Mrs B

Too many connections here too. And I'm only Wondering whether I would recognise you in "real" life from your RMFs!

Aw George, please don't worry your Mummy. Is giving out the recipe illegal? I know there's some courgettes in the dogs' veggie box - I'm sure they wouldn't miss one or two. Hope it wasn't the prawn thawing that put you off?

Anyone know if you can get a refundy payment-y thing if you're without electricity for so many hours or something? My lovely across the road elderly neighbours (who coincidentally think that Tigger is fab, therefore they must be fab, not that I'm biased) have been without elecs all day. And I know they won't have a clue if they can claim anything. I just have a feeling they might be able to - and if they can, they're worth every penny.

..... and being on sick leave, so can get back from lunch (inc. wine) at 4.30 pm. Been an accident in the village though - car/pedestrian - hoping it's not serious/no-one I know. Will have to pop to the fount of all knowledge in the morning (the village pet shop) to find out. Arrived home to find that Daisy had re-sized the contents of the tissue box on the coffee table - into gerbil sized tissues.

I'm sure I just posted a post in this thread ...... and I've disappeared it. Must have been the glass of wine I had at lunch. Errrmmmm. Will probably be shot by some food guru, but if you put your prawn in a sieve, and tip over a miniscule amount of boiled water, they start to defrost extremely rapidly. But don't tell the food police.

Sparkle, you're never norty - 'cept when you're threatening to pocket Tigger ......... which is definite cruelty to the poor little man ............ he's far to big even for YOUR pocket. No, I'm ...... off, 'cause I've just gone in the fridge and there's no bottle of wine there. Before you think I've gone Friday barking mad, my ex-door neighbour is coming round shortly to take me to her new house for lunch - which she moved to, oh, about three months ago, and, I haven't so much as made her a cake yet so really wanted to treat her (us?)! Just before you all think I'm the laziest something out ........ our wine is kept upstairs in the top of a cupboard, and (as Sparkle knows) I'm not able to be active at the moment, can't do ladders, reach up, crouch down, lift ...... (something to do with my foot being under reconstruction) so have to rely on OH to do certain things - like get the wine out! Unfortunately, my moan is further heightened 'cause he's omitted to do a few other things that I can't do for myself (no pot of tea for me this afternoon either ). And I need him to take me shopping for clothes urgently, but can't get him to agree to go. And I've just got a catalogue in desperation ("occasion" two weeks tomorrow) which assumes that everyone is at least 5'6" tall, and has a classic Englishwoman's figure. As I almost certain need a trouser suit or something, dog proof, this is not helping me. AND, OH hasn't been shopping for shoelaces for me, so the one pair of trainers I'm supposed to be wearing, I can't 'cause one lace is broke, and all the other laces in the house are flat not round and won't go through the holes. But I'm having lunch made for me ......... And I love him really!

Want to have a mutter ........ better not .......... better behave like a good little Newbie and wait until I have posted a thousand times before I disgrace myself.

No comparison! It's like asking us to choose between jam and marmalade! HAS to be Marmite. Vegemite just occupies precious Marmite storing space, while you wonder how to use it up. Surprised no-one's brought Bovril into any of these discussions yet or have I missed it?

Hi Tricia I noticed the other day that you'd joined - was waiting for the chance to say "helloooo" to you. I'm a newbie here myself - still trying to find my way around and being daunted by them all! Mrs B (more usually recognised by reference to my four pawed friends, Tigger and Daisy!)

I've told you before, you're just jealous! Mrs B is currently considering planning a telly appearance for Sarah of Wiccaweys ...... Revenge could be sooooooo sweet.

D'you know, a Newbie around here could end up with a real complex. Not to mention having folks build up quite a picture of me and my er ........

Hee, hee. Took you long enough to find me. Perhaps I should have used an alias - like Margaret! Tigger says .......... I lurve my Auntie Sarah and Uncle Paul.

Well, if I post a picture of Mr B, he comes with a Tigger attached ....

Hello, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to wait to be introduced, or whether I can introduce myself - if I'm told off after my first post, I'll know I've well and truly misbehaved. No doubt you are far more interested in the other member of the family. So here they are. First meet Tigger. Tigger is a Wiccaweys boy, who came to us 15 months ago. Something of a challenge to start with, he has turned into a wonderful loving little man. And now meet Daisy, a happy-go-lucky little girl who came to live with us earlier this year. And here's a picture of the two of them together for good measure. We live in Lincolnshire - with Mr B. (Do we require a picture of him too?) And it's all Sparkle's fault that I'm here. Margaret
