    Those cakes are incredible! Just bathed the poor old dog and he's now gone into demented puppy mode, so feels better. As to us eating doggy leftovers as he's having a diet of pasta, rice, fish and egg we thought it better for the budget.(We don't normally have his leftovers -honest)!Had my first NSD ever today and do I feel good or what? The match just started I feel a yawn coming on.

    Melly B - welcome and OMG re the giant yorkshire pud. I LOVE yorkshire pud (I mean I like most foods but anything batter or pastry based...WOW!)

    Which leads me to...

    Blondie! A former WW leader!! May I just say, I'm glad you're back to the darkside with your malted milk festish. However you've obviously been slacking with those as you have baggy trousers (cue Madness tune). Well done for that, lovely!! I am porky mcpork thanks to comfort eating during recent Horrific Break-Up (warrants capitals). Must get back on the WW wagon...

    Tilly seriously you're a genius. On the day of the calendar shoot you're the official caterer. Cakes of the cup and fairy variety all round!

    Re the Easter Bonnet parade it would be lovely to see your neph in the massive questionably-gay hat however I get your point re weirdos on here. Can you pixellate his face like they do to Brangelina's kids in Hello?:rotfl:

    Blondie and all ladies! :j :j :j :j :j :j :j


    Finally I have something useful to say - Wet and wild cosmetics (which I learned about on MSE forum last year) are having a half price sale in April and free p&p on all orders over £10! Pretty much everything is more or less 99p, so that's about ten things for a tenner and no p&p!! Last time they did this I got 20 things (and I am a make up snob) but I thought they were lovely. I got all different stuff. Wet and Wild is a young fashion brand - perfect for all you young glam naturallly gorgeous waiflets looking for some fun fashion colourful gear. I hope no-one tells me off for this but its a bargain (and I might be skint but I am getting more).. They have mineral make up for £2.20 for a huge pot!!!! I am so excited! Gotta try it. Here's the website: http://www.wnwbeauty.co.uk/

    Blondie - that Clacton trip will do you a power of good honey. As for Sparky- gosh - it must be hard doing the ignoring thing as you are so obviously such a lovely girl and it can't come naturally to you. At least youhave a night off. Why don't you start your own company and employ me?? I would work for you X

    How's your nan doing? Ok I hope. The same thing happened to my nan in 1978. My dad has had hip replacements as well RR X

    To all ladies: Younghusband has seen your pictures and is dazzled by your collective pulchritude! We don't seem to have exotic creatures like you where we live (good job as I couldn't hack the competition!!!!

    I bet no-one comes on here tonight as England are playing.

    Shearer is going to manage Newcastle! To Alan from a geordie lass: Sheeearrrer! he chatted me up once in a posh bar in Newcastle. I didn't follow football and didn't know who he was. I think he had a broken leg.
  • Rosered Wed n Wild cosmetics are fab! I tried them a few years ago and i use their eyeshadows now! As for owning my own company..i wish! I would employ every single one of you and tilly could keep us all in cupcakes!
    The Alan Shearer comment made me laugh!!!:rotfl:

    Tilly - I mean it. YOU ARE THE WORLDS BEST CUPCAKE MAKER.

    Robsmum- congrats on the NSD!!!!!!!!!!!!!:j :j :j :j :beer:

    I also must confess i love yorkshire pudding. Nothing better than 3 fat, throbbing *ahem* sausages on a mound of mash inside a yorkshire pudding. Smothered in onion gravy..... Ive just dribbled on myself.

    Ebony - Im always in Kingston Primark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    To Robsmum - sorry about your poor dog - its hard when they get old isn't it - as the responsibilty is on us to know what's best. If he's happy but old, at least that's ok - and as long as he is drinking plenty.

    Daisy - yes to Gary Liniker - met him when I was a press officer during Euro 96 championships at Newcastle - a true gentleman and exceptionally good looking, and a very funny man - I remember his son was poorly so all us journos and POs bought him a gift for his boy, who was poorly. Don't know what happened to his son. As for Peter kay, I am not a chubby chaser as a rule, but he is so funny, which has to equal very attractive! :)

    Hi Blondie - I wish!

    As for Yorkshire puddings, I love them. usually I make my own, but if in a hurry I use the tesco value batter mix which makes great YPs, toad in the hole (ahem) and pancakes - 11p per pack I think, and a total bargain - you just need one egg. Oooo I am on a money saving spree.

    Younghusband says we must cancel Lovefilm as it costs us £16 a month and we can't afford. I am gutted. I am up to series 3 of Dallas and will go under without my daily fix
