Sweet paprika is basically the normal (and cheaper) stuff, as opposed to the spanish smoked paprika you would use for paella

Thankyou - I've just checked my jar of 'paprika' and it says it's made from sweet paprika so I have the right stuff in. I also have green pepper, caraway seeds, onion etc. and some stewing beef in the freezer so can make it all from what's in - that will be what we have for dinner tonight!

I'll let you know how I get on..

ChasingButterflies

A Huge congratulations to Johanne, Johanne's OH, Auntie Nicki and Sarah's big cousin! also whispers welcome to Sarah :j

MOAM - ty that brought a huge grin to my face when it was much needed.

Nothing done yet - I normally do a couple of hours when we get back from MIL & FIL's (friday night) but we opened a bottle of wine and got sloshed instead (It doesn't happen that often so only takes a bottle!) I slept better than I have in ages, DH has taken the little people swimming with instructions that I have to have coffee in the travel mugs by the time they get back. Need to go get kids feet measured and some birthday pressies for the parties tomorrow.

I suppose I could go strip the kids beds while I have 5 mins - catch you all later and have a great day *waves*

Morning ladies, had a lovely night out with hubby last night. Not a late one though as i still feel utterly crap. Was sooo close to asking the taxi driver to turn round and take me home when we were on the way to the restaurant because i thought i was going to be sick:o Glad we went though as the restaurant was fab:D
Not doing any flying today, just some dailies then working tonight.
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

OH phoned for a 'natter' just as I started the room, talk about great timing :rolleyes: anyway it's done now and took me less than 10 minutes all in all I cleaned whilst he nattered lol "huh huh"...."aye"...."yeah"...."huh huh"....."aye" great convo skills I've got

Feel rotten though, my back is going mad as is my stomach and head, feel all sickly sweaty too, I've just flung a plastic chair into the porch cause I was sick of tripping over it and bashed the washer cause it's playing up again.....AF is imminent....LOL

Morning all

Two loads of washing out on the line, it's lovely and mild here, breezy and quite bright.

Took the dog for a longer walk and she managed well but is very tired now.

Made a cottage pie for tea tonight.

Got a headache now

Dustykitten

Back from town - cycled there it was lovely.

What does it come to when you pass a neighbour repairing a pothole in the road themselves because they are sick of waiting for the council to come out and do it?

Boddy glad Jake is back - how long had he been gone?
Bargainbird don't go back to smoking hun you have done fab, have a hug instead

Time for tea and cake and then to see if the first wash is dry to get the second one out.

Need to sew the cricket whites before the match at 12:30 too!
