Stuck in the middle of a fridge nightmare. It's my sons girlfriends 25th today. I assumed they'd be going out but anyway I offered to cook her a special meal as her family are all in Ipswich. Apparently they went out on Saturday instead -so yes please- do cook mum, and can you pick us up. I put together a menu and bought all the ingredients on Saturday. Today I discover that most of it has to go in the fridge if pre- cooked and my fridge can't cope!!

Do you have a cool box and some frozen peas instead? If you don't keep opening them they keep cold for a surprisingly long time.

It certainly was! Considering I used to work next door to where it is, and when I was there it was a wasteland, it's amazing what they've done.
Great fun and, as always, it was Tuffers that stole the show.
think I'll be taking advantage of them being only a tram ride away and applying for some more of their free tickets!

unfortunately not. We'd carefully arrived in plenty of time, having heard that the first 40 were sat behind the teams and, indeed, were numbers 38 and 39. Unfortunately as we were sitting waiting to go into the studio, a chap was wandering round selecting people out. I presume we weren't the right type of people to sit there... Was curious to see the only black person who was there had been picked!

But then, it did mean that Sigur could tell me the answers to all the questions!

Yes, well I guess that someone who is as tall as Sigur is would tend to stand out a bit, even sitting down!

It's no good, Eirian. You'll just have to saw his legs off at the knees...

Hey - you beat me to it :lol: . It was lovely to have a little mini-meet for 10 minutes in Exmouth :D . I was in the town centre helping to staff a stall promoting Fairtrade Fortnight (go to [url]http://www.fairtrade.org.uk)[/url] and was unexpectedly greeted by a familiar face :D
Now what on earth was a visitor from glorious Torbay doing over here across the Exe estuary in Exmouth??? Ah well, maybe it is something to do with the fact that we are linked by one of the most beautiful train lines in the country?
Strep - don't you dare say that you drove over...... though even so, it is still a pleasant trip....)

AS I don't drive I didn't, but I was driven! There with my bestfriend and her Mum for a day out and lunch for my birthday (early treat)

:D Looking forward to 2pm tomorrow and my steroid injection. From past experience all the joint pain disappears :D Also going to request laser treatment for my knuckle joints - it worked the last time and lasted 2 years. It is performed by the physio.

Who Knows it may even improve my typing :lol: :lol:
