_pale_ that's just wrong lurky, plain wrong.

I haven't even as much as touched a naked banana in the almost 18 years since I was expecting my DD1 after craving them constantly during my entire pregnancy. Cannot bear the smell, the consistancy, oh stop please, it's making me shudder _pale_

And parsnips, well....yuck.

Sorry.

Been doing some searching online, Delia Online has some amazing recipes, I am now actually fancying Pad Thai which is my favourite food of all time, but I've never been able to replicate it correctly which is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING :mad: :mad: :mad: (I used to work for a Thai Bank where the majority of staff were Thai and they made AMAZING food :drool: that's the only thing I miss about the place :rotfl:) trying to make one this evening could take my mind of the ole grog you reckon?

Hey Budgie good to see you.

Been a diggin in the garden,,,gorgeous day.

Bizarre isn't it re; caffiene. Alcohol depresses, caffiene stimulates as does nicotine (can you tell i've been on the drug course!). Wonder what our bodies and minds would be like totally 'drug' free. So many people are constantly slowing themselves down and speeding them selves up artificially.

I still drink far too much coffee, and smoke too many fags. but hey ho...one thing at a time.

Wheres BHB by the way - I need to see him I working on his cuttings

:wave::wave::wave::wave::wave::wave::wave:

Sorry - went AWOL again

Busy busy .........

Fay ... alas Duck is off the menu ! :eek:
We've left them a bit too long and they are a pain in the aris to pluck.
Will have to pay your P&P instead Fay if thats OK

Drinking wise - not brilliant but not too bad. Things have calmed down a bit now at home and work so this week should be a good one (fingers crossed). Still hovering about the 30-35 units a week ... at least its not creeping up. Would like to get it down to 25 though.

Anyway - must dash - busy times ...... Anyone want a tatty small house and a smallholding ? We are considering giving it up ... just too much to do with home education, work and kids .... there is always something to do and something we haven't got the money to do properly!

Have a good weekend.

BHB

For those that haven't got a morbid distatse for bananas and parsnips, its really really nice

Never done Thai, but its got to be worth a go )
