Hi Val - Glad to see you're still on plan and sticking with it. I made some soup today which was quite nice and more to the point, easy! I'm not a great cook as you know.

I don't mind trying to make stuff but having loads of things going at once stresses me out - you have lots of different veg on the go, have you got an Aga or something?!

Good luck for your weigh in, I'm sure it will be good news

Love Pomooky XX
