I am not quite clever enough to make a link that doesn't go straight to my account!

I actually cooked it for an hour! Never tasted anything so juicy. See pic of claw meat.

Only thing was, the sinews didn't grab much meat as they came out from each section of the legs so had to ferret most of it out with the handle of a fork.

Also took off the shell and no stomach pouch was visible and the inside was full of brown water with lots of bits in so reckon somehow that had burst in cooking. I just emptied the fluid and gave the rest a rinse under the tap. I just ate two bits of meat from either side of where its bum would be. Good size pieces of meat but had the consistency of a pate rather than meat and a stronger taste.

Quite pleased overall.

Hmmmmm. Two bits of 'meat' from either side of its bum - consistency of pate !!!!

You sure that was meat ???

mr and mrs 3dogs my nana wrote a wee saying when she was 42 and lost her husband (my papa) she was widowed with 10 children and my dad being the youngest. the wee saying went like this
"what ever the weather
some day, some where, it all seems fair
as long as we're together"

she was the kindest most loving giving caring and gentle woman i will ever have the pleasure of meeting, and she showed me how to be a mother, how to love, unconditionaly, i will miss her forever, she died 5 years ago aged 100. she loved her family, and i can't help but feel that there is something in you that reminds me of my nana. that is the biggest compliment i could ever give you. give Mr 3dogs hugs, and enjoy being together whatever the weather xxxxxxx
wipes tears.....and sniffs xxxxxxxxxxxxx:A

I'm just catching up so quick Good Morning to you all!

But felt I had to quote this... I'm rubbish at this kind of thing but they are beautiful words, from your nana and also from you :A

Can I ask, did anyone receive anything else other than the first email confirmation from the big lunch for the carling. I have just had an email from carling saying that I'm not eligible as I haven't requested a starter pack, but I have

BTW If anyone is wondering this is for my parents house, not mine.

I've just had the same email saying that I had not requested the pack even though I had the download email from the Big Lunch.:(:(

I only registered one anyway, I have sent an email to see what happens

I got the same cancellation email, HUKD are a little bit cross about it;);)

I've just informed Westie that my flat is not a Youth Hostel as she dumped her belongings all over the place. She doesn't seem to realise how much this bugs my Autism. I'm all on edge and I can't get comfortable.:(

She'll pay for it tomorrow.:beer:

Happy I know what you mean, I get the right hump when people just ""dump" things:eek:Everything has a place and theirs a place for everything;)

Morning everyone and what a gorgeous one it is:)Went out last night on an impromptu trip with Nannylala and QPR. Nannylala got loads of the 89p coffee:T we all got Wenches and brazenly stood their with the mags that were at the till pulling out coupons:oGot BBQ food but only BOGOF:(Nannylala and QPR got whoopsied lamb that had 2 offers on so bought 6 between them and got another £4 off as one offer still kicked in. Then found quite a few various 1p choccies & Haribos;) Then went to Asda and used a cough "few" coupons:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Pooped myself a bit on the second batch because somehow the balance to pay was zero down from £25:eek::eek::eek:but SA walked away after she confirmed them so didnt realise:T
While in A's their was a bit of confrontation over a packet of whoopsied potatoes. QPR picked them up and a lady snatched them out of her hand while saying rather loudly "Their mine" QPR backed down after a few quiet comments along the lines of well youre need is obviously greater than mine :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Then a few minutes later I noticed the woman was putting them back on the whoopsie shelf as had decided she didnt want them:mad:Couldnt resist saying to her"You just snatched them out of my friends hand and now you don't want them,don't you think thats a little unfair" (DONT MESS WITH THE ELITE:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:) Her face was quite funny as I don't think she realised their were 3 of us. Just makes me so cross, no need for people being nasty at whoopsie time but we should have realised it was going to be like that because when they brought out the meat whoopsies people were literally "Running" after the man :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Won't be whoopsying there again;)All in all though a very productive coupon & whoopsie night with a little wombling thrown in for good measure..

When I was doing my shop last night I wanted to get 2 packs of the apples, £2.50 each or 2 for £3 so I could use 2 of the price flop coupons

But in my store they were £1.30 each

Finally caught up....and had some wine and played a few games. No point trying to sleep any earlier as my bedroom feels like a furnace.

Tonights 10p bargain.......I asked the SA how to look after it, she said oh thats easy with orchids, just neglect them and they do fine!

I am well jel of your orchid;)They are my favourites but they obviously have to be pink:rotfl:Try and put it on a south facing window sill if you can, they do far better on windowsills. Just water it once a week but never let it sit in water. When the flowers have died cut it back to the last "notch" on the stem and it will grow back. As soon as you see the last flower is dying cut it back otherwise the stem starts to die:(And if you really get into orchids T's do a fab orchid food in a pink:rotfl:bottle which is brilliant

Forgot to say before Celebrate hope you're feeling a bit better this morning:( and Fudge-cake your post was the longest I've ever seen you do :T:T:T:T:T
Just waiting for a milk&more order to arrive from a £10 credit I had, glad I didnt order cold stuff in this heat though;)

Magicowen

Thanks Fudgecake....as ever I am in awe by your amazing posts, we're lucky to have you
here!

3dogs, glad you both had a nice day yesterday, another one of the Elite we are lucky to
have with us here!

FK - I am in shock from that photo, I have to agree with Purdita!
that's meant to be a smiley showing his guns but he looks a little constipated to me!

Sir F - glad u liked the pooping horse! Loved that you didn't burn the salad! :rotfl:

Hope today is a brighter day for you Celebrate

Hope everyone has a beautiful day!

Morning all! Had a fairly productive afternoon in T's yesterday. Spend my previous JTD voucher on some bogof BBQ chicken and unfortunately the bogof didn't work so has to get CS to sort that one out :rotfl:

Something I did spot were 3 packs of Princes Hot Dogs in Brine. These have been on an end shelf for ages at around the £3 mark but yesterday noticed they were marked down to 97p! This is now cheaper than the cheapest Oak Farm ones that I usually get so stocked up on some and will prob go back and get some more as the family like them as a lazy weekend lunch!

Does anyone know if there are any conditional spend deals coming up in T's in the next week? Want to stock up on Coke Zero whilst it's in A's for 2 for £2 but don't want to rush out and buy now and then find next week there's a £5 off £40 shop appears! Also, any ideas when offers expire in A's so I know how long I've got to get them? TIA
