    Knitwitch - You can't knock Igor for that, after all, I forgot to tell him we'd run out of butter, and he had to improvise.....mind you, I am starting to get worried. He wants to serve bacon and laver bread....and has just asked me where the nearest volcano is...

    But even so, I'm sure whale blubber is better without Igor trying to squeeze an angry whale into the pot...Free Willy it was not :eek:

  • #20 for me today.


    Isn't Igor overdue for a holiday?He works his fingers to the bone,poor chap,and for no pay as well....I wonder what Hubert (Igor's trusty sidekick for those not in the know)will rustle up for us instead...He's very keen,if a tad slow.We certainly don't want another accident like last year.Ratatouille will not be on the menu this year,thank you very much.

    Hmm you mean the fact that he didn't have any rats so used gerbils instead?

    Well if Hubert takes over the catering for St David's Day I recommend you avoid the leek soup, especially if he starts crossing his legs.....

    So, Igor, we have bacon and laver bread butties, leek soup, daffodil curry, buttered(not blubbered) bara brith, leek and chocolate surprise, plus lots of lovely strong tea....now when you make the daffodils curry, make sure the daffodils are cooked right through. Remember the last St David's Day when Hubert got food poisoning from eating too many raw daffodils bulbs? He was rushed to hospital but came out in the Spring......

    Spring? Is Zeberdee coming too? :rotfl:

    Right, on a (slightly) more serious note.....not a NSD today, 'twas payday. So, bought a couple of bits on fleabay I'd been waiting for pay day for (grip for pole and moisturiser ....not for pole :rotfl:) also a book of moves that myself and a friend are taking 50% custody of each :money: oh and splashed out £13 on wipers for the car (sorry, no pun intended :o). Noticed in the rain the flexi low profile ones I have smear badly right infront of my view....which isn't exactly safe as my view happens to be that of the driver :eek: did get 6% off via a cod and should get 12% cashback though way cheaper than Half0rds.

    Also picked up some bits in town. Hit the 99p store picking up some Philly Stir and Serve pouches (wouldn't pay £2 that they are in store normally but 99p is acceptable for a quick sauce). Going to freeze a couple, I know you're not supposed to freeze cream cheese but this has other ingredients in anyway and I'm sure once heated up it will be fine.

    Then hit Wilko for a mop head (c'mon, let's hear you all....ohhhhhhhhhh :rotfl:) and Tacto for mog food and a filling for my roll for lunch,

    I do need eggs, but queue in store was massive today, if that's all I get tomorrow I'm still counting a NSD, but I'm going to check the 99p store for another mushroom Philly as they only had one today,

    Dinner planned for tomorrow and thurs so looking good on that front.

    NSD 14/15 for me yesterday...made a yummy pasta/pesto sort of sauce with a left over red pepper, garlic and sundried tomatoes and a few walnuts and mushroooms chucked in...yummy...enough for dinner and lunch too!

    Aiming for NSD 15 today...risotto tonight...surprising what can be made with a few ingredients...:T

    I think i've gone off the rails a little this month with a few spends.. have enough washing conditioner for 6 months at least though...at least I will have soft clothes :)
