    Aww shucks im-blushing-smiley-emoticon.gif I didn't know you were filming my little dance routine Freeby, or I would have put on the leotard I had for crimbo :rotfl:(Ohhhh how I wish *sigh*..I'm afraid my svelte-like silhouette had to be airbrushed to get this good dancing-hippo.gif )

    ....spent 30 minutes standing outside in my flats carpark with a reporter in a radio van! Oh yes???!!! Got a very weird look from one of the neighbours when he came to get his car for work! You're lucky you weren't arrested :D
    The reporter was lovely, and it was a really interesting experience!

    If you are at all interested, you can hear me in the link below. I start talking at 1 hour 11 minutes!

    D'ya know...you didn't sound like I have always imagined your voice to be, as I read your posts? I reckon that interview was someone else pretending to be you, cuz it just did not sound right deep-thinking-smiley-emoticon.gif *mutters to self; what IS it with me & conspiracy theories this week d'oh!*
    ....think of a good way to use up cold roast chicken for tea.
    Mmmmm...love cold meat! Strap in tight cuz I'm on a roll!
    i) cold meat, mash & favoured pickles.
    ii) break meat up into bite-size pieces, add tin of condensed soup & some veg, cover the dish & bung in the oven till meat is hot; serve with rice or pasta.
    iii) jar of cook-in sauce (we particularly like black bean), warm through SLOWLY in a saucepan, stirring often; throw in bite-size pieces of cooked meat & stir to coat--NOT heat the meat--& serve with rice or noodles.
    iv) salad, cold meat, any dressing of choice, in a wrap.
    v) cooked meat & any veg in a wrap; wraps into oven-proof dish; pour over chopped tinned toms; cover & 'bake' till meat is hot. If you fancy it, uncover dish 10mins before end & sprinkle over grated cheese & return to oven til cheese all gorgeous & yummy :D
    vi) add bacon/ham/leeks/brockie-ochie..wotteffa..to add a bit of a different flavour to ^^chicken, or stick it in a dish & cover with pastry for a quick pie filling.
    These will work with most meats & thankyou...now I'm starving! :rotfl:

    I got me no 8 Weds--almost went to the Temple of Effree Littel but decided to go to Nu Deels service yesterday instead :D
