i have tried making onion gravy from scratch tonight and it was so vile, i threw it away. OH bravely ate a few mouthful (I do love him!).

Think we may be resorting to waitrose ones (sigh).

I know but it feels like my posts are always woe is me.....on a funny note though, we now have a kitchen bin in the shape of a FAB lolly thanks to James' work place.

That sounds great! I am very envious and covet your bin:o.

DH just found this, only good until tomorrow, from O2. Might suit people with kids who send more texts than call. iPhone 3 GS 8Gb: 50 mins call time, 250 texts, 500Mb data, £16.50 per month with free phone on 24 month contract. No good to me as I talk WAY more than that, but might appeal to someone who doesn't make many calls and wants an iPhone!

Half way from genera to courchevel. Hope there's some bloody snow left after all this sun. If not....jagerbombs.

I went to Stratford today (the Shakespeare one as opposed to the Olympics one). Used quite a bit of petrol so tried to fill up when I got back to my home town as running low. Has the world gone mad? Two filling stations I couldn't even join the end of the queue without blocking the road and the other one was closed as it had run out.

Seems so. We are meant to fill cans, and we definitely are not.

The fire service have another think coming if they really think people do not store small amou ts of petrol some times, for gardening equipment if nothing else. Next door there is a large supply of red diesel, sadly we are petrol here.

OH’s got various tubs of fat in the freezer for gravy making, and uses Tesco’s own with it.

Needless to say, I tend to stay out of the kitchen unless it’s either Georgian/microwavable :cool:

I have absolutely no idea how anybody (nice or not) could possibly, ever, get gravy wrong :P

Blame the Govt - they told everybody to panic buy.

I've not seen an iPhone yet .... but I think I want that other sort... er, Android? Although not competent to know if I am making sense even saying that.

Call time'd be OK. Too many texts... not enough data.
