andi&di, I am giving your hoover serious thought. It's important.
It's as important as the Gordons' Gin Bottle I once did, but more dusty, obvioiusly....

That explains why I am finding it so hard getting up in the morning and walking down the stairs. Its cos I is a grampa.

Well I'm still surprised that you've managed to keep your elephant-sized gob schtum on this one, my dear... Tee hee!

Hey! You jus' know I've got all my fingies and toesies crossed, and those of the cat, and the other cat, which has made them grumble very much, but they will forgive you if your catnip-choccy-drop-cake is the massive success that I know that it will be.

Love n' that, my darling girlie, and news and piccies all round when you are ready...?

Default I should CoCo!

Ready as ready can be sweetart, and no mistake!
I've closely been attending to your HOME PAGE my darling, and I'm dead impressed. I'm sorry to be 'holding back' a touch myself, but I've been concentrating too hard and trying to find a Catnip Choccie to put on my 'Not a Chocolate Button In Sight Novelty Cake' from the 'Untidy Drawer'?!

I'm happy to report that Fert'n'Liza's newborn is coming to The Ayleburton Show with me toady, and he's really really cute?
You're going to LOVE his funky trainers....
Anyhow. I must nod off now if I'm going to be any use to Freddie Flobalob in a few hours. Goodness knows that Nigella Lawson would be completely ashamed of my efforts at being a Domestic Goddess.... and Paul Hollywood would NOT employ me as his Master Baker.....The Kitchen is a complete mess. Trousers thinks I'm completely NUTS and and Freddie's two mini-me scones are WAY too better than my grown-up ones!
Ooh! not long now!

Only just getting around to reading this thread! Good luck today Wellie!

I should (hopefully) bring a smile to 2,500 people's faces in December. Yep its panto time and I am producing and directing this year again. Got my principals, chorus and stage set all sorted. Just got to get everybody moving and singing in the right directions over the next few weeks before the fun starts with costumes, lighting and special effects. It is always worth all the effort to hear the laughter in the Theatre especially that one little child who gets a fit of the giggles!

Jenny, is it REALLY that time again? How time flies! And may I enquire of the title of this years' Panto Performance that you're going to need fake tan for again?!?! (See All Girlies to the ready with make-up tips.....) Please do start a spesh proper thread on it so we can all follow progress pretty please??

And thank you for all your good wishes for The Aylburton Fruit'n'Veg Show today wot I took part in. It did go well, I must say, and whilst I'm going upstairs for 'a heads down' now before the Prize-Giving this evening, so no photos till my Blob update, I can tell you that Wellie won five First Prize Rosettes, and four Second Prize Rosettes.
And one of the Firsts was for THE LONGEST RUNNER BEAN my darling Hazel at The Hill.
WOOHOO!!!! (See Wellie jump up and down, clapping her hands like an overexcited child).
(See HAZEL jump up and down, clapping her hands like an overexcited child....)

Oh, and I won Best in Show on the Vegetable section, and Best in Show in the whole Show, evidently. Which way round it is I'm not sure, but Fert'n'Liza's Newborn (Freddie Flobalob - he is SO CUTE?!) and the Display Hamper of Vegetables was one, and the other was my Decorated Cake (with coloured-in Choccie Button!), which was a spoof front page of our local newspaper, which has a logo of GROW YOUR OWN in the top right hand corner, and their growfruitandveg.co.uk for people to visit and meet Fert'n'Liza for real..... and much much more kiddie winkies - but you'll have to wait for the photos because I must crash out now for an hour.

But before I do. I could have cried..... Monsieur Con Dubois (for those that are properly following the plot), has since commissioned me to make his 70th Birthday Cake next year, whether we're living in France or not. How cool is that?

But, you know why I did so well children? Trousers has just made me laugh my sox off - he was wearing a pair of my Lucky Pants. Men!........
