WCS, that's what we're dreading. This might have been summer 2012!!
I am hinting at the RV re the kenwood and soup. Trying to look wee and helpless and sweet and let me tell you - the last two take some doing!!
choked on my coffee there :rotfl: Sorry, know we don't know each other but from your posts you seem an awful lot like me!!!! I was out walking with my eldest yesterday, and loads of trees had blown down in the recent severe gales - quite impressive, almost jurassic to look at. Anyway i'm over them, under them and dragging bits home for firewood when a rather sarcastic voice said "mm, not looking much like a middle aged women riddled with arthritis!" (my cry when i'm trying to get someone to make me a cup of tea!!!!). Shot myself in the foot there then!
Worth a try though!0 -
Snow? I'll give you snow. I'm in Stockholm and its freezing and snowing on and off. just come back to hotel after our site visit for a cuppa and to put on additional layers.
have to go out to dinner with friends of a colleague and i dont wanna. they arent my friends - i'd rathrr be left to do my own thing but i think it'll look rude if i dont. :-(I wanna be in the room where it happens0 -
Hopefully the dinner will be fun VJsmum. Just wrap up warm! It was still raining when I left yesterday...
Dull here at the moment, so am hoping for a bit of sun and warmth tomorrow to help the gardening and washing along.0 -

I have found most men respond to the, Eee! well, I'm not sure how to do it!. Can I pick your brains? Weak and wooly woman approach quite well. It works best for me over the phone, At 6' 2" i am regarded as ' Strapping! ' no matter how old I am.
Mardy:- I'm pleased that you have a diagnosis at last, if tablets sort it out that's great. I have Kenwood envy..get stuck in!
Wilf55:- welcome, any ideas are welcome. most of us are watching the pennies, unfortunately the pounds are sneaking out of the window behind our backs! :rotfl:Give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we may be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temparate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune, and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.”0 -
It's not a proper 5 million pound kenwood, just a fifty quid one for Mothers day
I am not yuppy material!
I switched it on for a few seconds then hid behind the door. I'm getting there!0 -
Mar - is your Kenwood the stick thingy with all the different feet and the whisk, the jug and round thing? I think it's called the tri blade? If so I got one for my Christmas, which arrived nearer Mothers Day, right enough. Brilliant. Excellent for blending soup but leaves a little texture in it as well. I was a bit challenged to begin with getting it all to fit together but I think I have it sorted. The only thing I haven't tried is the potato masher as there is just me and it seems a bit OTT for one person.Solar Suntellite 250 x16 4kW Afore 3600TL dual 2KW E 2KW W no shade, DN15 March 14

I have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001HZVZQK/ref=asc_df_B001HZVZQK7229161?smid=A6YVFLWPZG0J8&!!!!!googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B001HZVZQK which has a chopping bowl with blades thingy and a blender which sits on top. Didn't pay near this much for it though - was on sale in sainsbugs. It's really great!0 -
The tri-blade thing is a stick blender with other attachments but seems to me to be ideal for a small household. I do have the original Kenwood with bowl and every attachment you can think of - including a bean slicer, potato peeler, cream maker, sausage maker, etc, etc. I should maybe find a keen young cook who would be able to get more use from it (and lift it out of the cupboard!).Solar Suntellite 250 x16 4kW Afore 3600TL dual 2KW E 2KW W no shade, DN15 March 14
