    Who says I don't know how to live huh!
    Have fun Sammy! Tandoori chicken and salad is lovely actually, and think how virtuous you will feel. :)

    Todmorden - it's just very slightly outside Greater Manchester, although it's actually in Yorkshire (the Lancs/Yorks border used to run through the centre of the town, and it still has a Lancashire postcode (OL14) and telephone std code).

    You can see the line on the floor of the town hall where the border used to run, with a white rose on one side and a red rose on the other. I never really understood the rivalry, and consider myself a pink rose! :D:D



    Edit - sorry that's all really dull unless you're from Todmorden :rotfl: :o:o

    BB - I love the smell of homebrew - we've got a barrel on the go at the moment - can't abide drinking the stuff tho.....

    Tonight we're having chicken and fruity curry that I made god knows when - it's been languishing in the freezer....DD's had "on toast" - beans and cheese and fruit (the fruit wasn't on toast).

    I've got a very nice glass of homemade rosehip wine and I intend to watch some dodgy friday night telly.

    Have a great evening all.
