    Sorry just been reading the 'old' thread and

    Pigpen - just picked at the gammon and had it with some cheese, mmmmm. Will have it tomorrow with new pots or chips, peas and egg!

    Dusty - chatching up on Spooks, series 5 at the minute but am desperate to know what Adam did to Jo in the end of this current series, can't wait for it to re-start lol. And yes, it scares the life out of me. One of the ones we just watched was about fuel running out and hospitals shutting and no food and ooohhh, just too real really. And great idea about the bike, thanks

    welcome chops :D another bump, we're having another baby boom aren't we!

    Right, lost my head completely just after DP got in when DS1 was being a nightmare, so he's off to get a chinese to calm me down (I like chinese and not cooking) sausages will be either breakfast/lunch tomorrow or tea tomorrow night. They aren't defrosted anyway :o I ended up doing the kids chicken instead.

    Kimberley it doesn't get deleted, but prefer people to start posting here and not post in there from Monday then it'll just drift away naturally :D You can always find them again by searching for them.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
