Find Ancestors

Oooh, I used to have one of those when I worked the holiday centres, it was fab to do a bit of home cooking in my cramped little chalet

Too late Dea while you were all chatting I found it and bought something :-D

As you know I dont cook now, but it is mainly because everything is dangerous, so I bought a prestige multi cooker which is a large electric frying pan come cassarole dish.
I had one about 30 years ago which was passed down from my mum, so hoping I maybe able to use this.

Air-fryers are supposed to be brill for chips - I think that this is the first thing everyone tries with them!! No good for a family though - the portions they cook are big enough - but fine for 2 people!!

Will try and catch up with you all tomorrow at lunchtime - you all sound OK and busy busy busy shopping etc!!??

I'll second that Dea........ja...x Lakeland are absolutely brilliant. I have used them for years - the service is personal and they cant do enough for you.


I have been to their flagship store in the Lake District........could have spent a fortune! Have a look at their site - they sell the most amazing gadgets - you may find some of their stuff helpful actually.



Right - back to STrictly!

JBs mom uses Lakeland, she got some lovely fake Christmas flowers that you plug in and they twinkle....very nice

Cant wait to hear about the air fryer and if they cook chips well! I dont eat chips very often as they repeat and I cant stand that :-(

www.lakeland.co.uk for reference !!!

Thanks Dea I will look into them

ja...x

If you want anything which they sell - I can personally recommend them.

I have used them for many years and I think they are the most reputable, reliable and efficient Company I have ever encountereed !!

If they are any good Gins, HID is getting one for his birthday next month :-D

ja...x

I ordered from Amazon and they offered gift wrap for £3 ish

I did think about it, but as one of the boxes was damaged I want to see whether the contents were ok...maybe if I had asked for gift wrapping I would have got a better box :-D

I have ordered quite a bit from them in the past, without any problem and worry about using someone I dont know after my debit card was fraudently used after last christmas.

I think it was my sisters present last year that did it :-(

This year she wanted me to use ebay, but its all this paypal stuff and I don't understand that

ja...x

For the future Ja....x

Yu can buy these things from Lakeland and they offer a 'gift wrap' service !!!

I cannot recommend this Company highly enough !!

I ordered some goods this morning and received an e-mail around 2pm to say they had been dispatched.!

I also had an e-mail whilst I was placing my order to offer me a very useful free gift worth £12 but didn't read it until I had placed my order.

I 'phoned then and they instantly said they would send it through to me !

I once ordered two deep fry pans and when they arrived - one had a tiny chip off the non stick covering on the rim so I phoned them and they instantly sent me out another two new ones - when I asked about sending back the originals they said "perhaps you might like to take them along to a local 'Charity shop' and pass them on to them ?

GREAT service!!!

Sorry yes 'neck'....thinking of know for some reason or other

It took three hours caus I had some low lights put in.....three different browns, Im more like my true colour now, only a bit darker blonde than I was as a kid

Ive been wondering what those air fryers are like....let us know Ja..x when theyve used it

I'll get some photos of the tree and hair and post on FB later this week....

............going SHOPPING tomorrow :-P

No Cyn not Chairs :-D

Phillips air fryer that weighs a ton, box about the size of a microwave and something that I saw advertised on late night tv that chops blends and does everything in 3 seconds...which is another biggish box and a pair of riding boots for the sister

ja...x

Picture please Ginns (of the new hair !!!) -Then of the colour coded Xmas tree !!!

Dea Xxx

We're in shock at your new hair do Gins! 3 hours? For a cut? You would have thought the hairdresser would have evened it off though!

Kneck??? Kneck???



Won't those presents fit in the large size bags ja...x? What on earth have you bought them....... chairs?? :-)



Have been shopping this afternoon - v.busy it was too.



Now waiting for the final of Strictly....... :-D :-) :-D :-)

Three hours in the hairdressers.............a mision. Ive had a bit of a change, bob, tapered in to the kneck, cut to jaw line on one side and longer on the other side, quite pleased with it

Got home to find JB starting the tree building....OMG its a 7'6 tree and looks fab when its up but you have to insert each branch one by one...thank gowed its colour coded as to what goes where

So where is everyone tonight?

Out of the Four gifts I bought only one is small enough to go in a bag, and that is HID's...I can't really ask him to wrap his own can I :-D

ja...x

Im going to have my hair chopped today too :-)

Must have a nibble or two from Sylvs brunch table first though......nom nom nom

Good morning anyone who is around. Just going to wander around that scrumptious breakfast table. Thank you Sylvs.



Had a good night's sleep for a change so I am rarin' to go - don't know where, but I'm rarin' :-D :-D


Having hair chopped this morning so will look better than a bramble bush.



Um.....who does the tumbling Perse? August or a wooden fireman??



Jax, hope HID helps you with your wrapping - or - you could do what Sylvs does and put them into gift bags with tissue paper on top! :-)
