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, thanksLightbulb moment 15th Feb 2007:doh: Now Debt Free and plan on it staying that way!
