    I have guests :D
    My best friend from childhood and her partner are spending the weekend. They've now gone to bed.....lightweights :eek: :D although to be fair she is heavily pregnant (and over 40!! :eek:)

    So I spent all day fussing and worrying over EVERYTHING, her partner is very well to do and has never been here before, although Ive met him a few times. As it turns out, it was all very relaxed and we had a fab time :)

    I do have proof that my OH doesn't listen to me though :cool: I have told him all about my friends partner, plenty of times. So over dinner my friend mentioned her partners family and their 'estate'........so he says 'oh Ive been thinking of trading my car in for something bigger, probably an estate'.......*TUT* *SIGH* *:mad:* ..........The family has a small estate in Scotland, the sort with houses and land.....not wheels :o :rotfl::rotfl:
    ......me, no I wasn't embarassed at all :(:o :rotfl:

    Do they ever? :)

    That is so funny FC :T in a :o kind of way :)

    I see we are still missing from our boys list Mildred, so I'm thinking must be wives and not mistresses. ;)

    My favourite line is 'does this cloth smell like chloroform?' or if they really like Harry Potter 'hey baby I maybe a Gryffindor but there's something in my pants a Slytherin'

    It's hard to know the correct response to a 'suitor' possessed with such rapier wit

    a) withering glance
    b) pitying look then get phone out of handbag
    c) punch in the face and have done with it

    Think I'm allergic to Prosecco:o

    Are you sure it's not a touch of hayfever? Mine is terrible at the moment and I'm finding it really bad when I've been sat out in the evenings. OH has been a bit sneezy too and he doesn't usually suffer with it. Oh and he doesn't drink prosecco

    I don't usually suffer with hayfever, but I've been really snuffly these last few days. No prosecco here either ;)

    Indeed you may :)

    Mains
    Chicken piri piri
    Chicken and ham pies
    Beef Goulash
    Pork & chorizo meatballs
    Chicken puff pastry lattice pie thing
    Lasagne

    Sides
    Salt and pepper wedges
    Garlic mash
    Petit pois
    Roasted vegetables
    Rice and vegetables

    Desserts
    Chocolate cheesecakes
    Italian choc dessert thing
    Profiteroles

    Wines
    Red white and rose all worked

    Buy in 3s and the extra 10% discount for the wine still comes off

    As far as I know the only things that stop it from working are the blueberry tarts and the chocolate mint dessert, so avoid these

    Good luck :T

    Thanks for my idiots guide... do they only work in the express stores?
