"SM: Oooh your OH was a police dog trainer!!! :j I have full tank of petrol now so I am on my way to eat your lovely food and listen all the dog training stories. Do you happen to have any rhubarb crumble in you freezer? :rotfl:"

Marru if he gets started on his dogs he is at it all day, very interesting learning how they train drugs dogs and dogs to search for corpses etc,and also how they do the obedience and tracker dog training, but believe me if you have heard it as many times as I have you will not bring the subject up:rolleyes:

PS I still have about 10+ apple, rhubarb, gooseberry and blackberry crumbles in the freezer:p

Fizz what do you search under on Ebay to find that sort of thing? I never knew they did food on there?

its finding a good one locally thats the problem, id have to travel out as such nothing local as far as i can see, if i could drive i know of a fantastic one just outside of sevenoaks but getting there is the problem, again there is one where my dad lives but thats a train and bus ride away there seems to be fewer and fewer butchers around, when i livd in hampshire we did use a local one not all the time but when we could and there is a vast difference between his meat and mr ts

He doesn't get many -- and only a single segment of satsuma 3 or 4 times a year. The vet has OK'd it all.

Ok just passing it on as I wasn't aware till last year when my mates dog got ill.
Mine love carrots and apple as treats;)

ive found all manner of things when im bored and the boys are in bed nah was serching through food and drink catagoury and found it there looks good but is it good value? the lamb sholder/leg i could ask to be cut in half so the size of them would not be a problem wonder if they would do smaller joints of the beef to save me the worry of cutting it, ive cut down on the amount of meat myself and the boys eat and we all much prefer more veg now

Woo Hoo Jumble Bee is back:j :j :j
I hve really missed your posts, was beginning to think you had taken up residence in janeys shed and got locked in:D or that you had been spirited away by some of the orrible students:D or buried alive under the e bay mountain:D

Good to have you back.
Big news - Nyk moved house, whitewing got married, we all survived the challenge more or less and new thread is started.

Just a small rant...why, when I try and do my OH's car insurance do they have "Chicken Sexer" on the list of occupations and not "Buyer"????

shamefully ebay mountain is still alive and well and practically untouched...

Wow I am going to be on there all night now!!!
I never knew there was a food and drink catergory.

Why am I drawn to 120 refresher lollies for £6 ? :rotfl:
