KEEP THEM! That's a total no-brainer!

You could always pop them in the post.... to me!

.. what chocholate... ???? *if anyone asks* ... while wiping ur face & looking like a hampster. hehe

Oooh yeah I'll "look after them" for you.....

Morning......

Jen, your toe sounds horrid, but you sound like you had a fab time last night...you really do enjoy that kickboxing don't you. Have a lovely time with the Christmas dinner... yum. And you're a star as well hey? in the HP film? I love the books and the films although I thought the third film wasn't as good as the first two. Hannah is an vid fan, she's even got the glasses which her friend in AZ constantly wore and funnily enough, they actually suited her...

Bloody ****, it's like a blizzard out there, these weather men are crap here. They said we'd have a few little flurries through the morning and it would be windy and extremely cold. I'm not a slow typist, but it was tiny little flakes when I clicked onto this and now it's covering everywhere and big huge flakes again. :snowman:

Sarah, see Ellie knows what a super life she has, living with you, even though she went through the hedge, sne found her way back to you. that must be some sight watching a Great Dane lollop after a deer...

Helen, ummmm, chocs... they sound wonderful, i think I'd have to eat them and be selfish and not share.... have fun at the party.

Ok, must go and get ready for curves, in the snow.... later girls.

Hi Chris - Ellie lollops when she trots - but when she wants to she can run like a greyhound - MUCH faster that the boys. I googled Great Dane history and apparently they were bred as hunting dogs and she seems to be a natural. I was so scared she'd come back covered in blood but thankfully the deer seems to have been faster.

I hope that old thing about the UK getting the US's weather two weeks after doesn't hold true - that would give us blizzard conditions just in time for Christmas.

Morning.

Learn something new every day. I didn't know they had adult HP books.

Frus your toe sounds sore.I don't like toenails when things go wrong with them and they have to be removed

Chocolates one every couple of days indulge yourself. Or eat the lot.

Chris new coat where did you get it?

Off to curves then shopping

The adult Harry Potter books are just different covers right? Nothing actually is different inside? I'm gonna have to have a flick through and see Frus in the first film now.

I keep looking on the Hotel Chocolat website for no reason just in the hope one day I may get a £16 Serious Dark Fix box or a All Dark Club Voucher (12 months) £182.00

orrrrrrrrrrr The Ultimate Christmas Hamper £129.95

We've just had our Departmental (emphasis on mental) christmas meeting. I was worried there would not be enogh to eat. It looks lie all the cheese went except the big slab of Feta (which is in my fridge!).

The Departmental Frenchman brought in 2 loves cakies from a French patisserie in South Kensington. Gorgeous! A strawberry one - very creamy - almost like an icecream cake. I don't normally like strawberry things but the fresh strawberry went well with the creaminess. Oh and a gorgeous choccy mousse cake!

Plus I borught in a stollen from Lidl - Marks & Spencer put glace cherries in theirs! WHY?????? YUCK.

We are so international and it is interesting seing those from Germany, Greece, Italy and the Chinese guy from New Zealand trying Mince pies for the first time!

Someone whose shall be nameless (think of a bird or a colour!) had TWO slices of the strawberry cake!!!!

I was pleased that people liked the coffee I made as I was used to making coffee for the Greek Cypriot boss I had once who - like me- liked it really strong- and whenever we had visitors they needed a drink of water afterwards!!!

YP1 - I bet your costume won't be as good as our Frenchman's which was an elephant in a tutu. He had the guts to wear it on the tube to the amusement of the children (the adults being British 'did not notice'.....

No - they are different. The storyline is the same just differently written with adults in mind. The nasty characters are nastier and she goes in to more guesome detail about the Deatheaters, Voldemort and Azkaban.

Peacock - don't worry about the two slices of strawberry cake - just look on it as providing the strawberries for one of your 5 portions of fruit & veg.

Oh NO! Why did you mention stollen - I'm going to spend the evening lusting after it now. (Lidl's stollen is the nicest I've ever had.)

Sarah Ann - There was also fruit in the bit of booze laden pavlova I had too - some I am well sorted fruit wise!!

Stollen stollen stollen!! Yes I got it from Lidl as it is much better than the Marks one - why spoil anything with blasted glace cherries?

I have some left over and it is in my office!!!!

Stollen

I don't mind glace cherries but they have no place in stollen. Have you tried it toasted????? Yum.

Veggie - I've just looked at the Amazon reviews on the link to the adult HP book I gave earlier and it looks like there might have been some changes to the story in the adult version.

Aaaaaaaaaargh! I'm SO TIRED!!!! I want to EAT! I can get through this! I can! I don't have to eat chocolate to wake me up!!! Those Maltesers didn't do it, so why would anything else

Sarah Ann - I have just had more strawberry gateau - (it doesn't count - it is mainly fruit - yeah right!) Well, I ate it so you would not have to !!!!
