    What's for dinner tonight? I haven't got anything out or anything in for dinner and they chillies need food... I have..

    Potatoes
    onions
    butternut squash (which I have NO idea what to do with)
    broccoli
    eggs
    a few mushrooms
    and an aubergine
    and a blob of fennel! (why??What for??)

    ... ok I got it...

    Jackets with scrambled egg/mushrooms/beans/tuna with mixed veg/salad.. whatever I can find..

    What do you do with a butternut squash? I don't make soups noone likes them and they are wholly inedible.. I have no idea what I do wrong but they are rank!

    and my boobs are killing me.. I hate this pre-menstrual bit.. it just makes me ache! and I grew a spot on my chin.. actually.. to be precise.. I grew 3!!!! nasty!!!

    Boddy.. at least you remembered.. I feel like a right prune!!

    Casserole was yum, kids all atet he lot with pasta, I had pots. Some left in the AGA for when DS1 returns from athletics. Just taken DS3 friend home and off to take DS2 to footie in a minute. It will be hard to get DS3 home as there is a park there but I want him in bed. Not got very far with the kitchen but I want to get the floors hoovered and mopped when he is in bed.

    I've done the brownie run and my friend is picking up so I don't need to go out again, yeah!!!

    Pigpen - we mash our butternut squash and it's so yummy. Have to be careful though as it's really watery. We cube it and steam and then put it through the potato ricer making sure we've squeezed the excess water out. A blob of butter and milk and it's divine!

    Don't know if I told you my lawnmover blew up a while back. DH bought this piddly thing back from his parents. Only problem is the grass has got so long it won't cut it...just kind of mashes it. Now I need to borrow a lawnmover to cut it and then do it regularly with the little mini mower. It won't take up much space in the shed though so that's good.

    Going to have a quick check in the greenhouse. I am so, so, so looking forward to putting my feet up tonight xx
