    I think Maty is trying to make Psycho into something edible :)

    rofl...thanks for making me laugh when half asleep...

    Alas I get all the jokes....

    Yeah if you don't understand Psycho don't worry....it's probably best.....Don't want a huge barney starting on here like on the stop smoking thread. Sure Maty is just winding you up ...

    Cream cake anyone?

    Hugs

    Psycho is lovely.....end of. So is Maty. Having assembled Ikea furniture with both of them I'm sure there's no problemo.(Not so sure about the furniture - how many of us winced at that bit of filming with Jack flopping on his bed!!!)

    Huge barneys on the Stop Smoking thread. Isn't that like putting a load of twitchy nicotine deprived people in one room?

    I've been for an open day today with an estate agents. For some bizarre reason I thought it would involve handing over my CV, a cup of tea and maybe a bit of cake. It was an interview. Having not expected it I was very relaxed! I was looking for a bit of work experience, at this rate I'll have to actually work (This isn't what I signed up for JSA for :rotfl:)

    B x

    p.s. I hope people realise I'm being sarcastic (only about the bit at the end, not about people being lovely!)

    This sounds like excellent news Butti :T And for future interviews you need to convince yourself you are going for tea and cake :rotfl:

    Och phew...Just didn't want another barney...the stop smoking thread regularly has the mods trying in to come in and restore 'peace and harmony'. I have to say it doesn't really work....there's the anti e-cig brigade (or now as they are called - the no nic - cold turkey brigade) v. the e-cig brigade....that's it in a nutshell LOL

    It's stupid cos we all have the same goal so why the anti e-cig brigade have to be thus I have no idea....:mad:

    But still....

    Anyhow sun has just come out and I'm getting hungry

    What? And I missed it. :'( For the record, anything with vanilla in it suits me! Ooh, raspberry ripple cupcakes would be devine! I'll happily be a taste tester as you hone your baking expertise! ;-)
