A perfect example of sod's law:
Sky box is playing up... it's two months old, it froze at 3 weeks and needed to be reset, then froze this morning, couldn't move it away from planner or tv guide. I tried to reset it but nothing. Phoned Sky and they're coming to replace it on Wednesday.
After I spent 30 minutes tuning freeview and only getting 32 of the many freeview channels to work, Wayne comes home from work and turns TV and Sky on and... it works again!
So, do i phone Sky to cancel Wednesday or do I say nothing???
Keep the appointment - we had months of this happening so its best toget it sorted while the box is still in warranty;)26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

Luc - you were only asking - dont worry I dont mind - a fair enough question to ask and trust me if I wasnt eating enough it would have been a good thing that you spotted the signs, because for a lot of people it can get out hand very quickly! I do like my food though and it definitely impacts on my running if I'm not fueled enough...
Off to buy cheese for my pasta mmmm carbs
Oh good - was worried I'd offended but better that than if something was wrong I think.:D
We're having lovely omelettes with bacon, peppers, tomatoes and cheese if Hubbles ever stops working (he's on the phine for a work call as I type:mad:)26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

Pooky - jealous - wanted to buy one (cause I cant bake) but they were expensive in Fortnum's (the only place I've seen them)
(on an aside I am still scared about going to the reform club on Weds - I am such a wuss)
I got mine in Ikea for £3. Lakeland do them for about £12 I think but in both cases you need to buy sweeties to decorate them. Was the Fortnums one made or a kit? John Lewis do made ones in various sizes...26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

Mine was £4.99 in Aldi - it's got sugar paste people, animals and sweeties to go with it. Got one from there last year and it held together well....it's on of our christmas traditions...DD's put it together, decorate it and fall out and spend the rest of the day throwing moody looks at each other :rolleyes:"Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W.
