to say that you've gorn and done it again, IPOAT?

[Hullygully]

Weddings.

We.end.with.weddings.

Not monkey shit.

Shove up the chaise-longueguegue. I am returned. Whilst away I have been initiated into the mysterious world of octonaughts and gigglebiz. My mind is boggled, have we any unboggling magic cocktail.
I also have to do gluten free My fave of the moment is Nigella's venetian carrot cake.

Anyone who makes a good lemon meringue pie can be my friend.

It must be tangy though. I can't be doing with anything too sweet.

This was extremely tangy. Extra lemon juice and a very light hand with the sugar.

You would not have liked the fruit cocktail cake.

Mmmmm. Pie. Where is Mimi when the talk turns to pie?
I want to, but am scared to, try Nigella's grasshopper pie.

Big 'ol bit of pie for Rivulet

You are all very rude. Not one of you said, "Oh hello, Mini, how lovely to have you back, how have you been?"

Oh no, it's all cake cake cake.

Hello, Mini dear, how dost?

Welcome back Mini. I cannot help with the cocktail. I am still feeling ropey after last night. My hangovers last all day now. Sometimes two.

My lovely Dad took over the cooking of DH's birthday lunch today and now I am done in and off to bed.

I do love eating, drinking and being merry but I am pants at this morning/afternoon/evening after business.

mwah mwah to one and all

You can tell I don't feel up to par. Not a smiley in sight in that last post.

Thank you dear Hully, most welcoming. Having been exposed to small ones over the last couple of days I must now reframe my brain. A G&T will do. Sorry to hear about the hangover Gibbs, alas I have no instant hangover cure. Regarding cake, I must tighten my corset to fit into many of my clothes (well almost)post christmas, Umami's calory free looks erm, delicious.

Hello mini. Sorry I was rude :(

I have no knowledge of octonaughts and gigglebiz myself - should I be concerned?

Jins your edycation is sorely lacking, get thee to Cbeebies at once. You too can go insane quite cheaply.

Oh, you are forgiven too, not minding at all.

mini

HERE you all are....I have searching MN for you. Many thanks Jin. And you have done 8 pages!

Romance update. Went to michelin star restaurant. He was a bit of a knob, but hey, who cares with that grub?

Went on another who took me to Ed's Easy DIner.

Trying to shake off 29 year old.

Don't shake off 29 year olds!!!!!

Indeed do not shake off a 29 year old. Soon he will be thirty. Although maybe he should be shook off before present buying and party organisation is in order

29.......................

nom nom

you are very spartan and miserly with your info, Mimi.

We would like more.

And pictures. Pictures would be good.

"Shake off", eh? Is that what the kidz is callin' it these days? 29 year olds are fabulous, I'm almost one myself. :) More info, please! And pictures, as Pag said. Definitely pictures.

No butting here, Cheerful, you are an Old Gel of these parts.

Could we see pics from website..? If you did linkees, we could help you choose.

I think proper links would be a step too far, but I can do an approximation

[[dead ringer but without the smile, and a poker up butt]

oops!

29 year old

The other one I cant even be bothered to find a lookey likey for

I think that if it were me I would not be in a hurry to shake off the 29 year old too soon. He would have to be paraded in public for a while. Maybe that is a bit shallow but hey ho!

I have resolved my car insurance dilemma by trading my car in. Currently clearing a year's worth of detritus from the money pit old one ready for it to go tomorrow.

Well...I would like to look at the pic but apparently it's too salacious. The school's website (yes, I Mumsnet from work most shamelessly) has blocked it as it is "adult content". Well really Madam...
