Due April 2009: Episode 21 - RLT officials have stern words with the April mums after stocks plummet!!

[PuzzleRocks]

Thanks to Nutty for all the thread suggestions including this one. I hope no one minds but I picked this one in honour of the brilliant race commentary we had from Nuts and Frekkles the other night. Hopefully we will get some more.

boff did you get the last post on the thread?
puzzle will flip!!!

boff you are eeeeeeeevil!!

I should call if BoffBeef stew really, shouldn't I?

It has mild onions, butternut squash, carrots, tomato puree, red wine, beef stock, S and P, garlic, 3 cloves (magic ingedient), and 1 lb of stewing steak. Might put some thyme in it if I can be fagged going out to the garden.

I've had a bloody show this morning

I did.

I am last and proud.

Yippeee Mumble!

Glad doctors was okay BB. I daresay GPs are less experienced at hunting out foetal heartbeats and so on, whereas MW does it a zillion times a day. My MW has a quick prod and then goes straight in for the right spot with the doppler! Deeply engaged sounds promising - the measurements used here are the same I think - they record the palpable fifths so the smaller the better! Did he do your BP after spending ages for the heartbeat? Possibly just the old white coat effect!

Juwes, we found a slight coding flaw that lets us bypass the rules. I worked it out when I was competing against Springy a few threads back. If you think about it you will be able to work out what to do as well.

Just a flying post....I hear small feet coming up the stairs !

Really excited although I know you can get a show weeks before anything else happens but I've not had a show of any sort before so very exciting.

Rang DH as work to let him know - now maybe he'll actually start handing over some of his deadlines due in the next month as I know he hasn't actually done so up til now.

gotta go before DD starts posting !!!

Think about it? Goodness, you overestimate me.

I think, therefore I am a Mumsnetter.

Is there some kind of regulation which states that this server must go down at least once a day?

Boff, I've been wondering about slow cookers - I've never even heard of them before MN, but everyone seems to rave about them. What are they exactly?!

I just prepared some chicken en croutes for dinner tonight. I don't really like cooking real chicken after my many years as a veggie because I'm always convinced that I'll give people food poisoning. I'm hoping to have avoided that...

I also just sat & ate an entire cucumber Pregnancy is so very strange.

& Boff - you underestimate me

oooh better check my phone is charged and that I check it regularly

If I'm going to be the last to pop I want to be one of the first to impart good news.

Ju- thats yur problem Pooh was abear of very little brain. You need owl or Rabbit

"Owl," said Rabit shortly, "you and I have brains. The others have fluff. If there is any thinking to be done in this Forest - and when I say thinking I mean thinking - you and I must do it."

mumblemum - YAY for the show!

BB - equally YAY for the 'deeply engaged'!

It's almost as exciting watching everyone else edging close to the finish line as doing it myself. It's good that I can live vicariously.

Can I put in a request that you all carry on posting after you've had yours or again I'll be sitting on an empty thread

Well Boff is clearly Owl, and Springy has to be rabbit! It all makes sense!!

I don't know why I should tell you about slow cookers if you insist on defying your elders and betters by finishing the other thread.

With a slow cooker you basically bung in stew or chilli ingredients, or indeed anything else that requires a sauce, and leave it for six hours or so to cook while you are out at work. You come home to a house smelling of delicious food ready to eat there and then. They are also useful for keeping food hot at parties, and making rice pudding and things like that.

When I am au pairless and have the boys in after school clubs I get this all ready before I leave in the morning, and then dish it up when we all get in at 6, which works really well.

I definitely have fluff.

I think I'm more of an Eyore at the moment, actually.

If it makes you feel better Ju I think I'm eeyore

Also, re: slow cookers, whole chickens apparently! Without adding fluid! I had heard of this, but didn't believe it until I saw that other thread recently.

Or Marvin the Paranoid Android. Brain the size of a planet, and the diodes hurting all down my left hand side.

Oh no! Two eeyores.

Perhaps we will build you a house, at Pooh Corner, that you can share.

"Your plastic pal who's fun to be with"?!!

Will it be a house porn commune?
