    Tia - well done to your DS and to you - they were really good posts to read

    Mudbath - glad the exam went well, good luck for Tuesday's

    Pigpen - as I will be busy working/flying tomorrow might not post before you leave so hope Bon Jovi live up to expectations and you don't get back to a trashed house!! BTW I'd go for a fly swat - very satisfying way of killing the little b*ggers and much cheaper than fly spray!
    Don't put it down, put it away - thanks Valli

    Thank you to all who post competitions & help the smooth running of the comps board

    Morning all

    Bright and sunny again today and they reckon we'll hit 24 degrees - which won't be fun as my office was hot enough yesterday.

    Must dash - need to go on a hunt for something cool and summery to wear which involve using the iron...

    morning all.

    To slow cook or not to slow cook; that is the question.

    I have a 910g veal silverside in the fridge for dinner tonight.

    My options are to stick it in the slow cooker in the next half hour ( will be home for about 3.30)

    Or to cook it when I get in from work.

    What do we reckon ladies?
