Planning the big event continues although pretty much sussed now!! Newlywed did you make the cibatta? Were they yummy? Also 25p cheaper than Sais yesterday where I paid 35 p each for two with olives! Wont be on long as have migraine so early night in order after a stressful day & rushing around a bit yesterday...

Now don't you go spoiling your guests and suffering yourself! We'd be very happy with beans on toast!!!

Poor ISOM, hope your migraine eases off soon.

The sour apple bhajee is loveleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

And doesn't food taste so much better when you [STRIKE]scrounged it off the pavement[/STRIKE] got it for free!:money:

The finishing line is in sight folks! And we're not even limping!:T

Shaz, I'm on the case with the geeky maths, but I'll probably post it tomorrow morning, as supersizers go regency is beckoning me...;)

Love to you all...:A

Well ya aint having beans on toast so there! Migraine dowt to do with you - more stressful day yesterday followed by a dose of TLC which I love to administer but also sometimes find exhausting which I'm surre you understand! Plus have had migraine since I was 16 & can get them at the drop of a hat so dont worry bout it! Beans on toast...outrageous...as if...(goes away muttering doesent she know me better by now lol!)
Ps newlywed meant to say I HAD a bread machine but flogged it as much prefer the texture & process of making my own bread so no worries there! Once you get into it you'll love it! Plus for the days that you cant be bothered theres the quick recipe (posted earlier) that take 5 mins to literally chuck togeather & no kneading required & its not too hard!
PPs Weezl I ant never goig food skip diving! Just saying that now just in case you get the urge while in my presence!! EVER!! Skip diving for wood is another matter of course!

'Morning our weezl (and all who follow).

Cor...you've got your "thinking head" on already at this time of a morning....takes some of us (okay me!) 2 cups of industrial strength coffee before we do! (Errr....says she - who didnt even have her "thinking head" on yesterday evening......).

Well...you're nearly there at the finishing post now Weezl...so I reckon you can give yourself a pat on the back on the back and take a bow...that reminds me..:T (thinks...gotta do the round of applause bit )

love
