......so I Forgot To Buy Biscuits With The Weekly Shop

[Iluvspikey]

So I get out my fav recipe that makes 30, double it and divide between 4 bowls. As we have lots of Easter eggs, I didn't want to make any chocolate ones, so in the first bowl I put ground almonds and chopped cherries, 2nd bowl chopped sultanas and lemon zest, third bowl chopped walnuts and two teaspoons of esspreso coffee powder, and the last bowl some crystalised chopped ginger, a little treacle and a pinch of ground ginger. I bake them, leave them to cool on wire racks and go for a shower. In comes my 3 brood plus 1 Girlfriend, neighbour with grandson, hubby with neighbour helping him to mend car. Oh, and the postman who had a nasty encounter with neighbour's 2 Rottweiler guard dogs.Guess how many biscuits I have left? 3.......2 dog's just had one courtesy of Thomas! If any of my lot moan tonight there's no biscuits so help me i'll....

showering before the postman?

[Iluvspikey]

my son heard screaming and opened the front door to see the postie and one of the rottweilers - it had got out, they're usually locked up when neighbour is home. So he went out and pulled the postman through the gate. He's been bitten

[friedgreentomato]

well that dog deserves to be put down - I hope the postman reports it!!

[Mick-Talbot]

ooooh ...there is nothing worse than a screaming rottweiler

[Iluvspikey]

Erm, Do you mind, my hubby was in the garage with nextdoor neighbour fixing his car! I'd been in the garage shifting stuff so they could work inside and not out on the drive - I felt rotten-dusty and grubby so went for a quick shower!

[Mick-Talbot]

Do you live in Candlewick Green by any chance, Spikey?

[Mick-Talbot]

Camberwick Green even.

[Iluvspikey]

What are you getting at Mr. Talbot?

[Mick-Talbot]

It's just the last line in your post @ 14:02 sounded like it came from an episode of Trumpton.


I felt rotten-dusty and grubby so went for a quick shower!

[Mick-Talbot]

I felt Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb so went for a quick shower!



No?

[Iluvspikey]

When we feel dirty we say ' i feel rotten' in our family, then I realised that people might not undertand what I meant, so I explained

[Iluvspikey]

Surely your surname can't be Talbot - must be Cant.


Wasn't it Brian Cant who narrated those programmes?

[Mick-Talbot]

Apparently he was the narrator.

Scripts are by Alison Prince;

[Iluvspikey]

a Prince or a Cant. What a choice!
Police have arrived oh and the paramedics gotta go
