New Years Resolutions

I didn't make any last year.... So that bit is easy, lol!

I do have some for this year though. Lets get the usual dross out of the way first:

* Lose weight. Georgie is almost 9m old and I am still flabby n saggy. I know we want one more baby so there is little point dreaming of abs of steel etc but I'd like to drop a couple of stone (again)

* Save money for the Summer Holiday. Target is £500 plus food money. £300 stashed already

* Clear the Clutter. 5 of us and the cat in this house, one day there'll be another baby. Need to make some space!

* Start saving for the Next Big Thing: if we're going to have 4 kids one day then we need a bigger car and a bigger house ( car first while the kids are small ), can't afford either just now. Parents have offered to put in for the car. House needs doing up before I can sell it. Time to start saving. This years target: £1000+

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
