Dubchick, do you have a slow cooker?

I got a joint of beef from my butcher, think it was beef skirt (had never heard of it but it was on special), and it had practically no fat on it at all. I put three balls of foil in the bottom of my slow cooker, with a bit of beef stock (literally just covered the bottom of the dish) and put in some carrots, onions and garlic. Left it on low for 8 hours while I was at work and came home to a roast beef that was amazing!

I second this we put a bit of wholegrain mustard on ours before cooking last time and it was delicious!!


On another note 2lbs off this week but feeling very faint and panicky not much use when its just me and the baby at home and have working complaining about the grievance ive filed :-(

How are you feeling RB? I know how awful that can feel, I get like that sometimes, especially if something major like you have is going on :bighug:

Thanks for thinking of me I am feeling a bit better this afternoon re dosed up on ibroprufen/ paracetamol. This cold thing is just awful proper knocked it out of me.

All I have said all day is how i could eat pizza and chocolate so havnt even dared to go buy the weekly kit kat chunky pebs!! May have to just settle with one of my froggy friends in the fridge

I got an email asking if I'd do a mystery shop for a pizza delivery place, was hard to say no to free pizza you get paid to eat...

Definitely have a little chocolate, always make you feel a bit better
 
You are a stronger person than me! I would love to be a mystery shopper

I will definately be digging some chocolate out when baby has gone to bed its the only thing which has kept me going all day. Hope everyone else is having a good pre weigh in day :)

Tracy why are you not being spoiled? I need a word in mr Tracy's ear.

Dubs - sounds like a good idea about the beef, although I was going to say get a rib roast and just roast it. Rib of beef is the best

Arby I'm so sorry you're still feeling rotten. Get yourself a hot Lemon and brandy , I don't know about old Freddie fridge toad, that's not going to dump that cold but nice trying eh.
I'm drooling over my kit kat, only 24hrs to go.

The Asia book is great but I'm happy to share the recipes arby I can post the pic from the book and my photos .

Here's tonight's dinner

Sizzling king prawn & ginger garlic prawns

Have mentioned to Jonathan about asking her up n he's not sure. He wants to take me out instead... But I'd rather treat his mam. She's been a star to us this past few months. Especially since Eabha was born. She's really looked out for me seen as I don't hav my own mam anymore n I'd like to show her my appreciation

We'll see...

Will def make both of ur suggestions tho... Thanks ladies :)

Ps I forgot to weigh in this morning. Will do in the morning if I remember. Eabha has her BCG tomoro. Not looking forward to that!!! Jonathan's dad is coming with us so he'll hold her when they give it. I just don't have it in me to... Such a bad mammy :(
 
Thanks dubs , I'm sure it'll work with chook , worth a try it was delicious.
Can you not got out and take his mum too ? That's what we tended to do in the past and get all us mummy's together. My mum, my sister , me and franks mum and it was a really great day .
Whatever you decide it'll be special


Good luck for weigh in everyone xxx

And a very big well done to arby xx
 
Thanks pebs I may make this for Mum on Sunday it was going to be chilli her fav but I can see this being a hit too, followed by the choc mousse from latest mag (if anyone needs recipe before next week just shout!). I know for certain Im not getting anything for mother's day he always ends up at work when he is supposed to be spoiling me!
Mr frog is still sat there in fridge waiting for another day, I gave up on tonight and have been told I am having a visitor tomorrow. My mum has took half the afternoon off work to drive up here and give me a hand. I have been told to pick anything for tea but so far have come up with zilch!

In less than 24hrs that kit kat will be yours!

Bcg?! I wasnt aware that they gave babies them! Well I know they dont in Wales. I didnt even have it in school as a teenager as they said the risk is no longer great enough! :eek:

It was blooming lovely and if you haven't got the schezuan pepper it's worth finding it, definitely makes a difference. I got mine in Asda . It did us 2 huge portions so would easily have stretched and I halved the whole recipe .

Choc mousse sounds yum. Such a shame he won't be home for Sunday :(

Kit kat kit kat kit kat - sorry I was dreaming then.

As for the bcg - yes they give it in Ireland still, but not in England Scot and Wales anymore . Basically we eradicated TB in uk through our immunisation programme in schools ( for us oldies) .
The only people now that are offered it in uk are those with parents or grandparents who originate or frequently visit certain countries . So for example my kids dad is British but his parents are Nigerian and they visited home frequently so my kids were offered it as toddlers .
Here's some info if anyone's interested

Bless her, mum coming up to help. Pick something you wouldn't normally do? , or a recipe you've been dying to try ? If I can help let me know xx
 
Oh dub, i forgot to post this , I found for you

Meringue nests

Aww thanks pebs...

And I've just realised I didn't forget to wi. It's not Thursday yet !!! Duuh!!!

Yea everyone gets BCG over here. If we'd been in hospital linger she'd hav got it there but as I chose to come home the next day the public health nurse will giv it
 
Ahhhhh that makes sense I did chase it up once before and was told if I wanted it I would have to pay as there is no reason to have it and left it since. The year above me in school had it but they stopped with us, we were told we were getting it until very close to the actual date. But work were a bit iffy as I was only person on intake without it when I started with them and was told to ask when I went for my hepatitus inj. Luckily I found out I was pregnant a week before my hep injection!
Suppose it doesn't really matter now I am not going back!
I have just asked for good old comfort food of the spag bol pasta bake from all in one book. Not made it for yonks either.

Just sat and munched some cheese on toast as my throat hurt too much at tea time so have had 2 hexb of toast today and very little else! So suppose at least I could get away with calling it a red/green day!
Sorry for confusing you pebs, even though I changed my wi day I can't let myself leave :)

You my little friend are going NOWHERE !! I don't care if you weigh on the eighth day of the week , this is home now so there .
Spag bake sounds perfect and you'll be all cosy and snuggly and shake that thing in no time with mummy looking after you. It's what we do best.

So what do you think you'll do work wise ? Can you stay home? Xx
 
RB, I think I missed the part about you not going back to work? Am I being too nosy asking you about it??

I had a rubbish day at work - I have an inspection hanging over me - until he signs off on me I'm not fully qualified so I'm demented with planning and preparing for him. I should be on a panel for permanency this summer but because I haven't been signed off yet I got notification today that I'm not on the list. Once he does arrive I can try again but no guarantees. So I wS in a filthy mood all day and was terrified that I'd go mad and eat all around me. I was a bit bolder than normal for a weds night but I think I just scraped within my syns......
 
Oh smurfy that's rotten, no one ever puts themselves out anymore. He needs to get you sorted and fast . Well done for not caving xx

I am completely fed up this morning!! After last weeks 3/4 gain I was doing really well in the mid week crafty weigh in stakes . Only to find another lb on today . Gutted that's me . I'm bloated this morning and actually feel like I've just eaten. Maybe I ate too late ?
Well I got to thinking every time I eat bread I get this so I'm thinking best to knock it back off again for a while . I don't eat bread daily anymore probably 2-3 times a week . But yesterday I totally mucked up and the day before weigh in I'd had bread for breakfast and a pitta for lunch - big mistake in hindsight . Plus I've caught smurfs ailment again this week so that's bugging me too .
So 1 on for me and a foul mood on the cards for today but I'm still having my egg and cheese sandwich for lunch and my kitkat chunky tonight as my treat .

Good luck one and all xxxxx
