I think the quorn fillets are half a point each LIH - or if you use a bag of quorn pieces, it's 4.5 points for the whole bag.

God I can't believe I can remember how many points everything is

I almost started to play the sax when I was playing the flute regularly but never got around to it, but apparently it's similar and easy to pick up. Also play the oboe and piano, but, in comparison to the rest of me i've got quite small hands and I could only just stretch an octave so stopped playing as I couldn't reach the chords.

I play the keyboard (and also the e-flat horn but VERY badly....oh, and the recorder hahaha), we could definitely form a band. I think Bunnyinthelights sings as well, and IA plays bass guitar. Can't think who else has said they play an instrument.

I imagine drumming is fab for toning your arms Toto? I need to tone mine, I used to do karate and squash which kept them in check, but I'm sure I'm getting bingo wings lol!

It is pretty good for toning, but a lot of the actual movement is in the fingers and wrists. I set my kit so I don't need to extend too much (less scope for injury) there is obviously some arm workout involved so I do have pretty good upper body tone (I do a lot of lifting gear too though). I tell you what, it is pretty good for tummy toning. When you sit on the stool it's important to have the weight centred as if there is a rod through the back, so no weight is on the legs, because both legs are in constant use. So, I guess all in all it's not a bad full body workout.

I've got small hands too, no good for piano. My only experience with wind instruments was when I was at school I was forced to play clarinet, I was flippin useless and hated it. My best friend who is now a great pianist, was made to play oboe, she hated that too. We were thrown out though when we did a concert, both of our reeds went at the same time, making a really loud screech, we were rolling around on stage thinking it was hilarious. We were chucked off and asked not to come back.

Most sax players I know play flute too so you'd probably find it pretty easy. You should have a go, then I can get you on some gigs.

Do I take it there's not much call for e-flat horn playing at these 'gigs'???

:rotfl: :rotfl:

Your oboe story made me laugh my head off btw!

We could keren, do you play sax too? flute is a pretty instrument. I think we do pretty much have a band. We have a vocalist, drums, bass, keys, flute, who plays guitar?

As for nandos, that's not a bad choice the chinese would have been a disaster. I love chinese but I have to stay away because I'm alergic to soya, and they hide it in all sorts, either that or they cook things in pans soya has been in. So, I usually go for indian, which is so much better for the diet :rotfl:

Have fun tonight though, they probably will want to talk about work but you can sit there feeling dead smug that youre out of it all now and have a much more peaceful day than they do.

So are we having an Adam and the Ants style drumming i.e. 2 drummers or am I gonna play the tambourine?:rotfl:
