    BB, if he's not there by your specified time, put them in black bags and leave them in the garage out of your way.

    It sounds like you're starting to think clearly about things BB, maybe this couple of days break has been good for you whatever happens.

    Can you put cranberries in sweet stuff? I'm probably going to do baked apples or a crumble for xmas dinner and thought I could maybe chuck some in that to make it more xmassy?

    Had a nice lunch with in-laws - DH had a fall tho so not so great. Came home, had a nap, watched carp on telly and now eating fruit and drinking gallons of water in an effort to counteract all the rich foods I've had lately.

    Oh no Pooky, is he ok?

    Cranberries have a very sharp flavour Ames, so unless you are adding them to something that is already very sweet, you will probably need to add a little extra sugar too, I would imagine.

    I have been stood up! I was supposed to be going to my ex bf for tea, but he hasn't contacted me all day and didn't turn up at 6pm when he was supposed to! Still haven't heard from him - what an idiot, but I am not going to let him upset me again!

    RATM is number 1! Joe is no. 2, and I'm quite happy about that!

    Am back from parents, got some presents and still quite anoyed at my sis. She moans that getting a pressie for £10-15 between me and Pint is too much, then says she spent a ton of money on a HD TV! How does she work that out?!?!?! Mum is annoyed as she puts her TV and stuff over moving into a house with no damp, which they could afford and get LHA for!

    Was lovely seeing my parents though, mum is so happy she's lost weight (amd I am, she's usually been down about it) And Pint has a new admirer in my niece

    Yeah he's fine thanks. He thought he'd be able to cope with the walk from the carpark into the pub.....clearly not and hopefully he'll stop being quite so stubborn now. :rolleyes:

    Hmm, if I can get some cranberries I might try making the sauce thing and using that to stuff the baked apples. If it doesn't work out I can always make some more with other stuff. Or just have a liquid dessert...

    BB, you know your relationship better than us, so please don't take offense at what we're saying, you know what you want and how things really are. It's just hard for us to sit by when we know you're worth so much more than him (or the 'him' we read about - but no-one ever talks about the good stuff in a relationship, so others can often see something more black and white or one sided than it really is), and that you should be with someone special who treats you really well.
