General Chat

Has Aunty forgotten that I'm a Down Underer too - she may have to fight me for the throne ;-)

I think you mean Vichyssoise (sp?), Aunty S.

How about Gazpacho Soup? That's a cold Spanish one. From memory, it has lots of tomatoes and vinegar, so if he has an open wound, it might be a bit painful. He’s hade his eyes and teeth looked at; when’s the ears and feet due for a service?

What’s with all the baking? Is it for a special event?

OH was up and out before 0815 this morning, due back in about an hour. He’ll probably be all Holier than thou since I doubt I’ll be dressed – lol

Now, now, SueMaid. We only allow play fighting on this thread.

morning all I have been busy all three floors scrubbed ,bedding off new on ironing done ,not dressed yet though or hoovered which i will have to do as there is a trail of feathers everywhere lol and the living rom has been the dumping ground so that needs clearing and i am making a leek and potatoe bake which can be made without dairy just use stock and more onions to flavour it instead of cheese and milk

All this cooking, special occasion. Yes, I am treating the tribe at work, work, to morning tea. It is a self imposed penance for not being involved in all the Christmas frivolities because of my workload prior to Christmas.

I know, I am quite barmey. But I do feel, well how do I feel, right now I am kna**ered, however I will feel happier, tomorrow.

I should not be sitting here chatting. I have washing to fold, and I can't seem to find the kitchen sink. It used to be above the cupboard, but all I can see is dishes. May I have a few cyber pets for an hour please. I suggested to OH I should have an assistant. He said, in your dreams, and went to bed. Still a couple more things to do but they can wait until the morning. If I manage to wake up early enough.

By the way I have ruined my healthy eating. Do you know how hard it is to bake cakes and ice them without licking the beaters, or cleaning the last of the mixture out of the basin. Then there was this fruit cake someone thought I might like to use for the occasion. One of the ones with all the fruit and nuts on top. Which kept falling off, which I had to eat because it was too nice to waste. It is a wonder I am not floating about two feet off the ground with all the sugar I have consumed. Must be the weight keeping me earthbound.

That's enough. Off to tidy my abode and then catch a few hours sleep so I can be up early in the morning.

Have a nice sleep aunty i am now dressed and almost finished my chores ,the best bit of baking is the bowls afterwards imagine the size of a bowl from 200 plus portions lol

Poor little thread was lying at the bottom of the second page......... gasping for the kiss of life.

Maz, your new avatar looks like a baby frog............ is there something you haven't told us?

I've stopped making cakes because I eat them all. My waistline can do without the extra inches.

I walked 6 miles today.......... trying to get rid of the extra weight I put on at Christmas.

lol pauline i thought it was fun lol , I am full of cold here with a raging headache .
but i have done all the chores so am chuffed

I think you've got the wrong idea there, Pauline!! But, Maz could be dropping hints that Frog likes to play in the bath :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Running off to hide for a while >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> !!

lol lol i dont have a bath lol
i will find you YG lol

May be subconsciously you were thinking of Summer when you chose the Avatar? :-D

And if Aunty is cooking for co-workers, I'll stop nagging about going to work work when she isn't expected to. ;-) When you do your laundry room reno, see if you can squeeze in a dishwasher!!

Sorry to hear you've joined the infectious ones Maz - so does that mean you have pulled a sick day? Hope you still get paid

I have had a long weekend I start 4pm tomorrow so it will be a nice break ,My cold isnt bad enough to pull a sicky .I was looking for a fun Avatar lol when i chose it

Showers can be fun too ;-) ;-) ;-) :-D

Lol, LG!! :-D :-D :-D

I'm not wicked, Maz, just naughty but nice!! ;-) ;-)

Good Hevening Hall.

Just sitting here wondering where the moon has gone.

Is it hiding on purpose, or is it missing?

Plus, if there are people on the moon, are they sitting in the dark?

Or, are they sitting with the curtains closed?

Or, are they hiding behind the sun on the other side of the world?

Perhaps Aunty will tell us when she graces us with her presence.

Watching Corrie........................I predict a riot.
lol

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hi all


why a riot on Corrie??

are they finally getting rid of Bill Roache? lol!


I watched a lot of Corrie before we left the UK in 1967, but not since ...... first, it wasn't carried on tv over here, then by the time it was, I'd lost interest.


Roache was a big boy in the school that OH went to at age 13 ....... WR was filling in 6 months before doing his National Service



It was rather weird when I went back to the UK when my brother died in 1990. I went with my sis-i-law to register his death in a building in Manchester. I drifted to the window while she was dealing with the office staff ................... and was really puzzled at how familiar the scene down below was


Until I realised I was looking down from the 3rd or 4th floor right into Coronation Street!

True ................ the window looked right into the set!

No idea Sylvia - I don't watch any of the major UK Soaps either. This may explain Maddie's suspicions, although it may not make any sense...

*Popular Coronation Street actress Katherine Kelly, who plays fiesty Becky McDonald, bids farewell to the cobbles as she leaves the show in tonight's dramatic double bill.

Her ex-husband Steve (Simon Gregson) is about to marry former lover Tracy Barlow, but Becky turns up at their wedding and is determined to clear her name (Tracy blamed her recent miscarriage on Becky, but it's all lies). *

**Episode 7785
It is Steve and Tracy's big day but all eyes are on Becky. The pressure mounts for Frank and Carla. Sylvia will not let Roy stand in the way of romance**

Evening all. YG. Oooooooooooo you are awful,but I like you ;-)

Ah but it is such a sweet avatar and I thought Maz was trying to tell us something!! She's after me, so I need to hide!! :-D :-D
