Hi PJ so glad you are feeling a lot stronger today.........have u tried putting a tiny touch of mustard in the potato and leek soup takes the super plain taste off it

PJ, well done.

So glad you are feeling better Pauline - hopefully you will continue to improve.

Thanks for the link Jen - I have saved it and will definitely give them a go. May even see if one will grow in a pot here - if it grows where you are it should be ok.

You girls are good with the weight loss. My problem is willpower.

Well - footy is on now (my man is an AFL fanatic) so I am going to have a quick look at the threads and then off to bed with a book.

Hi rosie i just have it in a pot and have had to stake it today.......just put in ordinary potting mix so will see...got the plant from bunnings....have chillies growing as well as the OH loves chilli on just about anything.........i cook a very hot curry then adds chilli to it......makes sure i dont pinch any of his food lol

Tomorrow we have the footie roast thing in the morning and then the whole saga starts again at lunchtime.......but at least we are off for breakkie thankfully:)

Off to Bunnings in the morning - I needed to get some cat grass for Milo so I will look while I am there.

Now I am going to bed - hope everyone has a lovely evening.

Nite nite all been a super long day..........do have a lovely peaceful night everyone.......and i hope you girls down south are not too cold.......still have not had to put the heater on here yet.......cant believe just how mild and balmy it is

See you all tomorrow......Jen
