    I've decided it's far too warm for me to sit outside as we don't have a parasol and my pasty white skin can't cope :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    so i'm staying in my sunny yet cool kitchen :D

    Hi Cathy!
    Yep, i normally appear when most people are asleep.

    I think hollie, and stavros are the outsiders to win, because all the other groups are o much better, i think.

    Afternoon all, from a very sunny and warm northwest coast!:cool:
    And for once I'm actually off for the weekend!:T

    Been to Asda, got stuff in for BBQ, sister and nephew's coming over later on, out in garden for afternoon, then BGT watching tonight!:j
    With a few glasses of wine of course.

    And can you believe it, I've never done a BBQ before. Husband doesn't really like them, thinks everyone gets food poisoning from them:rolleyes:
    So have bought some disposable ones, and if I get on OK, might buy a bigger solid one. Although have been entering all the BBQ comps, so you never know.
