To be honest I googled it:o
However I did know what it meant, just went looking for a short clear explanation.

:rotfl:
I was thinking of changing my sig just then

If in doubt ask a Flylady
Wise women for the 21st Century...

Maybe I'll add - and really good googlers...:rotfl: :rotfl:

Ok what can I add to beef (at least I think it's beef), carrots, onions and gravy. I have mash I could make up. Would cabbage go?

defo (presumably 'on the side')

is it a sort of stew? will go lovely with mash...

Ok I think it's lamb now :rotfl: I asked Mr G to go to the chest freezer and see if he could come back with some type of meat and I got bacon and something brown which I've cooked I've just dumped a load of frozen veg in as well and not sure if I can be bothered to chop up the cabbage :rolleyes:

http://www.onechildoneworld.org.uk/ I'm going to email this one to my sons school as a suggestion, a smaller one, the ones which tend to get less support, they will probably say no as they are still awaiting charity status.

Crafty thank you, I always though a fat quarter as a big guy who played American football at quarter back ~~:rotfl:

Make stew and dumplings with it and then add veg and gravy as required.

I'm making mince bol tonight!

Evening all...

Apologies for absence. I relapsed. And then my flat was bad. And then I felt bad. And then I felt bad for not posting. And now my flat is bad-der still.

SO

Off to blitz the bedroom. How is everyone? I tried to read from where I left off but too many threads!

Cardiff welcome back, sounds like you missed us as much as you were missed! Good luck in your recovery

Oh and forgive me but just got this and it seems suitable (Sorry Cardiff bit of a dig at 'some' men)


NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES

Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for six weeks.

Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes.

There is no fast food.

Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework, and complete science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of 'pretend' bills with not enough money.

In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week.

Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send cards out on time--no emailing.

Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment.

He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Urgent Care.

He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a social function.

Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.

The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.

The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, adorn themselves with jewelry, wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep fingernails polished and eyebrows groomed.

During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties.

They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.

They will need to read a book to the kids each night and in the morning, feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair by 7:00 am.

A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size and doctor's name. Also the child's weight at birth, length, time of birth, and length of labor, each child's favorite color, middle name, favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear and
what they want to be when they grow up.

The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last man wins only if... he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.

If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years eventually earning the right.To be called Mother!

After you get done laughing, send this to as many females as you think will get a kick out of it and as many men as you think can handle it.

Well, I have my evening cut out for me. Got home to find an email from someone who's doing a radio interview in the morning and wants some background information. I'm the only person it seems that can provide it it seems. So, I'm off to write a long email back. I fear flying may well take a back seat this evening.

Will report back once the research email is sent.
