    Not going on honeymoon? Champange and fondu set with necessary ingrediants. :)

    If you go chocolate, personally I really like Hotel Chocolate. In fact, its one of the few brands of chocolate I do like now!

    Otherwise...just champagne. Its always welcome.

    :o The bride doesn't drink.

    except for a sup every now and again

I whisked the one of the spare bed last night and almost cried, what the dickens will it be like in winter ifsummer is requiring two duvets at night (and dh was home, and the cats. I would have had a hot water bottle too if I coyuld have been bothered to go back down stairs:o:o)

    bed is pretty much bed though...until people with heating turn theirs on. dh is warm enough still, but didn't mind the extra duvet (I don't know what I'll do tomorrow night when he goes to work, I'll be freezing). He's a ''hot'' sleeper, I'm a cold one.

    Another brilliant post. I really miss your posts when you are "busy". Stop being so selfish & post more here purely for my amusement!:p

    I would, but I have to be elsewhere most of the time, doing 'rural things,' and after supper I just lose it altogether.... :o

    What kinda timescale should I be looking at? I thought it might be a bit late to get anything from them this year.

    If you are lucky with the weather, 2 months to the first edible one.:)
    If you are unlucky..... :(

    On the subject of waking up cold, I must've fallen asleep on the sofa after I put the cat out late last night. Anyway, at 05.40, I found myself coming round from a nightmare in which we'd just bought a huge, three storey granite house full of slippery terrazzo floors and damp smells, reminicent of public toilets. I had no lower garments on whatsoever and, inexplicably, my face was buried in my slipper on the arm of the sofa. I was frozen through, but pretty happy about the insubstantial nature of the house purchase! :)

    And hopefully the sofa is spongeable. :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I had a drem/nightmare last night that my neighbours barn...actually, an extra barn complex and slightly altered from reality layout, had caught fire and they didn;t want to call the fire brigade so they and I were standing there with woefully inadaquate garden hoses, and I was fretting about the hay and all the pets and just getting a bit p'd off that they kept stopping me calling the fire brigade. I had sort of resigned myself to losing the hay but was really worried about the house/animals.

    Looks like someone has discovered the Elixir of life.
    Just 15 minutes of exercise a day can increase your life expectancy by three years and reduce the risk of dying by 14 per cent, according to research.

    What they meant is that age-related mortality rates are reduced by 14%. Just trips off the tongue, doesn't it?
