Jack's Nursery Visit

We had a visit from two ladies from Jack's nursery yesterday. Apparently they like to do a home visit before the kids starts (check out the home situation and that) and where pleased to see that we do not live in a crack house / brothel / squat, or have floors which are 6inches deep in fag ash, animal crap etc. (I am a little put out that they insisted on a visit when I thought I had opted out.... nothing to hide, I just don't like having strangers round to my very cluttered and untidy, although clean, house)

It went well I think. Jack was his usual over excited self when they first arrived - any visitors cause mayhem for about 10-15mins - but then settled down and was happily playing with his kitchen set bringing everyone "tea and cake" and even sharing the toys with Tom (for the most part).

The only possible problem came right at the end, just as they were about to leave, and Jack was playing with some trains. He was bashing them together and shouting "Knackered! Knackered! Knackered!" Aaaaand yes, they heard him. They might have heard him in China....

Ooooops!

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
