Sorry to hear you are still not feeling right carrots, how about some nice ginger soup??

Which reminds me, zoo - What's wrong with Gillian McKeith? I have ALL her cookbooks!

carrotsandcelery · 13/01/2012 15:05

Your blog has become very fancy bessie Shock The soup sounds lovely and ginger might be just the thing. I don't have sweet potato or parsnips but I might be able to get some when I drop ds off. If not I could make lentil soup but with lots of ginger as I do have that. Thanks bessie.

Can I please, at this moment, point out that "Dr" Gillian KcKeith is not representative of all Scots eg my dh's phd is real and I am not skinny or mean Grin

Hi all, and welcome back Shouldbe Smile

I have just had some homemade soup, yum yum!
I used carrot, leek and celery. the only think was, it was a bit watery for some reason, quite different to the potato and leek soup I made the other day! Hmm

I can't stay long cause it will be school run soon.
Be back later.

What 10 min mission did you do Egg my floor mopping mission has taken me about 4 hours (with lots of breaks for sections to dry).

BlackCat the potato disintegrates a bit and thickens the soup a little bit - it is more carb based while the veg is more water based. You have to be careful how much potato you add to soup or it can get too stodgy.

If your soup is too watery you can just boil it lots to dry it up a bit if you have the patience.

zoo how annoying. If you buy new boots it is bound to turn up. Can you borrow from someone? It could be that someone has taken it home and will bring it back next week.

Carrots I though today's mission was look up and de-cobweb the ceilings. I am almost certainly wrong but I am counting it anyway.

Low carbing today and it went better than I thought it would. Home mad pea and broccoli from earlier this week for lunch. Just had tuna, rocket, olives, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, feta, strong cheddar, hummus, oregano and fresh lemon juice.

I feel I should do a big task so I can come back and tell you all. Liveinazoo has inspired me to have another go of under the stairs - I have boxes to sort everything. Back later...

Egg a mission is a mission! They all count.

bessie26 · 13/01/2012 19:08

Fly Lady said "find one of Kelly?s missions", so I think we can do whatever one we want! I haven't done mine yet Blush

BlackCatLookingForwardToSpring · 13/01/2012 19:17

When it comes down to it, it's all about sorting your house out so if you aiming for that in the long run, it won't matter too much which order you do the missions in. I however have failed to do any mission --as usual-- so if you have done any, give yourself a big pat on the back. Wink Smile

Zoo where are all the bun fights -[nosey emoticon]

I think I may get better at Flying once DD is settled into nursery and I have a routine going.

bessie26 · 13/01/2012 19:20

Oooh, is it all kicking off somewhere?

Don't tell me I didn't HAVE to wash my floor? Shock I only did it because Kelly told me to and it is therefore THE LAW!

did anyone find angel?

BlackCatLookingForwardToSpring · 13/01/2012 19:33

No, I haven't seen her around for the last week. hope she is o.k.

Wondered if she has name changed but I have known her since July and she was the same name all that time.

liveinazoo · 13/01/2012 19:37

very odd...
i feel like ive hit a wall tonight.really fed up.may go to bed soon
anyone had a productive evening?

BlackCatLookingForwardToSpring · 13/01/2012 19:40

Carrots I was only joking!!!

Are you o.k.?

carrotsandcelery · 13/01/2012 19:48

I pm'ed her a few days ago and I haven't heard anything. That should pop up in her email even if she doesn't come on Mumsnet. It is very worrying.
