    Surely rubberwear is very OS - keeps you nice and warm so saves on heating? :D

    Mrs Chip!

    Stop it!

    I can't breathe for laughing!

    And we are going to get ourselves banned!

    Quick, talk to me about stew or liver or something!

    Having lead quite a sheltered life I find it fascinating hearing about other peoples lives.
    My Oh lived an alternative lifestyle years ago, long before I meet him.
    As my mum used to say if we were all the same life would be so boring.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I do! I have just dug my knitting needles out after a very long time, but even if I did knit a gimp mask, i'm not sure I know anyone to give it too! :D

    Only here could you get a discussion ranging from stashes of tinned toms, the dislike or otherwise of liver, horrendous state of vets bills and the subtleties of certain 'alternative' hobbies!!!!

    Keep it up, it's great :beer:
    Quite agree! It has given me a giggle on a tough day - as soon as we get one problem under control, another one pops up. All financial though - we are so lucky to be healthy and happy, and as OH sometimes says "It's only money" (quite annoying actually when there are more bills than income)! The warmth and support of this thread is hugely appreciated by this tired and embattled MSE.
    Hugs all round, the cake xxxxxxxxx

    Um, I think idle chat about liver stew will send far more peeps running for the hills, but it should certainly stop any impure thoughts!

    Anyhoo, in the spirit of OS we are eating tinned peaches that were best before Jan 2006, so if I go quite you will know they are not safe to eat!

    Nope - you're a very sweet person (from what I've seen of your posts over time) - so I am NOT going to explain...

    Now - has anyone ever made crumpets? - because I have a recipe for doing so that I am looking at and wondering about....
