Hi again all,

quick evening update before we head out for a well-deserved drink!

Finished the first section today, so 25% done! Woo! Also managed to compare an investment-linked annuity to a TVR Tuscan. A first for scottish journalism I think.

night xx

Good after noon everyone.

It's raining again.

Had dinner at my Mum's last night, so spent all of yesterday cooking. Made some gorgeous swedish rye bread and some herb and onion rolls. I also cooked some of my snails.
I made traditional snails with the garlic/herb butter in the shell and I also did snails with aubergine, mushroom and brandy. Delicious. They went down a treat as a starter. The main course which my mum provided was whole dressed crab.MMMMMMMMM!!! haven't had any in ages and it was fab.
All in all a great evening and very cheap, HM bread, free cycle snails and free crabs.

I've recently found a local forum called neeps, it's a local forum for local people
We talk alot about recycling, local events, plants, animals etc, but what is exciting about it is that they're all from Aberdeenshire and there is a meet arranged and we're talking about a craft circle. So maybe friends on the horizon.

Hope everyone is having a nice relaxing weekend.

Hi All,

Head is much much better thanks Rose ~ don't get migraines often but that was a blinder I have also discovered that I'm allergic to something in sparkling wine/Champagne ~ everytime I have some I am really ill afterwards oh well, just stick to the vodka instead

Been to the first Food and Drink festival in Wirral ~ it was fun and we came back with lots of nice things for the freezer. We also bought raspberries to make some raspberry vodka and Werthers Originals to make toffee vodka ~ should be perfect for Xmas (yes, I know its way too early to be thinking about Xmas )

Hope everyones ok and enjoying the last long bank holiday weekend for months and months

Philippa xx

Steering had been turned round so turning steering wheel right you are going left, left you are going right? I couldnt do it!!!!:eek: :eek: But it was so funny the whole club were watching in the end!!:eek: The French visitors were killing their selves.:rotfl: :rotfl: Rained really hard yesterday afternoon and we got soaked :eek: and covered in mud :eek:

The best fun I`ve had in ages and guess what? only thought about `it` a couple of times.:j :j

poor you. I can imagine the frustration. You're doing really well. Very impressed with you word counts.

I'm trying to keep my pecker re:my non-kitchen. What it has made me realise, is that it's almost impossible to live without a sink. It's amazing just how much you use it.

Philippa - Raspberry vodka sounds absolutely fab. Think I might make some myself.

Messy - Sound like you've been having a great time.

Hi guys
waiting for my firneds in NZ to come on line guess they tried something similar to the raspberry vodka as I have been here over an hour and now have a seriously numb bum but it was a good chance to catch up with all your chat.I really feel like I have missed out as I can't come on here very often due to selfish OH!!
messy you had me in stitches it sounded like such a laugh
dj today is another day and you deserve to give yourself a break you must be knackered, treat yourself first and then have another go.
So what are everyones plans for today?
It has just stopped raining here and now the sun is out, it is looking like it may be nice so I guess better make the most of it. A dj on the radio said it was only .... days till xmas - aaaarrrrgggggg!
speak soon and take care all

Thanks wanubs it was soooooo funny.:rotfl: :rotfl: It was the reverse steer thing, I would stop (your not allowed to stop when trialing it scores against you.) think I need to go left so would steer right but as soon as I started to move brain went to automatic and started steering the right way if you get what i mean!!!!

We also did whats called a punch challenge!!! You have a numbered card attached to trialler then you drive round finding the numbered punches to punch the card.

The guys that set it up were really devious though and put them in some really difficult to get to places. People were getting stuck and had to be winched out!!:eek: They also put some red herrings in!! I ended up running around down steep muddy banks looking for them before we took trialler down to them.
