Oooh, yum, they are nice, thanks EH
.... I'm sure I've been to one in Skye. I know I've been to one in Oban. I used to buy those little miniatures, but I don't actually drink whisky, so I stopped
I like the smell tho.
I've got a book about North Uist somewhere....no, its South Uist.... "A School in South Uist", by FG Rea, subtitled Reminiscences of a Hebridean Schoolmaster, 1890-1913. Its lovely.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
All this talk of Jaffa cakes is (1) making be hungry (2) making me realise I have no jaffa cakes. On the subject of food does anyone know if you can buy a piccalily sauce (but with no bits) like a bottle of ketchup kinda thing? Helps with the sarnies, that's all. Gotta get better with organisation for sarnies (lunchboxes etc) but I'm enjoying it, almost as much as seeing a £5 note remain in my purse nearly all week.
Great bargains at the market EH:T Hope you got some bargains at the charity shop - ours were packed with people today! Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

LOL - Oban is my favourite whisky! We've been to the distillery there too - really interesting. If you ever get the chance to go around the Tobermory one on Mull that's an excellent tour. Book sounds interesting - I might have a look on eBay / Amazon for that.mineallmine wrote: »All this talk of Jaffa cakes is (1) making be hungry (2) making me realise I have no jaffa cakes.

You could always make your own Picallili and chop the pieces smaller? Or buy a jar and stick it in the blender I suppose?! :rotfl: Hmmmm - you've made me think now, I may have to change my plans for tea so I can open one of our jars!
I got an excellent haul of books at the charity shop - which was exactly what I went in for.

Bag of Bones. Some of his I get on with, others I don't. OH will read it though even if I don't! James Herbert is another author I always keep an eye out for - his stuff's brilliant!

Are you feeling a bit better now?
Think I have read that one!! My favourite Stephen King book is The Green Mile, closely followed by Carrie. I like James Herbert as well.
Still feeling really tired and my ribs ache from all the coughing thought my voice was making a reappearance but no such luck
If this had been 2 weeks time I would be mega mad - I have been speedway deprived since November I now need my fix!!

well done for finding the tenner, i'm sure it's mine though lol
wish i could do as well as you at the shopping thing, we went last night and spent a small fortune. Although £14 of it was on 6 boxes of cat food which will last almost 6 weeks and were a good price so i shouldn't regret buying them should i?
got some forms today to change over my neices and nephews savings account. Got a statement from barclays yesterday which told me they're paying me a grand interest rate of .25% so i'm going to say goodbye to them. Bet the abbey one's aren't much better so they are all on the move.
my sewing machine has tried to eat my finger today which has made it bloomin painfull, but i do have another two matching cushions. Just one more seat cushions to do and the main sofa is finished cept for the throw cushions. It's looking really good (thank goodness!)0 -

:eek: If that's the one I'm thinking of it scared the bejesus out of me :eek:, great read though (goes off trying not to think about where she takes the glass and..........:eek::eek::eek:).A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0
