Good morning, Its a beautiful morning here in Yorkshire, Blue sky and sun. So may go out for a ride , as those grey clouds usually appear later on.

Well as you will see from the first post today Dawn has reached 2 months. Well done, keep up the good work Dawn.

Hi emjay, well at least we got to know what Petes flippin was, before we went to bed.

Andi are you exercising today or going to be square eyed? whatever you do take it steady.

Good morning Jilly, Sue and everyone else.

Well the sun's shining at the moment. I woke up at about 6.20 to hear rain outside. Was planning to go for a run so stopped alarm from going off and turned over. Couldn't go back to sleep so got up a few minutes later, togged up and off I went. Think my calf's better as didn't feel a thing today. Luckily it was only a quick passing shower earlier and it was nice and fresh out. Does make you feel better after vegging out on the couch watching the lympics for so many hours!

I guess Pete's ( flippin ) is a bit like a thingumy or a doodah or a wotsit!

See you later.

[andi22]

PETE ! HELP ! Flippin washers leaking. cant work it out its leaking on rinse cycle but not when it fills. Oh well suppose I could look for another one. nearly as cheap as getting repairs. So its the laundry gremlins at my house.

[monky Administrator 35 Months Winner in reply to jillygirl]

Morning all,

Jillygirl, is it when the washer is emptying ?? if so it is most likely the drain hose has a split in it !!

Just cooking dins at the moment

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER in reply to monky]

Hubby just looked it is what you said cheers.

will fix it tomoz. Phew.

thanks Pete.

[sue52 3 YEAR WINNER]

Jillygirl sorry to hear your washer is leaking, there's nothing worse hope you managed to get your washing out without soaking your floor to much, same thing happened to me a few months ago and it was certainly cheaper to buy new one, we need to get Pete to get rid of these gremlins there causing havoc now, hope you get it sorted soon xx

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER]

Hi sue hubby sorted washer will do it tomoz.

Shame I really wanted a new one.

[sue52 3 YEAR WINNER]

Hi Jillygirl that's always the way isn't it, at least it will save you money, glad you got it fixed xx

[monky Administrator 35 Months Winner]

Aup you lot,

I think i have excelled myself today, cus i made my lumpy gravy as usual, but with a difference, - i put a spoon in it and it stood up on its own I call that 1 lump gravy,

so i chucked it and made another lot of 10 lump gravy, which is about norm for me, but just realised that i could have sliced the 1 lump gravy and made saunies for my packup with it, !!

Just wondered if anybody has had gravy saunies????

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER in reply to monky]

I did the same with cheese sauce. Hubby always says he will just have one slice.

Why not add a bit of beef , and a slice of gravy . sounds good to me.

[andi22 in reply to monky]

You could have cut a whole in the middle and put some meat or sausage in it - a bit like toad-in-the-hole??

[monky Administrator 35 Months Winner in reply to andi22]

Hmmmmm dont like toads !!

[andi22 in reply to monky]

You silly b******!!!!

[monky Administrator 35 Months Winner in reply to andi22]

Hey Hey!! young Lady, steady on a bit, huh cus your a Woman!!!! you will get away with it, this time but next time i will have to, reprimand you gal, and gosh will i reprimand you or what ????

[andi22 in reply to monky]

Gonna get my dinner now - roast would be wonderful but not worth it for one.

[monky Administrator 35 Months Winner in reply to andi22]

Hey Andi !!

When i stayed at my Dads, i still cooked a roast most weeks, and what i used to do was, cook enough for 4, plate it up and put 2 in the fridge, which saved a couple of days, plus saved me cooking every night.

Just put them in the microwave for 3 mins, and bobs your uncle !! but you put the gravy on just before you microwave them.

I'm not sure but i think you can actually freeze the dins

I will look into it for you

[andi22 in reply to monky]

Grrrr - them gremlins again!! just replied and it's ( flippin ) o

[andi22 in reply to monky]

Thanks for that but I know what to do ta.

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER]

Aghhhhh! I will try again. flippin gremlins.

Yes you can freeze dins providing that none of the food was frozen to start with. Make sure its heated thoroughly . Dont re-freeze once thawed out.

[andi22 in reply to jillygirl]

Best thing is to freeze the meat sliced, in portions, in gravy. At home we call this 'recycled roast' The trouble with plating up is it gets rather boring eating the same thing over and over. Also roast potatoes and yorkshires are best fresh.

[monky Administrator 35 Months Winner in reply to andi22]

It tastes better than the frozen ones you buy

Bin there done it, flippin c--p so there

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER]
