Slugish

It's one of those mornings. I need to be setting off for work in half an hour. My brain's notin gear yet.

Feeling fed up at the moment. I'm sticking at 12 stone again. I really need to get my work out DVDs on and burn some of this blubber off, but I dont have time (and yes, I can hear you saying 'you have time to blog.... half an hour before work? you should be doing it now' but then I'd only be sweaty for work. And I'm too tired right now).

I have 11 days left to get this assignment finished. I am making progress, but it feel like very slow progress.

Since my last post I have managed to sort out the demo shopping cart. What a nightmare that was... until I twigged the one simple thing I had overlooked and then it was a breeze. Typical, right? The Form Page was giving me similar grief and it took a day to figure that out. It still needs some tweeking, but the pressure is off with that one for now.

But - once again - I am stuck on the next bit, although I never kidded myself for a second that this would be an easy bit. This is the wishlist page. Here I have to read the cookie set on the index page and display it here. That bit was easy enough.... the tricky bit is getting it to display not as just lines of text lising out the names of the products, but to display a photograph of it and a link to the product page too. Hummmmm..... this is going to require some serious back-reading of materials and some indepth on-line research for me.

I took yesterday off from my college work. I feel burned out. The weather outside is amazing, like summer already, and I want to be out in it. Not stuck in here working.

And to add to the pressure, 2 days ago the gubbins arrived for the NEXT class! Which starts in 16 days. It came with a list of submission dates too. Again, there are three mini assignments and 1 biggie. The 3rd mini assignment is due on my wedding day! The biggie is due the week after my honeymoon. GREAT. And there dosn't look to be any text books for this one, so I have to work at their pace, not my own,

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
