Last nights dinner!


I decided that i would try a new recipe last night and not having used puff pastry before thought that i would give it a blast. I changed the filling a little bit from the recipe so, its a chicken, leek and mushroom in a cheese sauce pie!I was very pleased with myself (sad i know) but i love trying new things, as i can get so bored with food. Marcus liked it so it was a hit as he is dead fussy! Will defo do it again!

Not sure how many households have one of these, it is supposed to be a posher version of a pestle and mortar, and is (if you don't know) a Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker! Handy little thing.

A little bit of play time......











Marcus was home from work yesterday afternoon which was nice, and with Henry in bed for his afternoon nap Amelia had lots of attention and fun.




Manic day today and am looking forward to a peaceful evening (hope im not tempting fate here!) a large glass of something nice, good food - Antony Worrel Thompson recipe, hope it turns out ok as i have not attempted it before. And finally looking forward to my pjs!

HSMSHS; Filling - a substance used to fill ie; sandwich, pie or tooth cavity.


Yum, a massive slice of this is much needed!

After a busy night at work, i come home dress and feed the kids, brush hair and teeth, chase Missy (the cat) around the shed trying to get her into her cat box, drop one child off at pre-school, then drive to the vets with Missy and my son, maneuver the car around a ice rink of a car park, unload and finally enter the vets - where i learn that she needs flea treatment(not too bad she lives outside not in the house!) and a course of antibiotics which cost me £51.00 and the best part is she has to have an operation to remove some teeth but its ok............its only £300.00! Well needless to say i needed to sit down, and have quickly got pet insurance ( though it wont cover me for this time).

I then went to pick Amelia up from school at 12pm forgetting she finished at 1pm, so came home and made some lunch for Henry and myself and heated up some chicken curry for the little guy - the microwave was a complete mess as i forgot to cover the curry. So all in all not a great day so far, perhaps things will look better after a sleep! Night ya all x.

HSMSHS; SOS


I caught this sunrise at 7am this morning from outside my front door - i should have been at work last night............i got there and i had been cancelled! Will teach me to turn my mobile on before i leave the house. So with my sleeping out of sinc i was up until late and up with the children this morning (thought hubby needed a lie in!) and will be back in bed by lunch time ready for my shift tonight......Why oh why did i decide to go back to work?
