    Oh, I thought you might be going into business :o

    My Pa, (aged 88!) wanted me to suggest that DS2 went into modelling to earn while he is at university
    "I don't mean glamour modelling, but all my catalogues have young men advertising, and they must get their models from somewhere"
    Since then I've been thinking of extra ways a handsome boy could earn money.
    I'm sure there are middle aged women (like me :o ) who pay to have a naked-apart-from-a-pinny male cleaner for eg. (If only I wasn't in debt ;) )
    And DS2 is quite good at housework.

    Funny how I wouldn't suggest anything similar for DD-how sexist is that?

    Oh Strumpet, does this mean the cream horns have to go? I don't think there's a value version - how very sad...

    I'm not doing very well on the old free bingo today. Anyone else won anything yet?

    No they don't have to go - it just mean I have to get of my backside and make my own.
    How hard can it be?
    On second thoughts - all that squirty cream - maybe not eh!

    As long as you don't need paying and can bring your own squirty cream I'm sure your references would be satisfactory :D

    I remember some fine times with squirty cream Strumpet :o ahem....

    Perhaps you'd care to share some of your recipes with us. Unfortunately, I cannot consume too many cream horns, due to having a figure bordering on the voluptuous, unlike the lovely Ms Oyl who is tall and very slim. I remember her from her TV days....

    I got a voucher booklet from Tesco the other day, detailing all the changes they've made to our little Tesco in Nelson and enticing me in with 4 x £10 off when you spend £30 typ offers. It looks really good and I can use the opportunity to fill up my storecupboard & freezer. Essentially it's £40 free food!
    What caught my eye was the "Feed a family for £25.72 a week" feature. This used Tesco Value stuff primarily but the meals looked delish. I'll dig it out and post it on here - then we can all benefit!

    Ps Cold seems to be abating thanks goodness.
    Pps: Am I allowed to "advertise" in this way"?

    Oooh I haven't seen this in my local Mr T's - must have a closer look. Anyhow, I would say that this was advertising - more public service!!!
