    I'm back from work!!

    Took the dog for a paddle, it was very hot.

    Had my shopping delivered from Asda and have had to call them as all 3 tubs of braising steak had today's date on them. They were fine though and refunded me - if they had still been on the shelf though, they would be yellow stickered by now and it says on the website that if meat is short dated, to call them. £4.74 refunded!

    The delivery girl was also going on about a free kit kat being included in my shopping, but I think she must have been on drugs as there isn't one in there!! (and I'm not sure why there would be?!)
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    Did you get to keep the braising steak, or are they bringing another lot for you ?

    I worry that my boss has fitted a "timeout" onto my computer to get me off here and back to work :rotfl:

    they just did a straight refund. I haven't got any room in the freezer unless I have a big shift around - but I think I'll have to do that otherwise it will get wasted before I need it.

    Jacs - hope everything works out with DH's move - enjoy every day until then!!!!

    i've just had an egg related incident :rolleyes: I cracked an egg and between the work top and the pan it slipped out of the shell and down the tiniest gap ever between the work top and the cooker :eek: i've just had to clear up egg off the floor and down the side of the cooker whilst the cooker was on - it was dripping onto the floor so I didn't want to leave it until after i'd eaten when it would have been even yuckier!! Luckily it is a freestanding one on quite high legs so I could move it gently out a bit and then get in to clean the floor and side of cooker!!!! I tried in vain to scoop it up but it disappeared down the crack faster than I could try to scoop it up!! :rotfl:

    How about cous cous jacs?? The flavoured packet ones are brilliant.

    Maybe some ratatouille? Onions, courgettes, aubergine, peppers, garlic, dried herbs and a can of tomatoes. Serve it over the chops with rice or a salad?

    Hiya Hun...you been busy again (silly question)!

    I am going to meet myself coming back one of these daystoo.

    New job seems to be going OK and I managed to have a schmooze about the internet for a couple of hours (work related of course;) ) so have managed to catch up on a few threads, but posting to forums is blocked:mad: .

    Just finished my new job 9am-3pm, at home at teh moment doing dutiful Wife and Mother stuff then back out to work to teach 6-8.30pm and I know we have ran out of bread and some other stuff for packed lunches so I will have to go to Asda when I finish.

    May be back on here later if I can find a couple of match sticks to hold my eyes open with.:rolleyes:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
