Lesley Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 You two sound like a load of Builders - sorry to any builders out there! Lesley If I go away and sulk the forum will go quiet again (unless Kate can argue with herself - and I wouldn't put that past her) Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicki Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I'm in work so will be eating a sandwich out of the machine if there are any left! Same boxing day. Still have just been stuffing myself with all sorts of goodies in France so need a diet! Nicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 Poor you - sounds like a machine sandwich could be just the diet you are looking for! Couldn't you take a packed lunch - Turkey sandwiches etc? Kate will make you one, she spends most of her time cooking and making packed lunches - Gourmet ones!

Kate will make you one, she spends most of her time cooking and making packed lunches - Gourmet ones! Lesley Poor Nicki - been there and done that during my nursing days - miserable, isn't it, having to work when everyone else is having fun. Hope you get time off when the others go back to work! As for the packed lunches - I'm not sure Marmite sandwiches qualify as "gourmet" ! Perhaps Delia's TV Christmas will start a run of Marmite and Turkey recipes - count me out though - yuk!!!

I met you a few weeks ago, and You're stick thin!!!!! . All the chicken keeping, dog walking and horse riding .... shame the latter 2 came to an end earlier this year for me, else I would be a former shadow. haha. Anyway ... Turkey for us, at the out-laws ... I am in charge of the 16 lbs of flesh though, so have ordered a good un. Felt it was the least I could do, to avoid a tough old bird no I don't mean the mother-in-law. Sarah (yes I am still around!)

I could have come to see both of you the other week when we visited Derbyshire/Macclesfield for my second walk since knee injury two years ago and then you would both feel stick thin Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicki Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 We have managed to curtail work tomorrow to a coupole of hours - full shift Boxing day though! Its throwing it down here at the moment an I have to say I'm hoping it doesn't snow. So I think I will make it to mums for some turkey. We had mussels last night, its pheasant tonight and guinea fowl on New Years eve so the odd marmite sandwhich won't go amiss. It would have been great to see you in Macclesfield - any time as long as you can cope with the madhouse. New Otterhound arriving in January - bye bye any lawn I dreamt of! Have a good Christmas and New Year Nicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 Don't work too hard Nicki - have a good Christmas. Perhaps you might get snowed in on Christmas night and not be able to get to work on Boxing Day?! Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 Oo-er! Well, yes, I've changed into Mrs.Tweedy now! "Chickens in - pies out" We are having a practise run with two chickens in isolation ready to do the deed tomorrow and eat on Sunday. It's been a very steep learning curve but I'm happy where I am.
