    I'm just starting on my signature dish. Fish finger sandwich with a dash of vinegar and a bag of crisps on the side ;)

    I always use salad cream.... :)

    I'll have that for lunch now you've mentioned it

    I met Mrs Generali at kicking out time outside the pub. Very unromantic.

    And your spelling in English is better than a lot of English people's English spelling, let alone how any of us would manage in French or Flemish or whatever your mother tongue is. :T
    Awww. Thanks Lydia.
    It's Flemish.

    I got too excited at the thought of a fish finger sandwich .... so, already gone off, made it, eaten it and done the washing up. So we'll have to call that breakfast.

    I met OH at university. Didn't talk to him properly for about a year as he arrived with a whole gang of people he knew from home and they all spoke in a strong Manchester accent. We took the same subsiduary subject in our first year- computer science (before the internet was invented/ accessible).

    We thought it so cool that we could message each other across the uni intranet, this being before text messages and emails.

    The first time we went out was 5 November 1983.

    OH and I met when we were both graduate trainees at the same blue chip co. I was their first female trainee he was a year ahead of me and thought of as a rising star.I was described by the graduate training lead as pneumatic. Our first date was playing frisbee on Southampton Common. It was April 1981.

    Day two. No codeine. I am getting the first craving though.

    Thankfully there's none in the house so I just need to wait and the craving will go.

    Have you looked into getting some other kind of pain relief yet?

    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)
