Evening!
I was away at the weekend so haven't planned out my meals for this week and ended up buying lunch at work. I had a cheese and tomato banjo - it seemed like a square of flaky pastry folded around some cheese and sliced tomato. It was really lovely but I'm sure it must be very easy to make - does anyone know how, are there any tricks? The thought of making pastry strikes fear into my heart! I looked it up on the bbc food website but probably far too simple, or far too Somerset, for inclusion.
House looks like a bombsite. Left OH tidying on Friday when I went away. He told me tonight that he's no good at tidying without me - don't know if that is supposed to be a complement!Still, start shorter Tuesdays tomorrow at work so hopefully that will help me get on top of it.

Morning all

great start to the day - bread is mouldy so i can't make packed lunches, so we will all have to buy food out. I hate that. :mad: I may pop to the cooplands or something in my free time rather than use the school canteen, but then i will end up wasting more time. Will make that decision when i see how i am getting on.
We also have snow here. I am hoping the car park has been gritted at the nursery as the last severe frost nearly made me fall, and i don't want a bruise to rival pigpens.
See you all this evening. Hope i have a better day than it has started.
