    Quick update as I have been busy not getting as many NSDs as I should!! Up to 4/20NSDs, bit frustrated with the way I ended up spending on 3 days all of which with forethought could have been on one! Pah!

    Deafleopard - there is no place like home. And, even better, you have NSD number 2 - go you!
    Gemgem - lie still, and Olga will do a deep tissue massage with the finest Transylvanian bat fat.
    Jodies - keep them NSDs coming! We want a nice full Cauldron when marmite gets back!

    NSD no 7

    Have just tried a Jamie Oliver's prawn and pasta dinner - from his Italian book- yum, yum! As good as any meal out.
    Just the thing to eat after a good massage!

    Yes, Igor, prawns and pasta. A slightly strange alternative to your pasta with marmalade speciality. Anyway, are all the NSD gang in the castle bar? I hear Chef has been practising making cocktails, Igor's uncle's faithful old family servant has shown him a few recipes. So, decisions, decisions...the Rusty Coffin Nail, Bat' s Blood Special, Howling Wolf's Milk.....think I'll stick to one of Mrs Doyle's cups of tea, if you don't mind....
