Hey FC, I know teenagers tastes are way better than they were when I was a kid but is you teen always on the mark? I quite like a bit of granny chic every now and again.

In know I should but I have issues with processed meat. I can barely squeeze into my samples either so need to ease off the mash for a while too.
I think I am turning into Liz Jones.

I spent nearly an hour earlier on the Old Style tuna recipes thread.... I love reading about food ... can't ever make it because it's "just me" and no freezer.... but I do love a good read

Edit: Actually, I've got sausage/mash for the foreseeable future... it was a pack of 8 sausages which needed cooking up, so it's the next 3 meals too

I can't decide whether the prints are cool cutting edge 1983 Littlewoods or really 1983 Littlewoods and grannies still wear them about town.

Trialled them in the ''West end footfall to die for emporium'' and they sold OK over the last week.
Now the other samples are in the bin. I have 2 days to sort it out. I can't believe how utterly stressful it is...usually I am sure, definate and decisive......now I am all dithery and wimpy.

Team them with some fishnet stockings and I'm sure they'll look fine.

And another thing.....those double-dealing, corporate parasites haven't accepted my rent surrender form our solicitor....and I am talking a seriously large sum here.......

......................................as they want to wait for the new tenant (who is going in on less rent but we couldn't risk re-assigning to him) and the 3 other Corp units (who now have new mega- discount leases) to sign on the same day so they don't have to shell out business rates...not even a few days worth.

So I may pop over to the BR board to prep myself for BR again. I have a bad feeling about it all.

Sorry for the rant but it winds me up.

thats the answer, surely?:D

BTW, sausages don't have to be bought, but can be good quality home minced (I actually often cheat ...lifes too short to get skins etc for a dozen sausages, so ''patties'' are good for the comfort food loving men here). Although they do need the fat in them to be toothsome.

Then that's your answer. Stop worrying along the lines of its not going to be the best selling line ever and know that it is something that will sell, but may not be as popular as some of your recent successes. Sold OK still means they sold...

Oh, and its ages since I saw an old lady in florals, all the ones I saw today were in plain taupe with big metal buttons (and I saw a lot today as I was working next to a bowls tournament).
