I'm well, have a job lined up over Christmas (and 3 booked for the same weekend :eek: need to choose on that one). On the baking front, planning something for my bake off application(1) and making some chocolate fudge cupcakes for an engagement do tomorrow evening. That's about it really, well that and trying to squeeze in as many nephew visits as I can in between(2). I'm not broody before anyone goes there! I'm intrigued, what did you salaciously put in your mouth?(3)

1. oooh, what you got planned? I (and the rest of the elite) so want to want to see you in GBBO:D
2. nowt better than being 'cool auntie' / 'cool uncle':cool: (I am doing quite well as the latter:))
3. (apologies in advance for unintended boasting:o) At a Michelin-Starred restaurant, a tasting menu, with each course better than the rest ... then for the showmanship grand finale (not on the menu), chef came to table with, white chocolate mousse, choice of infusions (mint, eucalyptus, cumin .. I went for cumin), and liquid nitrogen (a.k.a. dry ice), the mousse was injected with cumin essence, then flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen and straight in the mouth - it is without doubt the most amazing thing I've ever tasted. I can't foresee tasting ever tasting anything better.

Why would he not, he is building your forever home no doubt exactly as you want it and probably could not afford if you got builders in.
As for safety I can see where you are coming from :smileyhea get him well insured :money:

You're right, we could never afford a house like this, and OH would never trust a builder to build it to his specifications.

When he started it, a friend fell off scaffolding, was only discovered hours later by a postman, he nearly died. Whilst he has recovered, he has a terrible limp and it has a terrible impact on him psychologically.

No money or house is worth this. I keep going down and doing safety inspections…. he just swears at me!

PD on the GBBO, now I would watch that.

We are going for a tasting menu at Winterton Gardens…. I am feeling a little happier about it now. But I will also take sandwiches for the drive home!!

I don't mind traffic jams…. in the mornings I listen to Capital, in the afternoon I listen to Radio 4 and just think… thank god I am going to be able to justify why I am late for the meeting this time (instead of shrugging when I walk through the door!)

No I don't normally mind traffic jams, it's just being stationary on a motorway that seems to grate with me; I listen to Radio 3. And I wasn't late for anything ... I just wanted to get home [sob!]
