    Schiff - are you trying to sweet talk the ladies on here with that slow cooker and spices spiel, eh?

    I was hoping that wasn't the only thing that would work. My vast wealth?

    what's the alternative without a microwave (OH won't let us have one, Chef's!!!!!!)
    Sounds Yummy!!!:Dthe veg that is!!:rotfl:

    MW indispensible really. Perhaps a steamer? I've got one but never used it, so I'm no expert. Staining might be a problem as well.
    Put the influence on your OH - you must know how to by now!
    Putty in your hands.

    I'm a die hard Norwich City fan - so nice to meet all you other football fans!

    On the ball City!

    Actually, not a great fan of footie myself, our house is scouse red but I always keep on eye on our local team (not actually many to choose from in Norfolk are there shoe_gal?)

    No song today I'm afraid. Paid for passports this morning (hopefully they will come back quickly enough so I don't have to pay for ESTAs as I might have mentioned I'm going to see Mickey Mouse next year :T)

    DH is currently at Mr A's but I have to pay him back (he loves online banking, before we joined up he would have expected me not to pay him, I would keep forgetting. Now there's no excuse! :o)

    Did someone mention thighs? Remember these?
    Life is knowing which bridges to burn and which bridges to build! :think:

    Depends what your answer was. I'm not into cradle snatching.
    I couldn't cope.

    I suppose these are the bits I'm not supposed to see. I've got a few muscles plus a brain, so I can't compete.

    You'll have all Delia's cookbooks then?

    What, pray, is there to love about online banking? It just annoys me that all the noughts won't fit into one space on my spread-sheet.
