    Morning all.

    Sunny and cold - I've got the thick woolly-pulli on.

    I keeps eggs in the fridge if I get a backlog, open jars cos we don't eat up jam etc quick enough, bread and dead mice (snake food) in the freezer image

    Archers on, back later.

    That's the trouble though isn't it Chris, what to throw or keep?? I tend to keep everything. image But then, when I need something, have to trawl through bags and bags to find it. I WILL get organised! imageimage

  • Morning all, cold with some cloud and some sun. Having a cuppa and listening to The Archers.



    Becks, keep what is still relevant, keep the last 12 months of bills. Well, that's the theory, I have bags full.



    Borgen is shaping up very nicely, watched them both last night.

    Morning all.

    Wasnt around yesterday, as after shopping- how much?!! -spent the rest of the time outside, well wrapped up & doing lots! image Too shattered to even turn pc on afterwards.

    My Dad's paperwork is still to be finally sorted. Non urgent stuff for me, daughter has all of that & has/is dealing with. Once daughter actually moves out....yay, shall have space to move things around to actually do my sort out. Trouble is it'll coincide with seed sowing etc etc, so can just see it all still sitting there... & as for ours. image

    Glorious sunshine out there, but well below freezing first thing. Daughter scraping car for ages before she could leave for work. OH is going back over the tops today! No point in risking a journey first thing tomorrow morning when he doesnt need to. J.

  • Good morning all,

    Hope you all have a bit of sunshine too. The forcast says we are the only region not to have snow tomorrow.

    I'm going to give up keeping chickens. I went out yesterday afternoon to find a lot of feathers everywhere, one chicken missing and one dying. I've only got four left now. It's almost impossible to keep them safe. They are shut up now and I'll let them out when I go in the garden soon but then put them away when I go inside again. I was talking to a friend of my DIL and she said that they have a big electric fence around their  chicken run. The fox can't get in but it runs around outside and panics the chickens and they fly over the fence. I'm afraid the fox has won.

    I have made beef wellington. It is tricky stopping soggy bottom. A hint I saw, but not used was to buy/very thin pancakes, cover the fillet in your pate, mushrooms or both and then wrap in pancake before pastry. Another hint is that when you sear the meat make sure all edges are sealed/ less juice to escape. Individual ones do not take long to cook, getting timing right on large one needs careful weighing. Hope this helps

    Oh and make sure the tin you cook it on is heated as the oven heats so that it is hot

     

    Weird or what, the person I was trying to contact yesterday has just rung image

    Been out and broken ice on pool and bucket fro Mr Robin.

    Sorry morning all

    i was half way through writing post when person phoned. Oh dear poor chckens. next door but one have them in a electrified enclosure, but she was a bit fed up with fox and I haven't heard them recently.

    I have loads of my M paper work, some of it dating back to my F and he passed in 1992. everynow and again I sit with shredder, thing is it has to be gone through carefully in case some thing important is lurking in the piles
