    Evening tweets, wondered if you had eaten the steak for your tea, think I would have....

    Good Evening curl girl :)

    No i haven't but i was naughty had mushrooms , carrots , sprouts , potatoes in a microbag with garlic butter and 6 Matthews mini kievs .

    Would have had the above apart from kievs with steak but for mum wanting it . I still have sticky note on front door reminding me to take it tomorrow.

    I must have put weight on this week because i have also eaten my hotel choc chocs over last 3 days plus cream cakes :D

    I never saw any biccies in sainsbobs, but then i wouldnt have bought any as we dont eat many

    My Oh is a huge biscuit eater, I try not to encourage him but its a lost cause.
    But if I manage to get some for Shopotize I will add them to the food bank collection - I think the food banks are going to be under even more pressure than ever over the next few weeks

    I don't do shopitize, may take a look, have enough problems with tcb and click snap, not sure I can cope with 3 versions, which do you all think is the best?

    26 11 2016!!


    and I only bought 1, they were parked by the door, so people were only noticing them on the way out.

    With that expiry date I have to get my head together and go back to sainsbobs tommorow and get a good few

    Also I am thinking that if you set aside the less fancy of the biscuit selection you could crush them for cheesecake bases
    Or lightly crush the chocolatey ones and mix in with vanila ice cream for a sundae type dessert

    I'm reading about lack of music knowledge on Martin's twitter just to the right. I'm actually quite good on music knowledge sometimes - a fact that my psychologist (yes, really) remarked on when I saw him six years ago. I suppose I pride myself on being completely lacking in any knowledge at all as to what has been popular in the last 15 years. There was a pop quiz on television very early in the 2000s and I played along at home - and scored better than any of the teams on the television, thanks to getting all the 90s and 80s and earlier pop hits correct that they didn't get at all but nothing absolutely nothing about pop music from 1999 onwards, instead only an artist with a similar song title and exactly who they were whose song didn't do very well. Thanks (or rather not), in my contention, to radio sidelining of the song that I like - that now old chestnut again:doh::rotfl:. I knew all the different versions of all the different stuff though (and still do), usually every one except the one that was popular. I suppose - or rather, I know - I specialise in my own favourite areas - don't really know much of pure country or jazz songs even though I like that area of music, indeed almost all areas except what's been popular since the end of the century. Can't stand any of that - really weird songs, whatever it is that classes as pop music made after a certain date for me. Anyway...:rotfl:. Weird and not wonderful - irritating, ditchwater boring and worse!:rotfl::rotfl: How something can be boring and yet irritating as well - you'd think if it were irritating it cannot be lacking in boredom but, somehow, they manage it for me:(. I think it is the real boring dirge nature of it that makes it irritate and grate - probably like me going on into boredom for readers now:rotfl: - just glad I'm out of it and don't even try to listen to the radio now (besides it being completely impossible to get through any of the songs, obviously it's not for other people but I don't understand how anyone can like it etc... I like all my old early 1990s stuff, but not the few remnants of that that are still left on rotation on a lot of popular radio all the time today. Oh, what, I am obviously old several years ago!). I'm just a moaning, boring old-fashioned complainer folks!

    So, anyway, I prefer my epic 20 minute dance tracks as opposed to the hours-long supposedly 3 minute radio edits that are on the radio:rotfl:. Of course, radio edit that isn't played on the radio much is completely fine and even better than the extended original. The way they cut it down and move from one section to the next is done in a better way. Whereas, if it's rubbish and messed up, it's on the radio all the time!:(

    So, I'm glad I know about 'everything else' and that I'm utterly clueless on popular music:rotfl::j. Actually it depends what you mean by popular music. That NHS choir that's number 1 is actually a good track to me (that's the only one that is) but, obviously, that's not the regular popular music sound but an aberration - and I only like the aberrations - bet it's not on the radio all the time - and, anyway, it's impossible to find in a sea of utter rubbish (IMO) so may as well just buy(:eek:) or find that track on the internet and forget everything else. It's just too hard to find things on the radio - I think the term the radio industry is that the music is nowadays more "accessible" - in other words the complete opposite, unless you just tune into the chart each week but why bother with that? (I've have to wait around and identify the precise 3 minutes and then switch off again.) I've no idea what else is in the music charts at all - I did, at one point, know what was number 30 for one week, then didn't know that four years later but only what was number 60, then number 120, then number 240, then, I don't know anything at all - I'm totally pushed well down underground:eek::).

    Hope you ok choirchick ........ Ancient bridge gone in Tadcaster :(

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35195153

    Yes ok so far Morgs. Lots evacuated nearer town due to the smell of gas from the bridge. The charity shop I help out in flooded as is the whole centre including Sainsburys. Fingers crossed any potential danger won't spread as far as me. Really don't fancy having to move out. Feel so sorry for those affected :( not just here in Tad but around the country.

    How you doing anyway. Hope you had a lovely Christmas. You're not far how's things in your village? x
