hehe spoil yourself cos he's out and have something decadent!! I am finally going to make my stuffed pattypan squash tonight...I am, and nothing is going to stop me this time!!!

oh that reminds me - I still got a marrow in the fridge. never made it before but figured it "looks" similar to courgettes, so was hoping to stuff them with mince as well. but that can be made another day - a whole marrow may be just a teeny bit too much for me tonight

 

[Carreg]

ooh stuffed marrow is really yummy! But yes, a whole marrow is probably overkill for one person!!

Got to go late night food shopping tonight too, the car is in the garage over the weekend from tomorrow so tonight is the last chance. Boooo. Only like food shopping if it is on a Saturday after a lie in!!

xx

 

[JuFer]

mmmh - not sure on food shopping on a saturday. It just gets sooooo busy and the roads tend to get gridlocked too
we started ordering our groceries online recently and so far this has worked out quite well. certainly saved us a lot of time... well not counting the time I actually spent placing the order but I don't mind doing the shopping bit - it's getting in and out that's the problem

 

[Carreg]

Yeah, I quite enjoy the whole shopping thing (though admittedly not a fan of stupid people blocking up the aisles while they have a chat!) but not when I am knackered after work! OH hates it at any time but so I get the feeling this could end in tears!!

Evening girls

I've been feeling mega crappy today So Nathan has got me a new sewing machine to cheer me up, I havent used one since being at school but have wanted one for ages now.
Been looking at tutorials online for different things to make Going to start with cushion covers & a dog bed for the girls.

Gonna take a read back a few pages, but heres some for anyone that needs them xx

 

[JuFer]

My DH is not a big fan of food shopping either but he does perk up a bit in the DVD section - maybe you could park yours there too and pick him up when you're finished
Well good luck anyways - hopefully it won't end up in tears
I'm off in 15 mins - if I remember correctly you haven't go long to go, have you?

 

[JuFer]

hi baby.love - how nice of your dh to buy you a new sewing machine! I wish I knew how to sew

 

[4magpies]

Im off home girlies... speak later

xxx

 

[JuFer]

Me too - speak to you all tomorrow or later tonight :wave:

 

[dragonhawk]

Ha ha.... I've used the DVD parking lot too!!! The only problem is, he usually finds me when I'm walking past the wine aisle!!! Somehow the shopping budget then gets blown, because he arrives with 2 bottles of wine and at least one dvd. ARGH!!! Usually I managed to get most of the dvds back on the shelves.

Anyway, it's quite good because I get ideas for his birthday and Christmas.

 

[Carreg]

hehe mine prefers the gadgets section...and the same things happens with the wine aisle!!

Home now and cooking my stuffed pattypan squash, just hope OH actually comes home at a reasonable hour tonight...no word from him which is not promising after last night!

JuFer - I finish work at 1715

Hope you're all having a nice evening

xx

 

[dragonhawk]

Oh, and I finished at 16.30 today. Normally finish at about 1600, so not too bad.

The bread is already in the breadmaker, it's the long bake cycle, so it'll be 3 hours yet until it's done. But it's really for sandwiches for lunch tomorrow, it's not (despite what DH thinks) for munching on tonight. Washing in the washing machine and currently listening to Peter Facinelli's webcast from last night whilst getting ready for Zumba. Don't think dh will make it home in time tonight to go.

 

[Huggles]

well i'm home, made and eaten supper (the chicken tikka curry rice mate i've been threatening to cook all week - was surprisingly yummy!), re-rinsed DH's airsoft clothes (washed them last night but forgot to take them out the machine ) and now i'm hiding in the bedroom cos all DH's friends have arrived to discuss airsoft tactics and i really don't like socialising...

 

[Carreg]

aww Huggles, well you can socalise on here with us!!! Glad the rice mate turned out well

Dragonhawk - I find that when I make bread too...it just smells so yummy that you can't resist slicing a bit off while it's still hot...mmmmm...I find this particularly true with cheese, onion & herb bread and sundried tomato bread!!

Have done the basics of the squash now, just waiting for OH to get in so it can go in the oven!

[Huggles]

hot bread fresh out the oven while the crust is still crispy, with real butter melting in....
Aaah, true bliss... i can just smell it now... can almost taste it...

 

[Huggles]

LoL - i've definitely been on this thread too much - DH and his friends are in the lounge discussing airsoft tactics for their game on sunday. The one guy says "ok, but at the first sign of danger i'm pulling out..." - I immediately think about pulling out whilst LoL

 

[Carreg]

lol Huggles - brilliant!

Well, OH just got back! Miraculous! Have sent him right back out again though as I have had a mystery parcel arrive and it wouldn't fit through the letterbox so it's gone to the depot and I didn't have the car to go and get it so I persuaded him to nip out for it before they shut at 7. Bribed him with the knowledge that his dinner will be ready by the time he gets back!

Then...the dreaded shopping. Yay!

[Huggles]

oooh, i love mystery parcels! Any idea what it is???

 

[Carreg]

not sure...I bought a couple of things on ebay but nothing that should be too big to go through the door? I'm also expecting a delivery from the Chocolate Tasting Club but the boxes are designed to be letterbox sized...so no clue!
