Hello you lot! Morning

Straight to the point, anyone have a recipe for mince that isn't Spag bol or Cottage pie?

Have 500g beef mince from freezer that needs to go and need inspiration!

Right, I'm back from school, mindee fed, watered and sleeeeeping. New sofa day Shosh! Brown leather isn't it? Does it have clever recliner seats too?

Ok - dilema of the day. How do you tell a friend that you really dont want to go out with her for her birthday this weekend, as you are too old to be out until 3am?

madge7 · 12/06/2007 10:18

Thats the good part about being where you are eh Shosh! What a nightmare!!

Meatballs - yes will have a look for them, Jamie's ones are a little bit more exciting than Nadia's though.

Will check it out in a little while, just got loads of forms to complete for the adoption by email and busily filling them in now - hehehe exciting!!!

Catch you in a while!

No sign of any coffee or cake today then???????????????

Hi all, Choas reigns here, got a call at 8.00 this morning to say my new suite was being delivered at 11.00!!!!!!!! No notice nothing, was suppose to give two days notice.

So with all the kids screaming for breakfast I had to get the old suite out, lucily guy next door was really helpful, especially as he is new and I ve only spoken to him once!!!! (DH wasnt here) we had to take doors off to get it out!!!

Was going to soft play but obviously not now!

madge7 · 12/06/2007 09:48

Moring all - yep Nadia's meatballs looked lovely.

I have a great Jamie Oliver recipe for them if you want it?

Is it for you or kids or both, I expect you could adapt it etc???

Morning all! Just checking in before I go to playgroup.

Crace: What about savoury mince (gravy based sauce and any veg you have about) in big yorkshire puds? Not very insired I know but can't even face my brekky yet, hopefully others will have their thinking hats on!
