  • Wonder what drugs I want for Xmas :confused::beer:

    Oh that smily just told me - hangover cure!:p
  • Did anyone catch it?
    What a brilliant prog I really love James Wong he has such a lovely presenting style and I just melt when he smiles.
    I think I will try the hangover cure and the leg cream
    Bonus is that there is a new series next year:j

    yeah, he's a bit of a 'dish' isn't he? I haven't seen any of these programmes. I'm just wondering if I can slice up the iffy oranges in the freezer and leave them to dry in my dehydrator? WHat do you think?

    I should think that would work, plus it will give you more freezer space, always a bonus at this time of year

    Just sliced up the oranges and they're in the dehydrator. It's going to be a fabulous natural air freshener! I think they will be wired onto my wreath and any extra on the tree....if they work out!

    Me, something to render me unconscious on 24th December at approximately 3pm and wake me up on 26th December at approximately 3pm!

    Jokes apart - I did not find the programme very good this time around, the recipes are a bit too fiddly. But some good ideas all the same, if you can be bothered faffing around like that.
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    you can dry them in a slow oven overnight or put them in an airing cupboard for a couple of days
