Never thought id say this but too many puddings

I once held a birthday party for my brother. People were giving him his presents as he sat on the sofa. The cat went out, came back about fifteen minutes later and proudly plonked a dead mouse down in front of him. Happy birthday.

I don’t really mind the jelly, fruit or sponge, so I swap my custard for mum’s sponge.
I’d quite happily just do without the trifle altogether though!

We are twins!!

Polly scraped again!!!

LaMarschallin · 11/03/2026 20:57

Marcus was determined to keep Polly in.

EsmaCannonball · 11/03/2026 20:58

Nooooo! Not my Jacobean Assassin! He's been so much stronger than Polly. The pop-up challenge was so stressful but counted for very little in the end.

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 11/03/2026 20:58

Think Polly has reached her peak..

All over a biscuit

Polly keeps saying she’s going to bring it and then doesn’t!

Popfan · 11/03/2026 20:59

Marcus is definitely Polly's champion! As I said upthread he's so avuncular towards her

PotterHead1985 · 11/03/2026 20:59

Only one going? Normally id be annoyed, but this is giving me excitement that next week (where I'm working every night) is also gonna be a seminfinal week and the final week will be the following week. So whilst I'll be out for the final I can catch it the next morning.

I'll miss Friday so please be detailed in yer descriptions.

My mum’s trifle was legendary. Haven’t had it since we lost her 😢

Mammy was a pretty awful cook but she made a lovely trifle. Today's the twenty first anniversary of her death. I haven't had a decent trifle since.

My oldest became a barrister because of that programme. She wanted to be Anna. She actually is more of a Miles but I wouldn't tell her that

I got some Tiramisu hot cross buns today!

I had one a couple of days ago, warmed it up and after I ate it my whole face was covered in chocolate.

Ok, I think it just said that woman has a pop-up business called 'Eggslut.' We may have a wankiness winner.

They are in Boxhall Liverpool St, which has a branch of Eggslut. I've eaten there (not from Eggslut), it's handy for the station if meeting up with people.
(It used to be a lovely Victorian arcade, Caroline would have been at home doing a muffin pop-up there...)

I never put jelly in trifle, only fruit

...and you'd be quite correct. Mind you, if I made this to honour my Grandfather's cooking, it would need half a bottle of sherry and a good splash of brandy. Liked his booze, did Grandad.

BeaLola · 12/03/2026 13:58

In our house we really want Polly to go, DH at the pop up challenge - said “prep bananas,even you could that BeaLola “

Which begs the question, if the new home of MC is Birmingham, why have a challenge two stops down the Central Line from the old home at Stratford?
