I have reconciled myself to Arsenals never returning to this thread though I think that's pretty bad form

Hello Aridane. It is very sad.

I don't like HCBs either, but made an exception for the caramel and choc ones. They were the only ones I could find that didn't have sultana type things in them.

Sassy, no power?! That's a bit of a horror! How long till it c9mes back on again? BrewBrewBrew

The dog and I have done a deal. I'll stay on the nice snug bed if he does. I'm hoping it will last all day, and I don't ne3d to walk him. Yesterday was scuppered by DS2 needing a lift home from school. Dog said that as I was up and dressed anyway I might as well walk him. Hey ho.

They reckon another 2-3hrs....already been off for 1.5hrs....got to pick DD up from school in less than an hour....might have to eat our lunch in the car as at least I can put the heating on! It's not good Sad s'posed to be working from home....not going well....sitting in friend's hairdressing salon by a heater having a coffee at mo as too cold to be at home....

picklemepopcorn · 01/03/2018 11:31

MacDonald's? That's rough. Can you borrow a heater for one room, and get yourselves cosy?

TheSassyAssassin · 01/03/2018 11:40

How do I plug it in and turn it on though pickle? 😂

Was remembering when my boiler was broken for a few days.

Calor Gas heater? Candles are surprisingly good, too, in a small room. If you're desperate. Do you camp, have you got a gas camping stove or lantern?

Eek, hope it it's sorted soon...

TheSassyAssassin · 01/03/2018 12:38

Power back on! That was a cold few hours. Heating cranked up and now drinking hot soup that I can actually heat up. Hopefully everything - inc. me - will thaw out soon! Brrrrrrrr....

picklemepopcorn · 01/03/2018 13:08

Yay! Lucky DD being out

TheSassyAssassin · 01/03/2018 13:17

Yes....Fingers crossed it's sorted properly as school now shut until Monday. Storm Emma hitting again with a vengeance outside! In some ways pleased was home alone this morn and could get it sorted ...would've been far worse if came home after work to dark home with no heat and prob zero chance of it getting fixed as there'll be lots more power cuts as today goes on I suspect...my cup of tea that am now drinking has never tasted so good!

It feels like the house is going to blow away, here. I'm getting very nesh in my old age, I'm sure I'd have taken it in my stride when I was younger.

SneakyGremlins · 01/03/2018 14:32

I HAVE A DOTD NOW Grin

TheSassyAssassin · 01/03/2018 15:26

Ooh just seen - lovely snow pics Sneaky Smile

How's things with you now pickle? Heating finally done its job and am toasty and warm here...and relax! Bit of a white-out outside though but sooo relieved to be warm again!

Aridane · 01/03/2018 15:37

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arsenals - eat your heart out

SneakyGremlins · 01/03/2018 15:50

Unlike Arsenals I'm not just going to disappear..

picklemepopcorn · 01/03/2018 16:12

Gremlins? Is that you? I thought I heard you...

Just had a Bramley Apple HCB....and very nice it was too! ( x )

picklemepopcorn · 03/03/2018 16:26

I made pear and cinnamon Welsh cakes. Not very nice too. Sad

TheSassyAssassin · 03/03/2018 16:55

Well they sound lovely pickle! Why not nice?

EinsteinsArousedSausagesHCB · 03/03/2018 17:01

Oooh I had a bramley Apple HCB slathered in lemon curd last night!

Agree they sound lovely pickle, I bloody love cinnamon.

Just got back from the hairdresser's and it's so windy I look like I've been dragged through a sodding hurricane! Sad

EinsteinsArousedSausagesHCB · 03/03/2018 17:02

HCB ( X ) HCB

TheSassyAssassin · 03/03/2018 17:07

OMG....I forgot about my lemon curd revelation . Was it as amazing as I am imagining? 😍

Oops. Sorry about your hair! Though your hurricane description did make me chuckle! HCB ( X ) HCB

EinsteinsArousedSausagesHCB · 03/03/2018 17:13

I left the salon with gorgeous swishy waves............before long I looked remarkably similar to this.

The lemon curd was AMAZING!!!!! Tangy gooey lemony bliss mmmmmm..............

To park in a parent & child space because I can't walk properly in my high heels?
TheSassyAssassin · 03/03/2018 17:16

Wow! That's some, um, serious toothage! Grin

Arggghhh! So jealous about the lemon curd HCBness! When the snow melts that will be on my essential items list!!!!!

EinsteinsArousedSausagesHCB · 03/03/2018 17:39

Well I really should have... blended it, as I gave up all things delicious for Lent.

But the bloody snow has meant the majority of my usual exercise classes have been cancelled this week, which of course means I haven't been able to get warm whatsoever, as I've done fuck all.

But but but.....I have lost 7lb since the beginning of Lent, so why the hell not cram in a lemon curdy HCB?! Wink
