I had a really craptastic day. Which after the uberly bad craptastic night I had last night it's probably not surprising.

Repeat of September, anyone?

This blows.

I feel so messed up and nothing makes sense.

coffee dregs, grapefruit shell, and crumbs from a slice of cranberry nut bread

Here is my window cleaning trick for those of you who don't like or can't afford nasty chemicals and because it is too good not to share. My grandma taught me this, she used to do it in the war when there wasn't fabric to waste as cleaning rags.

fill a mixing bowl/ small bucket with water as hot as you can stand to put your hand in
add a generous splash of lemon OR white vinegar (lemon is nicest and it stops cats from scratching the window frames)
scrunch up lots of newspaper (newspaper doesnt make smears you see, no fibres to come off.)
Dip the newspaper into the mixture and wipe over the window pains, go over with dry newspaper to give it a pretty gleam.

happy guy fawkes day every-one. :)

Any tips for whether it would be possible to make this recipe in the slow cooker, and how long I would cook it for?
