    oh Dave...I've just remembered it's you thats off to Borough Market...thats perhaps my all time ever favourite place...and whilst the stall is no longer there...it used to be the place to get the best chocolate brownie in the world.

    If you are passing through perhaps you could get me a few bits..

    Theres a lovely stall that does seasoning for food ...a pot of the jamacian jerk if you could...
    Then theres another that does fabulous cheesecakes ...so a few slices of those..i'll leave the choice up to you.
    umm...another does rather tasty smoothies and pressed fruit juices....I normally have one whilst I'm wandering to the cider stall....where I usually pick up a few bottles and then

    Off to the paella or possibly the wild boar stand for something to eat..

    I really miss the place....

    I decided to make mini Victoria sponges in the end. They're in the oven as I type!

    Maybe some people who are not currently posting are taking time out and will return when they are ready?

    Yes, you have to login to QC and visit the CS page there - it shows how many claims remaining.

    Hi mhoc, yes it was a direct train to Porthmadog, apparently there was a stop somewhere, where the train split and it went off somewhere else, I just made sure that they asked if they were on the right part of the train, had visions last night of him ringing saying they had ended up somewhere completely different.

    He is quite useful at sticking the oven on to put a pizza in or making beans on toast :rotfl::rotfl: I did fill the freezer up with pizzas, and the cupboard with pasta, and beans and bread. Im sure they will be fine food wise, there are supermarkets not far about 20 mins walk away.

    Its just the fact of leaving 6 young boys on their own in the house, I just hope they respect the place and leave it tidy and dont damage anything. I did speak to all parents and warn them though if any damage the boys would be paying for it :rotfl::rotfl:



    I thought you were going to, you mean you didnt :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    it will all be fine, all 16 year old lads need is electricity to charge their various phones and laptops and tablets and ideally wi fi and toilet paper :D

    I assume you have imposed a total alchol ban and hidden your stash :D

    Smart water reset on cos and cs today only, 5 claims on each site.

    Thank you. In theory, as the dates are now 12-13 July rather than extending the original offer that started in February, anyone who had claimed previously can now claim again :).

    Of course, I have "a few" already (and hadn't claimed my full allocation on our accounts), so am not sure I have the storage space for even more :eek:.

    Just nipped in before the school run, been keeping an eye on primeday but not much catching my eye.

    Thanks TM for the brave the shave donation...no strimmers allowed within sight of Mr Strewth!

    We're having our garden paved in a couple of weeks £800 and it's only 6m x 2m :eek: Need it done so little man can play out during the school hols. I've just ordered a bistro set from warehouse deals on amazon and am looking for a swing seat - ds2 loves chilling on his nans so want to get one for him. If anyone sees a bargain can you please give me a nudge :A
