Hi Grouchy & Pheonix, Shouldbe Sorry about the wm

Now washed & dressed, both Ellie & I have had lunch. She did really well today she ate beef casserole, mash potatoe, plus pear & then some milk. I had left overs from last night. Potatoe,chicken,mushroom, tomatoe & chilli bake, yummy.

Potatoes cooked & mashed for cottage pie. Can't cook mince as I have no onions or carrots bum! Will pop out once I've had a cuppa.
