I haven't been home before Stupid o clock this week so it's untouched. Hopefully will get a chance to play tonight. |

Half past Thursday.
Can't guarantee there'll be any left though.
I'd suggest you tootle down to Sainsburys and snatch a slow cooker for 8 pounds.
It's all in the slow cooker now, working its magic.
I swapped half the ketchup for smokey bbq sauce.
I am incapable of sticking to a recipe. |
