clootie Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Feel free to correct anything or add anything Cloots. I'm going to stop because I am dribbling just reading this! Only one small thing to add ........... !! Always hated dumpling, could never eat anything with currants or spices in as a child. I remember my grannie making this stuff - huge it was and the aroma in the house. Yuk. It is very popular though !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 I'm not a fan of suet puddings myself, I prefer a sticky toffee or a syrup sponge Have decided to watch the footie on the telly as my head is still bad, not as bad as it was but I don't feel up for the drive. Phil has made the coal fire so I'm cuddled up in front of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I'm sure there's a bit of Scot in me somewhere. If I do have a bash it will be without currants - I can't bear the thought of crunching fruit. Even when they are supposed to be seedless the currants still crunch - yuk. And it will be marmalade without the bits too. There's also haggis (apparently there are lots of secret recipes probably because they didn't want anyone to go "don't like that" ) Stand corrected - it is Dumpling (or you can make more I suppose). Scotch Broth (yum) Cullen Skink (not fond of smoked stuff) Partan Pie (sounds lovely - crabby yum) Herrings in Oatmeal (yum porridge) Scottish Collops You know what type of eggs Mutton Pie Flummery Scottish Sausages (hog's face I'm just fussy) And now we have a Welsh food Toasted Debs. You snuggle and lie low, lil peeps. Edited to add haggis is yum, but I'm sure I've said that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Toasted Debs, the amount of fat I have on me I'd me more like crackling I am hardly lil peeps Haggis is yum Koojie.

Valkyrie Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Well that's funny - I had some of yours on toast. Mum and I shared a crumpet and we had a slice of toast (she had butter on hers - to be fair I only got your jar out after I'd done hers heheheheh). Then I told her about it being grandad's jam!

PurpleTree Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hi all! Well I was feeling so rotten yesterday I ended up going to the out-of-hours doctor. He very helpfully said it could be the Swine Flu virus or it could be any of the other of hundreds of virus' going around Cardiff at the moment. I thought I'd had a high temperature since Thursday, really hot, sweaty, but shivering. Typically when he took my temperature yesterday it was normal! Just told me I'd probably feel rough for a few more days and to lie on the sofa and do nothing. I laughed at that point, and told him we had 2 young children. Do feel slightly better today, I can speak slightly louder, yesterday my voice was no more than a whisper. Managed to eat some roast dinner at my mum's too, so finger's crossed. Think Olly might be coming down with something again now though, both boys have coughing badly since last night. Hope we're all well for Dan's birthday on Tuesday and Bonfire Night on Thursday.

Lewis Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I keep getting fits of sneezes mid conversation and have to stop talking Just been to the aunt + uncle with chickens for sunday lunch The 3 y.o. cousin was there and he got out Hilary the little buff rock bantam and she got to go on a bike and slide She just sat there as if it was normal! Need to do the work now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Lewis my DH said if you're about to sneeze, slap your thigh really hard it stops you sneezing. I haven't tried this so good luck but don't end up with a bruised leg instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I'll try that one! My aunt always says look into a bright light - but we have 700 watt bulbs in stage lights + I can say for certain it doesn't work looking into one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I always found pressing on the bridge of your nose helps to make the sneeze forget it's intentions! But there's always that one that escapes. Hmmm, thigh slapping - perfect for pantomime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Early night and off to bed - school tomorrow / I bought 3 more 100 solar LED lights earlier (2 are for my aunt ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Ah school's back. Took Ciaran for yet another interview. I so hope he gets this one - needless to say none of the others bothered to get back to him. Although it is a bit awkward to get to, there should be plenty of buses - right by the North Hampshire Hospital! He said he was so overdressed with his suit - the man who interviewed him was wearing a Beanie hat, sweatshirt, jeans and trainers. Wear what you like here said the fellow. Turns out the boss also has a rock band and plays gigs in London and around. I do hope the young whippersnapper has landed on his feet. He said that he felt he got on well with the boss and hopes this will work. It's part time, but it's a job with a permanent position further down the line. I took this grumpy boy in and brought a bright and breezy, chatty lad home! Sigh . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Evening all My laptop is still broken, so only a flying visit to say Hi. Phil has ordered me a new part, so hopefully my laptop will be fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hello! Awww Lewis I so hoped you'd be able to tell me if that worked before I had to try it My girls are in bed too but I did get to see them after school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 EMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Glad your sneezing fit has finished Lewis. Poor Debs, now you see her, now you don't. Well done JJ. I didn't even get that for English! (Probably bored the pants off the examiner). Well I'm off to do Murray's dindins as he's had a very long day at the warehouse the other side of London - up at 5 he was (just as well I couldn't get him to stop snoring last night). I popped an article on snoring from the newspaper in his laptop the other day - he never once mentioned it. Methinks someone will be getting lots of snoring related items from Boots for Christmas.
