    8 of the little varmints have now been rounded up by my good self, but I've got a sneaky suspicion my purse will not stay closed for long today.

    I'm not going any place mega, with reems of temptation (sozz for da lingo; I was watching the last two episodes of Arg Wotisface dan on the faarrm last night :o:cool: ..iz ban'a kinda gets inya 'ed dunnit ) but I thought I'd ask if there's anything we need for tomorrow, whilst I'm parting with pennies any ways...whoopie cushions - the only kind of whoopie some of us are likely to get, or want in my case :p: - sticky back plastic; $lipknot cd; sick bags...

    Ooh ooh ooh ! I am so excited! NSD number 3 has sneakily sneaked!

    Igor, I hope you have decorated the cafe to my exact specifications....St Valentine's Day is a very important occasion, and we have lots of bookings for tomorrow's lunch party.

    Let me see what you have done so far.....

    Igor you idiot! I know I said I wanted the cafe decorated with loads of red hearts everywhere.......but I didn't mean hearts as in sheeps', pigs', and chickens' hearts!

    Mrs Doyle! Your mop and bucket are required urgently! How are we going to get this placed cleaned up in time for tomorrow?

    Good morning NSD gang, are we ready for our lovely St Valentine's Day lunch at the caff?

    Glad to see all the mess from last night has been cleaned up, Igor, and that the place is now redecorated with hearts of the red, cardboard variety....into the kitchen now.....what's for lunch, Chef?

    Menu for St Valentine's Day buffet lunch

    Swedish spicy meatballs
    Pistachio-stuffed chicken hearts in puff pastry with marmalade jus
    Sliced, stir-fried sheep's hearts with sesame and lavender dressing
    Salad of radicchio, walnuts, pear, goat's cheese, fennel with rhubarb and anchovy dressing
    Braised pig's hearts stuffed with spiced apricot and pilchard couscous
    Extra spicy Brussels Sprouts vindaloo with chocolate-drizzled basmati rice

    Don't think I can face looking at the puddings menu.....
