I kept looking and couldn't find it ... was serving up dinner and burning my tongue on it

See you Boogs, I'm going to add you to the glossary,,, new people will wonder what on earth your name's about Hah! do something to earn some then I just wandered off to get my lasagne in the oven! Missed the start of Strictly, as my OH was bloomin well channel hopping hm... how do i do that? :tree: ? I dont have to scroll across Boogs (unsure, I have a 17" screen though)

This was mainly a thread for our opening, and then I started a daily one, I've got to get the rope around you guys *hugs*

oooh topical and possibly controversial too Lyn! (can you believe that? I thought he was the quiet type)

We will I did *groan* I know it's Pantomine season but that was a bit corny Absolutely! Loved the tango, but I wish Jade had closed her mouth LYN! Your puppy is too cool for school to be sure 8) BTW shouldn't that be HO HO HO! :dancing:

Hi Berna, Comet's a great name for a pet at this time of year Nice to meet you.

Wish, think it's fairly well cared for, depending on what comes out on Monday morning! Thanks all

Hee Hee I just abused the forum privileges just to give you a Reputation point Wish (for wanting Chris to win)

I only saw the Lindy Hop, but I thought Ricky was over marked on that one to be honest. Come on Chris!!!

Hi and Welcome to the Group Wish, how about that, Admin who listen to comments and then respond!

See you Boogs, I'm going to add you to the glossary,,, new people will wonder what on earth your name's about Hah! do something to earn some then I just wandered off to get my lasagne in the oven! Missed the start of Strictly, as my OH was bloomin well channel hopping

Cheers, glad to know I wasn't being too forward I do the same, just press send regardless. Gosh Steve you changed it already! Sorry if we sound like short sighted pensioners, but lots of us chat constantly, so it can get to be a strain if you're not used to it

What you up to Cali? I couldn't believe yesterday's fiasco..even if was a 'mistake'

Sorry was on the phone. My friend was at a carol service at the Royal Albert Hall and was ringing me for 'support' as she thought it was a bit dire! Boogs, I can't quite believe you registered as Bogie all over again Edit Mr Mayor - do I call you Mr Mayor, MM, or Steve? I want to get it right!¬ I find the dark colours hard too to be honest, but am getting used to it now. And I did notice the brighter buttons phased in today

Noooooooooooooooooo Boogs! Hi Cali. The forum reverts to pale after Christmas!

aaah good. Any links I post are informative or funny, not likely to corrupt

Well if Mr Mayor doesn't like the idea, no doubt he'll say. Lately we've had lots of donations from just a few members, but the idea really is for small donations from a lot, which I'd like to encourage. For example for a few weeks one of our friends was at hospital daily when her son was seriously, really seriously, ill, so we all rallied and kept her up to date with the TWS and more. She's also a donor to the Registry, so it's all come and go, not just take I think it's nice to be able to do that. There are spare things left over in the Registry as of now, and we either use them for competition prizes, or sell them off at just a small profit to members who might want them, and use the coins to buy the newer items again...but it's all quite flexible.

oooh Audrey - we agree *cheers! (I have to get used to not posting external links, I used to do that all the time - none of them dodgy, obviously, but to explain international differences, recipes etc.)

Keep wrapped up PInky! Too dark to see what's going on here. I'm hoping Chris and Ola win (aka Cola ) just because he had so much more to learn, and I think he's brought out a really nice side to her, that I haven't seen before. They make me smile

Glad you like it Sara. I worried a bit if it would work within the forum rules, but as it's not asking for donations, just voluntary then I figured it was ok, and that if it wasn't someone would say so

Go for it Audrey I have a V&T on the go...am also waiting for Strictly I wasn't sure whether to dress to impress in homage, but settled for T Shirt and Jeans, so as not to scare the OH (other half)

For anyone who hasn't seen our C&G Gift Registry before, I'll try and simplify how it works. The Gift Registry has been running for some time now, it's supported by regular members, for regular members only, not for people who have joined the group, but don't participate in it! If we know that a regular CeeGeean is off line for holidays/vacations; illness, or computer breakdown (not simply if they don't have time to play) then members who wish to, donate items of TWS, which are collected and then gifted from the Group as a whole, trying to ensure that no one misses the TWS items through no fault of their own. Regular members who have been absent from the game are gifted ONE of each of the TWS that we have, if we have it. As donations are entirely voluntary, sometimes stock is not available. It would be nice if most regular members could spare something, as up to now a few people are donating a lot, and it's expensive for their accounts. Repayment is not necessary, but in the spirit of friendship, a future donation is a kind thing to do.

Back, I was just on the phone. I'm another cooking bore too - love our food here. I guess another way of describing bolognaise is a ragu sauce. We make ours no less than 3 days in advance, and let it all meld together well. C&G does a lot of food chat and recipe swapping (I've made myself hungry now) notes for people who don't know yet in C&G the bar never closes (alcohol-free drinks available for the under age and non-drinkers) C&G has no naughty corner - it's just a squiggley rounded shape C&G has comfort blankies and hot chocolate for all in need

Yaaay Wish, it just didn't seem like you to be down! Hi again Audrey. I don't mind the snow, I'm just a bit nervous driving in it, and it bugs me when it brings everything to a halt. Prefer it to the floods (although we live on the side of a hill, so feel fairly safe from that) We're having lasagne, just need to assemble it. I've realised we're all chat and no gift as yet, but as soon as get my visits done (for a change) hopefully we'll sort that out and also get some competitions going too (we have a nice new sub forum for that)

Hi Sara, no more snow here, but it's freezing so ours has lasted in the South of England. It's pitch black, nearly quarter past five, and I don't know where the day has gone (well I do know I'm just not admitting it!) Back when I'm more presentable
