where did all those questions come from? Did I miss something?

I use caudrons, def!

Everything I use is enormous. They eat so much though! I made a quiche yesterday, late afternoon I think the dish must be 14" or 16", and it has all gone. It was even eaten as part of a dinner.

my fruit bowl is about 20" across and gets refilled twice a week. I get it from the supermarket or asian grocers, I thought those riverford boxes worked out quite expensive?

The worst thing is making things like parathas (have two tavas on the go at the same time) or omelettes (have four frying pans on the go). I found a solution for breakfasts tho - I do it on a ginormous paella dish!

I cook and freeze loads. I have a normal fridge freezer in the kitchen and an American sized one in the storeroom.

I still haven't really got a good laundry system. I've started putting stuff straight in the machine and turning it on when it gets full. The ironing just gets done when it starts to stretch to ceiling height!

We have one sitter, but the limit with our agency is 4. Any more kids and I'd have to pay for two.

I noticed the meet up fg! I can't afford fancy hotels in the cotswolds though! Now if you admitted to owning that castle, we would be sorted...

LG&T no.7!!!!!!!!!!!! go for it girl, race you

HarrogateMum · 21/01/2008 13:51

Chops - it doesnt have to be an expensive fancy hotel, it could just as easily be a campsite!! I guess it depends on whether people are interested in coming in the first place and what everyone can budget for it before we make a decision! Should be near an airport though as FG will have to fly from her private heli-pad (only jokinggggg)

camping!

I haven't camped since I was about 8! dd keeps badgering me to take her camping, but I reckon the dts would terrorise the whole site.

Yes, I do need a heli pad and I can also do travel lodges (I'll just bring my own butler egyptian cotton )

frumpygrumpy · 21/01/2008 17:04

Kelly, whats best for you?

Chopster · 21/01/2008 18:28

Now travelodges sounds nice and sensible!

The cotswolds isn't really north though is it? I could prob drive there and back in a day tbh. I've done Oxford in a day before.

Chopster · 21/01/2008 18:29

I could really do wiht a nice weekend away!

I not sure what dp will say though, really it's HIS turn for a weekend jaunt! I've had about three now.

iamdingdong · 21/01/2008 18:39

my sis lives in the cotswolds, I'll find out when they're going away and we can break in house sit for her
