    Hi,

    In my HHC i

    Hacked at the biscuits until i could peel them off, then spent ages picking teeny tiny bits of foil off them .:rolleyes: Although they're mostly edible they won't be going on the tree. We'll have to make some normal ones instead.

    S & S Kitchen
    Feed rabbits

    Hi all,

    LL so decidedly piddled off on your behalf...I could scream for you.:mad: Beyond excuses now, what on earth are they playing at.

    Boddy, so very sorry about your Mum, I hope whatever it is /was that agitated her, isn't anymore and your next visit is a better one for you hun. xx



    I don't know what's up with me.....nil motivation or interest in anything really. Could just have a duvet day, every day at the mo.:D I do not like the cold, dank weather plus its really foggy here.

    So I'm admitting I haven't really done anything today.

    My parcel came but I'm missing a biggie from HDN, wierdly it should have been delivered yesterday but says on the website that it was at the depot, then on the van then back at the depot....:confused:

    Sorry Piggers they came at around 2.30 so too late to join you....gutted.


    Awaiting food, hungry so maybe I'll be more motivated after that.

    Good news, more stuff sold on ebay so thats good.
