    Some good old names on there ....

    Just noticed on there..... that Spirit is in the adjoining county to where I am now. I'd have thought that LIR was closest to me, but maybe Spirit's only 10 miles away and staying VERY quiet about it :)

    Good point about the names. Where has everybody gone?

    The original NP Carolt for example.

    PN - I am next door but a lot more than 10 miles. When I can multi-task (breathe and speak) again we could have a NP meet up.

    Story of my life :)

    If I had my own house, where I knew I was going to live for years, and if it had a good pantry, then I'd be stocked up, more out of laziness than fear of armageddon.

    I've had

    * bowl of muesli for breakfast
    * cheese and onion sandwich from Wilkos for lunch with a can of diet coke
    * Pizza for dinner with cheese, tomato and chilli topping
    * Cadbury's dairy milk ice cream

    I'm pretty sure a packet of Doritos snuck in there somewhere as well. Very low on my five a day today.

    I had forgotten. I had even posted on it. LIR and I were extolling the necessity of loo rolls, it was an unmissable opportunity to mention my pantry and PN in keeping had little. May be we should reprise it as I like LIR's recommendation of a crate of champagne.

    Beg your pardon. I hadn't realised you'd been over here back then.

    Not sure about some of them.
    carolt disappeared when most of the forum seemed to disagree with her about child benefit and just who should get it.
    Does anyone know what happened to dopester?
