    Sure, as long as you bring them ;).

    I have some cassis so there will be Kir Royale. Well, don't know if I can stretch to champagne so it may be Kir Quarterpounder with cheese :cool:.

    I'm sorry, the Royale thing has gone straight over my head!

    I like your spending/saving saying at the bottom of your sig.
    Crank the heating up and enjoy working from home!

    NO!!!!Onesey's are NOT allowed. If you turn up in that you'll have to stand outside and look in. We'll look after your chambord & malibu in case you drop them though. Chambord, malibu and pineapple juice sounds like a winner :T.

    Shall I send you 67p :rotfl:

    Tilly x x

    Don't be fooled that this was a generous offer GG... Tilly just wanted to give to 67p so that she could do a 33p account tidy up!

    Now that I've caught up on 3 pages worth of your thread, it seems while I was away from MFW boards I missed the daily countdown, a toilet seat and a tumble drier incident!
