  • Booo, I thought you'd come on to post a ring pic! That cookery book was on my Amazon recommendations, looks lovely but in the name of skinniness I resisted!

    Want the good news Tete? Its only £5 on the book people and the book has been written by the bloke who did all the recipies for 'Cook yourself thin' and all the cakes are low fat, and mostly use fruit, vegetables and natural oils to provide moisture.

    Lol everyone on Amazon is giving it 5/5 anyway!

    Okay, want to be scared? While looking for a decent jelly mould for the engagement party (I know, I belong in the 50s) I came across this.

    Anyone know of a nice mould? I'm already planning my engagement party menu even though NIM hasn't found out about the pig yet. As soon as we know about the pig will be putting out a big invite to anyone who wants to come, Birdie and Tete I know you're in reasonable range where some others are hours and hours away, so would be lovely to see you, please feel free to bring other halves. Men can marvel at big meat on a stick.

    How did those oreo cupcakes turn out Birdie? Did they taste as nice as they look?

    Blokes are never fat - just big boned.

    Went to the gym for a swim yesterday afternoon to get a text just as I had put my swimming trunks on that OH wanted to go shopping in Guildford. Well it was 4:20pm and she wanted picke dup at 5pm. 1 swim down the tubes and I had to drive back home, in traffic, to get wallet and sat nav. Took 1hr and 20 minutes to get there.

    She did try 2 dresses and got a suitcase after SqueezyJet. We did get a nice meal out of it though.

    And yet women have to convince so many of them that size doesn't matter! ;)

    Well that depends on what area of the human body your talking doesn't it!

    Also depends on what you ladie types refer to by size. Such a qualitative thing be better if it was quantitative!

    What is this like measuring volume by sticking something in a full beaker of water and seeing how much water is displaced? Would do away with the whole 'mines 12"' jokes although I'm not sure "mine is a quarter of a pint!" is any better!

    ETA: Oh my mind has gone bad now, I'm imagining a quarter pint of c0ck.... its not a pretty sight..... Someone steer the conversation around please!

    I hope he's not a fat bloke!

    :rotfl:

    Morning!! (Or kind of nearly afternoon?!)

    My bank says I got paid this morning, funny cause I haven't really seen a penny of it! After all the direct debits, board ect I've gone from £240 to £50 within minutes :rolleyes: Still, it's way more than I actually need for the week - just need £5 for petrol.

    Hasn't the ring come yet Dinaaaah? Make it hurry up!!

    As for jelly moulds - amazon have some nice ones! Couldn't you get some of the classic pig jelly moulds to keep in theme with the poor little piggy roasting on a stick? This is quite nice though click ... would you have to cut that kind of like a cake?
