    I won't be online as much as I would like, so I'm just popping through, but I brought a bottle - so have a drink on me!

    :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

    I am so impressed, and I will keep coming back to look at the recipes - next week I try lentil pate!

    You are an inspiration!!!! :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T
    Always another chapter

    Well....they are there and having a R..A..T..H..E..R nice meal. They were on the cocktails 10 minutes odd ago - a coffee-flavoured liqueur as I recall and a couple of starters....one with olives/cheese/scallops/etc - now if I wasnt a vegetarian I would be hammering on the door to be let in....sounds good to me.

    And - yep - folks - I can verify that weezl and Mr weezl (aka acetate monkey) both do exist in the "real world" - I've just been on the phone to both of them (a 3 way conversation going on there in the "real world"). Weezl comes over just like she does on the thread folks - and I think she's enjoying herself by the sound of it - well shes giggling a lot!;)

    Congratulations Weezl! Woo hoo this thread really is something to be celebrated....you've proved it can be done even amongst all this talk of the credit crunch and doom and gloom. Popping back to your thread regularly has really given me a boost and just proves what can be achieved when you're determined.
    types Aril having gatecrashed the party but have brought some yummy virtual snacks and a bottle of vino with me. Honest guv! Have a great evening!!

    Oh my word, there are pressies! And such lovely thoughtful ones!

    Ceridwen has phoned HOW EXCITING!!! and we had a little natter, and thank you again for the book. It was called 'food for free' and tells us how to avoid death at the hands of bad picking fiascos. It looks excellent and tells us how to cook things too! I shall be sharing more with you soon I know!

    A big kiss for you Ceridwen.:D :beer:

    Shaz mum of two has sent two beautiful home made soaps, chocolate, coffee (posh!), chutney and marmalade (both look gorgeous), rocket seeds and an intriguing stone, which ISOM says she'll reveal the story behind. later...

    Again I'm hugely touched. Another big kiss for you.:j

    Ceridwen and shaz, I had no idea that internet friendship could move me to tears! Until today!:o :D

    ISOM has surpassed herself! We're having champagne toasts now!!!!

    She too gave lovely things which I will chronicle in a bit...:D

    Hello bigMumma, I jumped obligingly when you said 'boo'!:eek:

    bobbykins, sir cliff eh?!:rotfl: :rotfl:

    I am so pleased you like them and tha they made it on time in one piece !!

    I hope ISOM doesnt mind me telling you about the stone

    I found it on Cromer beach (along with a few more)on my honeymoon last year i collected a few and "fondle "(for want of a better word )them regularly i find handling them very soothing and they are so smooth and tactile i decorated yours with the word "BELIEVE" so that when you have doubts you can remind youself to believe in what your doing just like we all do:D

    Pleased you are enjoying your night and promise if we ever visit Cardiff we will pop in and meet you in person and you to ISOM and i will bring cakes for acetate monkey

    It's an honour to know you
