    It's a good job the cake-lady's fortune doesn't depend on the people on this thread!
    Shall I get the strawberries out?
    Well done silkglade. That is fabulous news.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D

    I have spent the day (on and off) tidying the house. I have a 17 yr old being placed with me via Social Services on Friday and have been tidying and cleaning like a maniac... my back has been killing me all week, think that maybe due to the painting frenzy... I am quite excited and a bit scared at the same time!

    More tea vicar!
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Those of you who were having afternoon tea with us during the half-term holiday will know that we went fishing for tadpoles. What fabulous entertainment they have turned out to be. We have spent hours watching them. It is amazing how they suddenly change. When we went to bed the other night 6 out of the 7 tadpoles had teeny back legs. Then the following morning one had front legs too. Since yesterday morning the one with 4 legs has lost its tail and looks like a mini toad.
    Did you know tadpoles are money saving? We haven't been out paying for entertainment since we got them. We can't wait to get home to see how they have grown!

    You are having a 17 year old by choice?!?!? :eek:

    LOL! Why does everyone always say that? She's a she!

    Glad the tadpoles are doing well - what are you keeping them in? We used to keep ours in an old goldfish bowl, with a couple of big stones piled up at one side so that when they do turn into frogs, they can get out and hop off to their new life!
