"Yeah mum, my poops looked like abc letters, there was one like this *random hand gesture, maybe a W?* and one was like a zeroooooo, abc poops!" Oh wow erm lovely Keira, "AND I HAD A LOVE HEART POOP TOO!!"

    Weezl, are you lurking? Do I need to grease my casserole dish before I stretch my pastry into it for the chicken pie?

    me too... But the recipe doesn't specify and I've never made pastry with oil before... Thought it might be super non-sticking pastry...

    weird lol... but, saying that... I had a ready meal the other day that just told me to put in the oven without piercing the plastic film for 45 mins.

    I decided to do it anyway instead of risking explodo-food!

    I don't think I greased Krystal. Or if I did it was literally a dab of oil on some kitchen roll.

    For the top I found it easier to stretch out in the bottom of my mixing bowl before going anywhere near the pie.
