Why is she veggie? are you?? Anyway you can disguise veggies in quorn Bolognese sauce or lasagne or fish pie or fish cakes.make your own veggie burgers just almost puree them up and mix into all of the above.until you have perfected it all give her a multi vitamin.

Goodness I agree, no christmas songs till December .our greenery and tree doesn't go up until the 22nd Dec and the tv only goes on if there's a good family christmas film on.absolutely no xfactor ,strictly,I'm a celebrity etc that is why we play board games,not just at christmas ! My children only g...

Whatever your religious or non religious beliefs who loves Christmas??Well I do...... Its the whole feasting together as a family, the decorating of the tree(ours is real in a pot grown on each year) and the house with greenery from the garden. The making of crackers and mince pies. The making and s...

I firmly believe that the simple life is the key to a happy life,all the complicatiions of today's world is the root of a lot of people's problems.the pressures of the modern world are so heavy but when you just enjoy baking,sewing,gardening or just simple reading in front of a fire are far more rel...

We have tv as hubby can't live without it but I watch very few programmes I read a good book or knit or sew instead.I do watch gardeners world and history programmes.I do love a period drama but have to record them as hubby hates them so I could just live with a laptop.we do watch a film as a family...

Yes I do know about eBay and signed for but my items are only low value so I am covered by the proof of posting.any more expensive items I always get insurance/ signed for.I never sell overseas either as it is a very grey area on what is covered.but thanks for the advice.

I had that recently with an eBay package,it was a light book and had it weighed and measured in the post office under the new rules went large letter,but it seems not all postoffice staff know about the new charges cause the poor lady who bought it had to pay £1:45 to get it and waited 10 days to ge...

We are harvesting,raspberrys lettuce,tomatoes,cucumber,cougettes,spring onions,onions,potatoes, carrots and apples & plums.my corn looks tiny this year compared to last.and I still have no runner beans although the plants have bushed up a bit and have a few flowers now.my brasiccas are a disaste...

Well not unreasonable as I thought that is how I would feel but now I have none I realise how many I use through the winter,I have a few flowers so I am hoping for a late crop.

Ooh no way.enough to make me a veggie!!

My runner beans are a disaster this year.I re-sowed after they rotted with all the wet weather and then planted them out after the frosts then they were hit by the scorching sun for a few weeks and despite watering well I have 8 spindly vines only just at the top of the poles!!I love runner beans as...

Oh mine did the same during the really hot weather.I was watering twice a day but maybe not enough as we are so free draing here,it all flowered and I got no heads at all,really miffed as I have always done well with broccoli and my cauliflowers have no heads either just leaves I am hoping they will...

Looks fab,we have one outside but have only cooked pizza in it I must try bread too.
Well done....

I understand,we are always worried about under-estimating for that reason if we get it really wrong we will "pay for it" in a manner of speaking later on.I will maybe estimate next years figure more cautiously.

Well we always give an actual figure as the accounts lady we use does the tax return so we give the figure in time for renewal.we have never had free school dinners or help with uniform.has the threshold gone down for the exemtion certificate this year? We have had one the last 3 years.the good news...
