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?

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:Tilly_MFW_in_6_YRS wrote: »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
