    Oh I meant for the family........not me......I would have had a lettuce leaf and some quorn of course.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    oops tried and failed to do a multiquote! BBAM - are you reading it yourself or to your DS? Just wondered if your DS was as fascinated as mine by WWII and evacuation etc.... he asked my dad if he got evacuated - he's from a wee rural village! I think he thought they just moved all the kids about.:rolleyes:

    and tried to quote Jinky - yes Lou what about those chocs...:rotfl:

    Thanks Beanie, went out in jeans, longsleeved top and waterproof jacket and the weather changed:mad:! Scorching afternoon here so had a lovely time despite not being dressed for it:D.
    Saw a lovely campervan today and remarked how much I'd like one and DS (yes the ten year old) said "mum, I think you really want to focus on moving house first". it's like living with my very own Jiminy Cricket:o!
