  • I nearly had to do the Heimlich manoeuvre on Miss LRH - the greedy little madam ate a whole grape in a oner and started choking :eek:

    Luckily it didn't come to that - phew!

  • Eggs IN 0
    Eggs OUT 2 (we're bubble & squeaking yesterday's leftover potato + cabbage and topping it with a fried egg!)

    Tonight I will be:

    - assembling Christmas hamper No. 2
    - writing Christmas card envelopes

    A couple of weeks ago my dad and his ladyfriend popped in with her 6 year old granddaughter. The granddaughter went home and told her parents that there was a strange man in our downstairs loo :eek::eek::eek: Upon further questioning, it turns out that she was referring to the poster of Aladdin Sane :rotfl:
