Morning everyone, nice and clear hear-but a bit blustery.We have a tradition in our local area where we go up Rivington Pike on Good Friday- although i don't think i will today as have found out i have a kidney infection and not the lurgy as i thought the other day. Feeling ok though! Does anyone else have any Good Friday traditions?

Not really a tradition but I won't be eating any meat today, just fish but OH had his mate from work staying over last night and they are planning bacon sarnies for breakfast:mad: DS's are off to cinema today then a burger so I guess its only me who will be sticking to the rules...doesnt seem worth getting the fryer out for one...think I will just have fish fingers and chips.

Also dedicating my Good Friday to the cause of washing and ironing...who would be a woman!

Need to get sorted though ready for party night thread tonight..how sad am I looking forward to that xx it does round my week off nicely though with a good laugh.

windy here. I'm going to have a go at making some hot cross buns later as I've got all the ingredients in the house.

I'll be AQA'ing from around lunch, going to take my boy out in a bit, then stick dinner in the SC, then start work.

Nice that I'm getting holiday pay for today from my new job, but I need to also do AQA - can't forget my 'main' job is only 18 hours!

Also tempted to have a go at making a mega big wagon wheel. I've found a recipe for making one.

After all of yesterday's exciting news I wonder what today will bring!

SNOWING???? We're only half an hour down the road from you bun and it's glorious sunshine here! :eek:
Plan for the day is to take the girls to a playbarn type place with SIL and one of Ste's work mates.
This evening I've got my training party for my AS which'll be good fun...

I never eat meat on Good Friday either, and also have hot cross buns.

I think it will be a good idea
would slow it down a bit whilst everyone think of one.

I feel I might have a strange addiction to buying and hording tins of pulses.

I've just realised I can't see any tinned tomatoes in the cupboard, so I thought I'd haul the tins out to find any tins lurking at the back.

I've just pulled out

9 tins of baked beans
4 tins of butter beans
4 tins of chick peas
5 tins of cannelini beans
2 tins of pinto beans
1 tin of kidney beans
Whole unopened bag of dried pulses for soup mix
Whole bag of dried pearl barley

but no tomatoes - which is bizarre as I've normally got about 8 cans!!!

It was worse, yesterday I used a tin of lentils in dinner, threw away a bag of dried and very out of date aduki beans and I've just added a can of cannelini beans (not in the list above!) to the slow cooker!

When I do the shopping with OH's monthly contribution, I always stick a load of each in as storecupboard items, but I think I've overstocked!!!

I'm now off to look at the list I've got with Asda at the moment for delivery at the beginning of April and I think I'll remove all the tins of pulses and swap for something else!!

EDIT: I'm just removing

5 tins of chick peas
2 tins of pinto beans
3 tins of butter beans
7 (!) tins of baked beans

from the shopping trolley.........
