  • I loved Nancy Drew when I was a child. So much so, we scoured charity shops for DD and bought loads of them for her and she loved them too :T

    I've managed to escape I'm not sure what has happened to the others

    I think the scones where drugged, all the lights went out and then I felt a cold blast of air possible from a freezer being opened and somewhere I heard a muffled scream............................
    There's a reason I was trying to empty my freezer :rotfl:

  • Hi MWC, I've never made this - is the recipe on your diary, or can you ping the URL?

    Mr T loves ginger beer so I'd be very popular :rotfl:

    Thanks, Tilly x

    Tilly, your thread moves so very fast and it has become a nice hangout for many MFWs. I see that you have been serving scones and tea - Alas I do not drink tea, may I have a coffee please?

    Yet another Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Enid Blyton (not just SS and FF, anything written by her - started with Noddy :D) fan here. I still have a big collection of those books and have kept them even after both my sons have outgrown them (May be I'll read them again in my second childhood :)

    Yep, the same mysterious 'disappearance' pattern of MSErs is reoccurring. Although she doesn't usually go for three at the one time - perhaps with the nights drawing in and all....

    I only hope that Radish, Greent, and ATT at least managed to enjoy the promise of scones with many jam options, and a choice of tea before.....I can't even say it:eek:
    Radish, ATT and Natty, do pop by and post or thank soon, otherwise no one will pop round for a cuppa again :(

    If I could do an evil cloak swishing exit I'd be doing that now :rotfl::rotfl:

    Errm, can someone raise the alarm or come and get me please. She said she didn't want me for the freezer (some muttering to be heard about saving that for Natty) but she did want me for something else; I've never stopped ironing, cooking and cleaning since I got here and don't even get me started on being forced to count the toilet rolls so the number be added to the spreadsheet:o
