol

Today I am performing slightly better than yesterday. I think the iced coffee from starbucks is helping :beer:

Anyway, golfing tonight and I am currently trying out the new johnson's product, which is a moisturiser that works to build up a 'natural' fake tan. So far so good - very soft skin, but no colour change. will keep you updated.

TM - I hope that your DS2 is OK about his fish. I like your idea of them going on a holiday :rotfl:

When our goldfish were floating on their backs I swore blind that they "were sleeping" and would have woken up by the time they got back from school - they did but seemed to look slightly different!:eek:


Got a real bargain of a school jumper for £1 (instead of £16) for dear daughter and got some books by favourite author fron charity shop for 30 pence each.

afternoon all at work again all day, so no o/s yet - but those everyday biscuits are sitting waiting to cook in the fridge

Am in a mad rush with work :eek: (but at least I still have my job with all the redundancy scare here).

Has anyone heard from Queenie recently?

Hi :hello: i am new to these boards...........although i have been lurking for quite a while but have now plucked up the courage to join you all.

I do read most of the boards but i have to admit that O/S is my absolute favourite....:D

Thanks to you guys we purchased a bread maker the other week and boy! am i glad i did... have a loaf on as i 'speak'........our favourite a granary loaf :drool:
Also used it over a couple of days to make some raspberry jam.....as we have loads growing this year......have frozen some and couldn't decide what to do with others........until i got the bread maker that is........... the jam tastes absolutely delicious, especially on freshly baked home made loaf... :drool:

I think i am going to enjoy it on here.......... ta ta for now :wave:

Afternoon all - After getting up at some stupid hour this morning to start work for 7am I'm absolutly shattered. Had 3 little ones today and they've all been on good form. All left half an hour ago so I've plonked my bum on a chair for half an hour with a cup of tea.......we did manage to make some cakes this morning (not easy with 3 under 3) but that's about it for today - dinner is homemade pies from the freezer with oven chips and peas and then a glass of wine and a deep bath............bliss

I won't even think about the "doing it all again tomorrow"......
