Ay up Pipster and the stripey gang :wave:
mum2one - thank you for your biccy recipeI realised that I have all the ingredients for them, as a lone bar of white choc, from MrL (bought for 17p on one of the 'half-price' weekends and stashed for 'cooking' - DP likes it) came to light when we were moving stuff from pillar to post to have work done on the house. So I'm going to have a bash at them
Pips - thanks for the linkie and for filling me tin
Caz - I luvs minions and I lurves that pic! :T Thank you for making me
Pips - was yer cauli a 'big 'un'? Mine was quite a tidy lump at 1.4kg from mrM in the endWell chuffed - especially as it was on a par (size wise) with the ones at our fruit and veg shop on the high street, but they still want £1 for them - a la mrS obviously!!! They also wanted £1.25 for their romanesco caulis. Whilst they were probably amongst the biggest I have seen (certainly bigger than M&$) that is quite a wodge of cash to hand over.........
Hope your eye infection clears up - I'm currently experiencing 'tingly' sinuses and my right eye is tearing up for no reason, and I look like someones poked me in the eye too! Here's hoping all the cauli-based vit c will see any nasty bugs orf! :rotfl:
Take care you!

Hey ups sorry to post and run but I'm up and out early today at the beck and call of the DD and the DS
Yes of course i love it.

All I can say is yay to blankets and cookies and cauli's (boo for being too expensive) and boo to pesky sinuses.
I'm glad my meal plan of summat is working. We did indeed eat summat with chicken last night.
Have a great day, more nonsense later.and thanks for posting you always make me smile you lot.
