  • I think you've got it @WinterWarrior, you clever crossword person! Lama would be A for Ace and Mal backwards (raised); sick in France I assume is something like mal as in malaise

    Yes - as in mal de mer = sea sick.  I assumed lama but had no idea why.

    Sorry but mayo goes with everything! But I do get strange comments (or comments about me being strange) if someone makes me a bacon sandwich and I ask for mayo in it!  :D

    24 minute walk, dropped off recycling, found three McMo tokens

    Entered some competitions, very much looking forward to that 10k, and some English sparkling wine wouldn't go amiss

    Four vinted listings
    Half wussy situps

    Going to a friend's for dinner this evening, we're taking drinks and pud but still cheaper than pub!
    Another small walk to bus stop and we're saving money by getting bus instead of tube

    Have a good evening x

    Me too please 🥂
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪
  • I can't be doing with mayo on anything.  Or sauce in general.  

    10k would pay for a lot of sauces, so everything crossed for you.
