    Hiya, I have a bit of a vicar of Dibley moment here.........

    At 3pm we went to my Neice's 1st birthday party and our intentions were not to have much to eat as we have been invited for a meal next door.

    Anyway there were Potato wedges with garlic dip and home made plate pies and a HOME MADE LEMON MERINGUE PIE!!!!!! so I had a little bit seeing as they had gone to so much trouble...........now I cant blummin move and dinner is being served next door in half an hour:eek:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
