@ G

Frannie, that's a lot of butterflies!
(maybe a bit too much)

Dinner time, be back soon

[Frannie 0]

WAY too many butterflies... creeps me out LOL

Gill you are bad to this man... and I love it!

[Zoonie 0]

ooooh how strange with all the butterflies - I'm not keen on things that flutter (in real life)
but my PS butterfly was a gift from a good friend, so I like that


Mark does seem to be doing well Frannie, I thought he'd be off a couple of weeks at least!
How's Robyn these days?

[Zoonie 0]

Hee Hee, IMOM is a baaaaad man!

One place we lived in a cul de sac, with a block paved road (no pavement/sidewalk) and IMOM rang some friends across the road (anonymously) and told them that British Telecomm were going to have to position a phone box at the end of their front garden

[Frannie 0]

sorry.. walked Robin outside... She's doing fine! and just found out that my car has been 'gone through' again! This is about an every two week happening. I keep nothing in the car and the isiots even missed the extra $10 which I keep in the glass keeper

Hi again, everyone. Sorry to leave without saying anything before, I had kids over.

I was trying to read back but it was way too much, I'd never catch up.

[Zoonie 0]

[Wish Fairy 0]

Hey everyone....OMG I just sa all those butterflies - that's unbelievable Frannie

[Toulouse 0]

I think the butterfly is pretty nice in PS, but so many butterflies...
Bit too much of something good

I'm back already!

[Toulouse 0]

I found back my old passport



I remember I needed a special paper because I was still very young...
My, my, that picture!!!

[Frannie 0]

[Zoonie 0]

I leave it unlocked, precisely because of this, I don;t need broken windows.. some in the neighborhood say to lock it... 6 of one.. 1/2 dozen of the other, I suppose. This is happening all too often though

[Frannie 0]

and am thinking of leaving a note to them in the glove box and storage compartments which they go through

[Wish Fairy 0]

Hi Frannie Glad to see that Mark seems to be doing ok !! Great news.

HI Gill / BG .....anyone else here ?

How's eveyrone's day so far (opening the bar while talking / typing )

[Zoonie 0]

Hi Wish, I got the dishwasher fixed today HOORAY!

How about your day?

Glad you found the passport BG, that's saved some hassle.

[Toulouse 0]

Yeah but I need a new one, this one was only valid until April 2000
(it's been really 11 years I've been to the States... we were there in 1999)

Hoorah for the dishwasher (kinda rhymes that )

Yep my day was ok. Am feeling much better. Had a bit of retail therapy at the weekend...
Bought this



amongst other things .........

[Zoonie 0]

Ooh very nice

[Zoonie 0]

Anyone posted Hideeni?

I managed to get my full set, but by that time I almost had a second set of spares, so now, of course, I want to complete that one too (OCD)

[Wish Fairy 0]

THanks Gill....I bought so much stuff actually ! I like the trouser suit - not somthing I would normally buy but it just really looked right on me.

(although how much of a fool did I feel as I had to go out and show OH before making a decision - the waiting area was PACKED )

[Zoonie 0]

I'd be a bit too.


It's handy having ED though, she can pick things off the rack, stuff I'd never give a second glance to, or just raise her eyebrows if I look at something she doesn't approve of.

The only thing we don't agree on is my hair, although I have had a lot cut off - luckily for me, her b/f agrees with me, but then he would.
He's been offered another job btw, am really pleased for him, and hope he takes it.

[Toulouse 0]

Gill, going to post an egg!!

[armellproctor 0]

hello !!

[Toulouse 0]

Wish that suit looks fab!

Ooh great news on BF's new job! I MUST get a haircut - if I happen to get wet walking the dogs (which of course I did this afternoon) I cannot see a thing and look like an Afghan (hound)

OMG - look out ....when Gill says she has a "domestic situation" it's usually bad news lately ...I hope the roof hasn't come off the house or anything !!!

[Frannie 0]

Nice!!!
You're giving me the shopping bug LOL, I want a new skirt... I have no idea why or how, but I want a skirt - I hardly wear it, but still... Very strange feeling! Going to wait until it passes or at least wait for a couple of weeks and see if I still want one then

[Toulouse 0]

Frannie, I wish I could. Only thing I can is sew on a loose button (and yet still ask Mom because she's much better)

[armellproctor 0]

i am doing well thank you , it's great to see you xoxo

OK - the 'situation;

OH is a cooking equipment freak and has been nagging for months for a Chasseur Buffet Casserole

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chasseur-3-0ltr-Cream-Serving-Casserole/dp/B0000C8RFT/ref=tag_tdp_sv_edpp_i

I just used it for the first time, the oven is no more than 200C and the knob on the lid shattered - kitchen smells of burning, but luckily the food's ok because it's covered.

[Toulouse 0]

Oh reminds me of 'Le Creuset' cooking pots, not sure if you are familiar with that?

I think y'all should give up hope on your domestic appliances...you are definitely jinxed (although you are talking to the woman who put her slow cooker dish in the over with the LID still on - the handle is plastic moulded )

That's awful, it says that shouldn't happen on the link.

[Frannie 0]

hmmm.. says it's good to 230 C... is there much difference between 200 and 230 C? (don't know and am too lazy to look it up. Is it phenolic? I hate the smell when that burns.

Hi Leo, I know, I wouldn't have put it in the oven if it wasn't resistant, or, supposedly resistant!


BG, most of our casseroles are le Crueset, this is virtually the same (OH really does have a 'thing' about this stuff, we have 2 le Crueset frying pans and 4 of their large casserole dishes; this buffet/shallow casserole is the first one we bought of that shape)

Hi Bogie
