What happens now is we chill :D Or in my case..........drink :giggle:

Recipies that say 'serves 4' do make me laugh because they only serve 2 in my world :rolleyes: lol Still, 4 syns is ok :D Not making it today because it's my weekly green day............:drool:

She told me she's been swinging from the chandelier and jumping off the top of the wardrobe again Rozie, only she called it 'bedroom athletics' :rolleyes: :giggle:

Yeah, yeah............chandelier and wardrobe :giggle:

It's good to have a little competitive streak........as long as you're a graceful loser too :giggle:

Oh another tea snob! :giggle:

Try Whittards darlink.......a much posher brew I think you'll find :8855:

Muahahahaaa! Corky was the one who told me what a great idea 'bedroom athletics' was and how to go about it - I personally was going to save her the embarrassment of admitting it but the cats out of the bag now ;-)

Totally - serves 4 in my house means me and the other half can split it 50 50 lol

Oh I'd highly recommend the come dine with me thing we pulled names out a hat for partners so we didn't end up working in obvious partners (me and other half etc) its worked out really well and the Moroccan night lee did with his cousin Tracey last month was FAB! Oh the pics are on Facebook. I'll have to add some on here

I'm so excited for my night

Graceful loser indeed - ill just keep challenging him until I win LOL

Will take pics of food this week so you can all shout at me when I don't have enough super free please!

Corky I bet you lift yer bloomin pinky finger when you drink it too huh?! Lol

A bit of competitiveness never hurt anybody unless u get rid of your opponent in a very different way ;)

Enjoy your day and I know u can be strong on the lunch front :) x
