Good morning ladies, Janet don't you ever sleep and Andrea what on earth you doing up at that ungodly hour of the morning Grey horrible day here no rain just miserable looking. Managed to get my craft room tidy yesterday just the floor to hoover and it's all done. Got a few cards to finish off to day and try and get round to finishing my Christmas cards, got all bar one of the Birthday cards for next month done yesterday, was so nice making them after all those Christmas ones
Hope everyone has a good day and wrap up warm, hugs for those of you who are poorly, large slug of brandy/whisky in your coffee and a blankee I'm sure there is some old black n white film on that you only ever watch when your poorly somewhere on tv

Morning everyone, hope those that are ill are feeling a tad better today or have drunk so much toddy they no longer care about being ill he he It's finally dry here and I'm able to make it to the Mediaeval Fair after all, whooppee! he he I'm such a big kid he he

I'm suffering as I was a naughty girl Friday and yesterday Pete bought me a huge box of Maltesers to cheer me up when I was going stir crazy ..... no I haven't finished them he he I still have half a box left I'm suffering because of the way I eat them ,,,,,, tut tut tut get your minds out of the gutter he he When I eat them I hold them on the roof of my mouth, let the chocolate melt and the honeycomb pops as its melting and it gives a really weird sensation on the roof of the mouth he he You have to try it if you haven't before. Well I've done it so often that I've taken a layer of skin off the roof of my mouth so can't eat any more for a while he he . I know I'm weird he he

Hope you have a great day ladies, stay warm and keep those hot toddys flowing Hope you get all your cards finished as you wanted Jan As for Janet .... get to bed woman hehe
Hugs to all

I can remember that happening to me Jen when I was at primary school, there was this craze well sort of for buying sherbert, the real grainy stuff and ate so much of it loads of us well our tongues peeled, was really sore from what I can remember

Just watched the last one of Merlin on iplayer, really going to miss it can't wait for the next series

Was going to say good morning but see it's afternoon now so good afternoon all. Hope you enjoy your fair Jen and that your mouth gets better soon. I've done something similar in the past eating fruit pastilles!. Hope all with colds, bugs etc are feeling a bit better and Andrea hope your back is better too. Very grey and miserable here was quite foggy first thing. Went into Fleet to do a bit of shopping and the traffic wardens were out in force. Obviously they have no Christmas spirit- never seen them out on a Sunday before!

They are probably on double time Sue

Afternoon all, have just got up for a couple of minutes to check my emails and the forum Still feel the same as before - just sent Martin down to the shops to get some soluble asprin as I remember the last time I had a throat like this that's what the doctor ordered - gargling with asprin. Not very nice but it took the pain out of it. Feels like I have swallowed razor blades, it's a long time since I have felt so bad so I'm lucky really Glad you got to the Mediaeval Fair Jen. Hope everyone enjoys their day. Didnt stop raining here all day yesterday so was nice to be tucked up in bed

Good evening ladies, I do hope you will all soon be feeling better. Snap Jen I do that to. have you getting chocolate of in half without breaking the candy Weather here was better than yesterday would be as didnt have any shows on well have a good evening and I hope tomorrow is a better day for you all Janet xx

Ever tried penguin straws Janet, they are yummy, nibble opposite ends of a penguin and then dip one end in your coffee and suck the coffee through it and soon as you can taste the coffee put the whole penguin in your mouth, omg they are gorgeous, not they I have them now Lou !!!! *whistles*

He he I'm sat here laughing at all the daft things we do with our chocolates and sweets Its only cos we want the treat to last longer he he I'm eagerly waiting for my mouth to get well enough to eat the other half of the box of Maltesers he he I did share my sweeties Jan but Tash said she didn't like them so would I please eat them all he he

Likely story Jen

I shall have to try that one Jan it sounds very good the walnut whips? I always eat the nuts first, have you noticed how small they are now, Janetx

They should be called one bite walnut whips
they are tiny compared to what they used to be

Happy memories!

Works even better with Tim Tams (the Australian version of Penguins) as they are slighty more porous, even more chocolatey, and have a lovely honeycomb texture and taste -a bit like Crunchies. Bite diagonally opposite corners before sucking.

and years ago you used to get a walnut on the bottom on the inside and one on the top
I used to love dunking a bar of chocolate in my coffee and then sucking it, was yummy, melted Mars bar as a topping on a cake is nice too and the only way I would eat Mars bar
I used to nibble all the chocolate off my Bounty before eating the coconut bit in the middle too.

I tried Tim Tams an they are yuk
prefer penguins

I forgot that you are right there did use to be one inside Janetx

I know Janet we are so cheated now, and Wagon Wheels well I am sure they used to be HUGEEE but now they are more the size of an ordinary biscuit, I know my hands have grown since being a kid but surely not that much

You have me thinking now Jan. I remember when my nephew was young talking to my sister about them being so much smaller than when we had them. He is the same age as you and I haven't notice them changing since then. Maybe it is because we were smaller. When I was about 14 I was asked by a neighbour if I could pick her daughter up from school for her, when I went in to get her from the first year classroom I commented to the teacher, what a shame they didnt have the big rocking horse any more. She pointed it out to me and it was tiny - I thought it was the size of a real horse Sally mentioned one day that the chairs in her playschool were really really high when they did work. She wouldnt believe me that they were just normal dining room chairs as the playschool was in the teachers house. She had little tables and chairs for them to play with things but when they did their writing the sat at the dining table and had to be lifted onto the chairs. Wouldn't happen now though

No it wouldn't happen teachers aren't even allowed to touch the kids it's so sad, I remember we used to hold our teachers hand and alsorts in the playground but it is frowned upon nowadays
