Errrmmmm, hello all! I haven't been here in a while. I see by part 7 this place is thankfully still going strong - a thread of peace, friendship and support amongst the storm(?) of debate.

Hope you're all well!!?

You're such a little part-timer
Nice to see you didn't forget us though!
We're still here.... whittering on about nowt much.

I have loads of those.... I never make desserts though

Me neither, I know people who enjoy cooking more than me. I allow them the pleasure of cooking, and I do the eating. A perfect synergy...

"Darling, if you really want to go to the Christmas market in Strasbourg, you should have told me. There was no need to go looking up life as a singleton and covering my chicken in snot."

Good to hear you're well! How many phases are there(?) has the house its walls and ceilings or will it be an 'interesting' winter?

I like eating and looking at photos of nice food that, theoretically, I could make one day ....

I don't know anybody who can cook and never have done

For me, Xmas is about 24 cans of my favourite cola.

I do like a snowball, but used to get nagged by my parents to [a] buy myself some advocaat "you like that....", then nagged by them because I still hadn't got through the small bottle by autumn and they didn't like it cluttering up the "drinks cabinet".

I used to cave in and buy the bl00dy bottle just because it was easier to have it than to keep being told I like it ..... and then got a year's worth of nagging that I hadn't drunk it. Parents..... who'd have 'em!!

This winter should be good...we have insulation, an insulated 'wing' a kitchen that won't have wind whistling through it.

We might be putting a bathroom in in the new year too.

The next major phase is a big one, and tbh, not sure when we will afford it..... The 'restoration' of the missing 'wing':D:rotfl:.

Then there is the loft extention phase ( last of all) and then the 'sort out issues with central zone of house phase ' which we might do in drIns and drabs.

Why would you drink anything that wasn't your favourite cola?

Not related but do we know if everyone's kids are ok now?

No, I don't know yet. I hope so though.
