    Never bothered with stuffing a chicken. :o

    But try a layer of sliced onions (fillers)
    layer of apples sliced
    chicken or belly strips
    and coat with stuffing.
    cover with tin foil.

    Bloody lush. :D

    Mmmm sounds worth a try.

    OK, TM:T You choose...
    Cow Under the Bridge one person lies across the gap between two armchairs pulled slightly apart, face down and eyes such - they're the 'bridge'; the other person is the 'cow', and they have to try and crawl under the 'bridge' without it dropping on them.
    Baby Jesus
    not a game as such, and definitely one for the tinies; you need a floor-length curtain, one person grabs the end and pulls it to make a hammock, the other person climbs in and is swayed back and forth while the first person sings softly "Aaaawww, Baby Jeeesus" to a made-up tune
    Johnny Jelly
    do you know, I can't remember what we did for this one:o And neither can my sister - I've just rung and asked her. (That's an odd conversational opening - "Hi, how are you? By the way, do you remember Johnny Jelly") Just make up your own game for this one:D

    No
    No
    And no:rotfl:

    Another thought......did you used to get the "bumps" when it was your birthday at school?:eek:

    I was going to include 'organisation-!!!!!!-loving' in the description but it was before the watershed ... but it isn't now:)

    You should have seen the work I left with the office. Three separate spreadsheets of prepped work/status updates for the person who has been left to oversee the edit and a cross-referenced word doc covering the five episodes I was across.

    So. Damn. Satisfying :cool:
