That Slater's being annoying on my telly again. His version of leftovers for starters......
He said he had a few leftover cherries ... yet the amount he's got is double the amount I'd start off buying.
Then he's used 2 pints of milk and a vanilla pod.
"One of the things I love to do after dinner is bring out some cherries"
Yeah, right.
I normally open a can of Pepsi.0 -
Now 2 pints of cream are going in .... he must be feeding an army.
He's mixing a rice pudding with whipped cream, cherries, chocolate - and he's going to freeze that lot as a faux ice cream. Freeze if 4-5 hours so it's crispy frozen on the outside, but moist inside.
Surely he can't eat all that.... it's enough to feed 12. . .

This is gorgeous though

And this, but nowhere for it, and the price! http://www.rockettstgeorge.co.uk/fabry-perot-wallpaper-by-elli-popp-18615-p.asp.
I 've bookmarked that for Margate ...one day...
Ditto...what happened to the current one...or can't you say?Ah well. They don't know what they'll be missing out on. Its a good warm up for the job you really want next week.
How's the thesis going Niks?
Found out a friend who iced hers 20 odd years ago got paid 40k sponsorship to finish it a few years back. She still hasn't done it and now is being sued for the return of the £ or to hand over what is done (to be used for an exhib catalogue ).0 -

Its going slowly, but its going. This isn't going to be the most fun-filled week I've ever had!
Two more things on my list for the main introduction and then that's done. Hoping to get it polished off then I might treat myself to a bit of Newsnight and then some sleep.
I don't think anyone would pay me 40p to finish mine, nor would I want them too. I'm not even sure that my supervisor will let me submit, but I don't really care any more. It's just about having 'a thesis' now.0 -

Can't say now but all will be obvious soon.
catch up next week maybe? thursday after interview? i can pop out to you.
Everyone who crossed everything for me today can uncross now and get ready for the next one!!
That would be good......where is it as I could meet you halfway somewhere afterwards?
We are in Covent Garden for Photoshop course Tues + Weds.
I booked it as we were quiet (August usually is) and now some big appointments have come out the blue and I am on a mission to max out one in September.
It's stuff for a specific promo and could be the Margate Roof + window ££.
Chatted to the buyer today on what she was after so I will make as much as possible to fit her brief......and hope she orders tons of product
Hit a snag with sons purchase....we found flat but then 3 bidders but he got it. Then mortgage deposit has to be 15% as he doesn't have a perm contract (despite having contracts taking him up to 2017 with a salary increase each year)............and Bank of M+D is to the limit with a 10%-er. He is going to try the Bank of Grandad but we may have to find another 9k ouch. That's a lot of extra pointless consumer goods I'll have make + sell.

At the bottom of the panel there is a funny woman in the pattern ( there is a man in the old lie...Wilfred own style obviously...morose..but still beaiputilful.).That would be good......where is it as I could meet you halfway somewhere afterwards?
