Are you the one that deleted my jokes then?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

no, that wasn't me. Most likely they were reported to the Forum Team who then dealt with them.

Beki I've got everyone descending on me this year too.
I'm going to try to get a couple of those 4 bird roasts from Aldi using the £5 voucher in the Mirror on Thursday.
They are on offer then at £7.99 so it works out cheaper than a Turkey and according to the Daily Mail yesterday, they are coming out top in the taste tests. I've also got a nice whoopsied rib of beef which I'll bung in the slow cooker overnight.
I'll make my red cabbage with apple a couple of days before as it's better reheated. I'll also do the cauliflower cheese and the carrot and swede mash the day before and warm them through in the oven while the meats cooling. Same with the yorkshire puds. I often make them then just bung them in the oven for a couple of minutes while I'm dishing up.
For the starters I'm doing smoked salmon stuffed with prawns in a seafood and dill sauce so that's easy. And for the puds I'll make a trifle the night before and defrost one of the £1 profiterole gateaux on the day!
I'm determined not to spend all morning in the kitchen like I usually do.....and I'm bu&&ered if I'm doing any washing up either!!!

We had one of those 4 bird roast a couple of years ago and we weren't impressed by it.

Well so much for sleeping!

Have started catching up now, nowhere near finished yet!


Fudge Cake, I hope you’re feeling better now?
Elsie1969, sorry to hear about the kittens but your cat is GORGEOUS, I love how human cats can look sometimes!
Beki88 good news on the insurance!
HappyChappy, as you know my dad was a farmer and he was very health and safety conscious. He moved into a static caravan when my parents separated and one day the push-lever on the toaster broke. He decided to solve this by jamming a broom handle down on it wedged against the ceiling, he then walked off and forgot about it, cue small fire.

HOWEVER this is nothing for a man who, two months later, couldn’t light a match for a bonfire because the matches were damp. He decided the best course of action was to put the matches in the microwave on full power to dry them out, cue small fire and a severely charred (but still working!) microwave. I could go on but I’d be here all week!

Well, I had a great couple of days in Brum with a 7.5 hour EXHAUSTING Saturday trip around Merry Hill/Hell, but nearly had a row over a parking space, I’m NOT sitting and waiting 15 mins for a space for some !!!! in an enormous grey 4 x 4 to come around the corner and try and bully me into submission and take the space that was obviously mine! Obviously he thought a woman wouldn’t be good at parking, quick as a flash he barely had time to blink and I’d darted behind him and got my car in the space hahahaha! Serves you right!!! You don’t mess with the Jess lol! My friend that was with me was laughing so hard she could barely breathe hahahaha!

Nearly got trouted at Cr4dley He4th over the 1p veg crisps, I put some through the ss till to check the price and took them out to the car, then went back in for another 10 bags. I couldn’t go back to the ss till as the woman had already tried to trout me over the pack of 1p peanuts I’d found so I tried to pick a teenager as I reckoned they’d be doing a weekend job and wouldn’t care, unfortunately I picked a nervous sort (oops) who called the manager over, and naturally when you don’t want one they come right over. I’d already asked her where the loo was before so I made an excuse that I’d be back in 2 mins because I couldn’t wait, swearing under my breath the whole time because it’s the only place I’d seen loads of packs. I decided to go back because it’d look suspicious if I legged it (up the lift by the loos, down the travelator and out of the door), and she was sat looking around for me, and gave me the thumbs up, I couldn’t believe it, I was prepared to be grilled over it! So off I walked with my bag full of 1p crisps all with the manager’s blessing woohoo!! SA even asked me where they were so she could nab some lol!

I know there are some posters on here who go to Cr*dley so I didn’t go overboard on the veg crisps, found a 1p conical glass too but it had no barcode on the bottom, I wondered if another MSEr had left it for that reason as it would have to go through as a full-price coloured one. :eek:


Found the Finest mixed truffles in several stores as well as the Cadbury Bliss toffee, correct barcodes each time, tried in several stores but they scanned at full price each time

Sorry, I just find that so funny:eek::eek:

Oh and 'Spoons'
Every one sits in a circle & you have a circle of spoons but one less than people playing. Pack of cards, deal all the cards out. Look at your cards as you need to get 4 the same (i.e 4 jacks or 4 7s) pass on one card to left & recieve one card from right, keep going until you get your set of 4. Then sneakily take a spoon, or watch for someone else grabing a spoon, once people cotton on they have to grab a spoon asap. Bit like musical chairs. Remove another spoon & start next round
