I lived in the Kettering area then near Oakham. I do miss the countryside and all the lovely woods. But the sea makes up for it now Grin

Thanks for the recipe - I will get some puff pastry at the weekend!

I found you! I turn my back and there you go filling up the thread!

I just bought a new bed, www.landofbeds.co.uk/silentnight/divan-beds/geltex-pocket-ultra-3000-peridot/king-size it looks high!

NoWordForFluffy · 20/02/2018 12:38

How old are you, Sally? I may know you (or of you!). I went out with a lad from Oakham very briefly. It's nice there!

They're very tasty sausage rolls, Mrs. 😁

I grew peppers last year but they failed in that although some did bear fruit, it didn't ripen. I've started them earlier this year and will feed them more too. Hopefully it'll help.

NoWordForFluffy · 20/02/2018 12:40

I'd need a ladder for that, Fridge. The DC couldn't get on either (maybe that's your aim?!).

FridgeCut · 20/02/2018 13:13

Mwahahahahah I am 5ft2.5 I will need a trampoline to bounce on. wilf and gabe have no hope teeheheheheheheheheheheheh

TheWoollybacksWife · 20/02/2018 16:05

I've got that bed Fridge - well the ottoman version (I hide all the Christmas presents in the ottoman). I'm a fellow shortarse and have to take a running jump to get into it. I swear the first few times DH either feared for his life or thought his luck was in Grin

FridgeCut · 20/02/2018 16:37

I've gone for the half ottoman, is it comfy?! I am looking forward to the running jump :)

TheWoollybacksWife · 20/02/2018 16:50

It is a-may-zing-ly comfortable. I love my bed Grin We got the headboard in the same fabric too. It looks brilliant.

Ordered a couple of new bed linen sets to go with it :)

So glad to hear it is comfy. We have an older version of the mattress and it has served us well :)

NoWordForFluffy · 20/02/2018 17:27

I'm 5'11" and I reckon I'd still struggle! 😂😂

It looks lovely though.

WreckTangled · 20/02/2018 18:15

We've recently had a new bed. It's a divan and is sooooo comfy I bloody love it.

SideOrderofSprouts · 20/02/2018 19:12

Argh I missed the end of the thread!

SideOrderofSprouts · 20/02/2018 19:13

sally which island are you in? I’m a knitter!

WreckTangled · 20/02/2018 19:19

We had McDonald's for dinner. Limited though as their card machine wasn't working...

SallyLockhartsDog · 20/02/2018 19:32

I use bought pastry. The recipe tells you to! 😁

Most celebrity chefs will use bought puff pastry; they aren't pastry chefs after all!

SideOrderofSprouts · 21/02/2018 07:49

sally. I’m jersey too!!
What do you think of our predicted weather next week

HairsprayBabe · 21/02/2018 08:07

Looovely sausage rolls!

I love a sauage roll, as a veggie they are my kryptonite I have to avoid them when I have had a few drinks as I have no self control!

although the linda mccartney ones are pretty nice!

No more news on Grandad, he is 80 in December? I feel like a child but is that really old? I always seemed to have very young GPs until the last 2 or three years, my Grandmothers were both married at 18 and are in their early 70s - my other grandfather is 75 this year... I just never considered their mortality, it felt like they would always be there...

WreckTangled · 21/02/2018 08:07

Lovely sunny morning albeit a bit chilly.

Mrsmadevans · 21/02/2018 08:22

Morning all.
Fluffy , pastry is a right pita to make so it is no wonder all the chefs buy it. I can remember all the rubbing in and rolling out , the mess from the flour and the trying to get the pastry off our hands. My mum used to joke that you would see ppls nails clean after they made pastry yuk and thrice yuk shudder l just remembered that from when l was a kid lol perhaps it was best left forgotten Xmas GrinXmas Grin
Fancy Sally and Sprout living on Jersey , you lucky things you Envy lol
Off to St Brides today for a walk in the wetlands , weather going to be good so they say . We shall see .
Have a good day everyone !

HEHE we all x posted within a few seconds , great minds think alike !
Hairspray as you get older then 80 really doesn't seem that old . You are still very young don't worry ! Hope Grandad is much better very soon bless him. Linda Mcartney sausage rolls are vegan and DD1 loves them too .
Wreck it is lovely here too, woke up at 7 and the light was quite good ....Spring is in the air !

Gotta be honest Sprouts I am kinda hoping for snow! Although seeing the farmers putting extra blankets on the Royals made me think maybe that is a bit selfish of me!! Are you a bean?

I had a lovely day walking to the park and on the beach with the DC and I am now exhausted. Going to watch My Fair Lady with my crochet Grin
