Afternoon all
Got up just after 9 so had a couple of hours extra in bed. Birthday Girl opened her cards and pressies and has gone to her Mums for lunch (meat and potato pie and peas lol) I am still at home as they won't let me in cos I have the lurgy! It is fair enough, their health is not good and they certainly don't need what I have at the mo.
Since I got up I have:-
made breakfast
put the HUGE gammon joint in the oven (5 hours cooking time shows you how big the bloody thing is)
hoovered
dusted
sorted out a massive pile of mail that had accumulated
finished the paperwork for the remortgage - cheaper rate than we have currently
made a pan of celery soup

still to do
make a batch of almond muffins so I don't feel deprived when she has her carrot cake for her birthday
wash up afterwards
shower
go out for dinner

totm arrived today so scales are slightly up on yesterday - classing myself as a STS this week and hoping for a loss next week - not being able to exercise is a nuisance - blinking cold - go away!!!

Currently on the sofa in the nice tidy living room, dog on sofa at my side snoring, peaceful apart from that, having a quick go on here till I can go and make my muffins when the meat is ready to come out (not enough room for both lol).

Hope everyone is having a nice day - our sky is blue and sunny here which is nice for the birthday girl :)
 
Happy Birthday to Loretta!

Glad you're getting some relaxing time, hun. A woman at work swears by First Defence and although it's expensive, it really seems to have done the trick for her.
 
Yes I looked at it last night in sainsbos but am too far along the line, might get some in for next time just in case!

Gammon now out of oven, muffins in, only a few minutes and they should be ready (had to make them without lemon as I forgot to get some, thought I had some in the fruit basket but they were a bit dry so didn't use them). Parrot is going mad at something - a little birdie just landed in the yard, think it might have been that!
Washing up done, all I need to do now is have a shower and make myself gorgeous for tonight (may take some time as I have a large and very unlovely cold sore right across one side of my nose :( )
 
Oh no bren :( bloomin typical feeling ill xxxx
 
I don't feel that bad thankfully, just have a nasty hacking cough, general snotty head but that is all - and I can cope with that - I can taste my food thankfully, given the meal tonight :D (I know cos I just had a lump of gammon - just to make sure it was ok lol)
 
ooh yummy :) I did Linz s recipe of gammon cooked in ginger beer (the no sugar stuff of course) was yummy!
 
I cooked mine in a pan with it :) and some spices. used a whole bottle and 2 pans cos had to split ganmon in half. then put it own to crisp up and omg the bits on the ages were are crisp and gingery mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
 
Sounds yummy - so you boiled it in the ginger beer then roasted it off afterwards - hmmm interesting. What spices did you use?
 
yes Linz put a glaze on hers but i didnt want to add more carbs. Only roasted it for about 1/2 hour just to get it crispy on the outside. Delish. I use Raj el hanout spices with the jamaican ginger beer :)
