Ee ba gum Maggie, surely thee naws a yorksher accent!:^O  I've added someone (don't know who) and I've written in a little box (don't know why):^O

So ...... which bit of Yorksher you from then CG 🙂
I'm from the best bit :^O

[chickengrandma-2008]

[hiddengems2010]

[hiddengems2010]

Time for my bed i think,

Night night Ladies :-x

[chickengrandma-2008]

Sieve is right, I know because I've been caught out with that one (on many occasions).  I have a friend I email, an old school friend, who still lives in Yorkshire, a place called Thorngumbald (could only be Yorkshire with a name like that!:^O) near Hull, which is where I was born:-( who goes to Whitby for a weeks holiday four times a year.  They never go anywhere else because they love it so much.

Right, I think I'll join Maggie in bed, not literally you understand, we don't have that sort of relationship!:O  I have a spotty grandchild coming in the morning!  Night night gems and ck if you're still around.:-x

[oh_pee]

Mornin' All.  Not looking forward to the incoming frosts.  I've "done" winter now and certainly don't envy them thar peeps in Scotch-land.

CG, your cake got the thumbs up from PJ (PP obsessive now in training to be a Cinderella obsessive) :-D.

Merlin, I got my new toy yesterday - And am currently trying it out with orange & lemon slices.  Is there something that I need to do to narna slices to stop them looking manky & brown? I have lots of narnaz looking hopefully at it but I know they'll be rejected afterwards if they go all brown when i dry them.

[****merlin*****]

morning!!

when i did mine, (and i just totally made it up as i went, maybe googling will say different)

i got a pasta bowl and covered the bottom in lemon juice
i cut my bananas diagonally, but i always do anyways
this gives bigger "chips"
layed them in the lemon juice, turned, and placed on the rack, just sitting on the draining board to let drips, drip through

that was it, when i filled the tray (make sure they dont touch) just bunged them in

you did run it with nothing in it for the recommended time didnt you?

apart from that, they turned out just fine
i still have some of the first lot i did left and they are teh same as when i did them

asda have 3 bottle of lemon juice for £1 at the moment, which is the cheapest i can get it here,

[ilove2patch]

Morning all. No pain! Just a dull ache.:-) I had a restless night but no pain from my hip.

Heavy frost here last night. Looks like the cold weather is back!

[hiddengems2010]

Good that there's no pain Maggie, should the ache wear off soon ??

I'm not dressed yet, going for my ecg & treadmill this aft so waiting as long as i can before i get my shower.

Can i still wear my deoderant when i'm going for ecg, i know not to wear body spray but dont know about deo ??

[ilove2patch]

I should't put any on if I were you. Just to be certain.You are not going to smell are you? lol:^O

[hiddengems2010]

lol i hope not!!

😮

[ilove2patch]

I must finish my place mats today. I can pack the sewing stuff away then & make the house pretty.:-D

[hiddengems2010]

when you've made yours pretty can you come and do mine please 😄

better go start sorting some clothes to wear 🙂

Dont work to hard Maggie 😉

[ilove2patch]

I am meant to be resting today. I feel fine but I will be good.;-)

[oh_pee]

Pain free sounds good Maggie.  Just remember to go easy for a few days though - the tidying up can wait!!!

Yes, follwed the destructions, Merlin.  I was getting all impatient LOL!  My orange slices are a bit thick, I think but they are about half way there.  They're for the jars of lemon curd & orange curd.

I've just bought two bags of apples too, in preperation for the cinnamon & brown sugar apple rings - They sound divine!

I've got a list of stuff left to make so have been running around like a looney this morning trying to get it all in whilst PJ is at school so I can do it when they're in bed.  Mulling syrup is next on the list if I can find any pesky whole allspice. I have ground stuff though so will use that if I have to.  I'll just have to sieve it very very well LOL!

That's fine as long as it is just on your armpits, remember not to wear an underwired bra or tights

[cat-knitter]

Maybe different area's have different rules but I had a treadmill ECG earlier this year, it was Ok for me to keep my underwired bra on (I don't have any other kind :^O)

Good luck Gems you'll feel like your climbing Everest 😉

[****merlin*****]

orange slices will take at least 14 hrs Oh Pee
longer if they are thicker than recommended

and i should have said, take out the pips

i also use a skewer to push through the flesh, so its easy to attach string/ribbon etc after they are dried

making christmas sacks for their christmas eve hampers

pringles & coffee is a balanced lunch, right?:^O
