I agree with all the sentiments.

I have been very ill recently and it has taken me ages just to get up and walking again. In mid-January for the first time in three months I managed to get out...

Good luck with the saving. This is a lovely thing to do for your husband. I am doing something similar.

I have been very ill recently and for three months my husband has looked after me,...

Well spotted. I snuck in from over the other side of the Pennines and they haven't noticed yet. I actually don't like ginger so I don't like parkin. Next time you are in Yorkshire try the curd...

...and the best thing is we all get a day off work for the wedding.

If you like the Royals there is a great book by my favourite author Alan Bennett. It is called The Uncommon Reader and it is...

I am good at both parallel and car park parking thank you. Sorry, bad joke.

I never cook parkin. I was traumitized at school when someone cooked one in the cookery lesson and managed to...

Sorry about the Google errror - never thought about that. I found a link for you that has some more info.

I have already posted to Gregg, but actually we don't really have Mormons in the UK which is why I didn't really get the joke.

Ah! I am with you now. Sorry, I just didn't get the joke!

I am so sorry, but I know there is a joke in there somewhere, but I don't get it. I think it is a US / UK difference thingy. If you explain it to me I promise to laugh in my next post. ;)

If you are travelling through Yorkshire at any time then I am happy to sample any of your wares. I don't mind really...not it is not a problem at all.

We use an alarm clock as we need to get up for work in the morning and make sure we are not late. I would probably be OK without one as I am up early anyway, but my husband would not be. He sleeps...

You must have quite tall ceilings (I think I remember you saying that you liked in an old house so this would make sense). We thought about putting one in, but as I am 5' 8" and my husband about 6'...

Hello,

No it is from an old advert that was on the tv in the uk about prespex baths when they first came out in the late 70s early 80s. Only me and my eldest sister can remember the song and...

I have been trying to get my husband to do this to my compost bin, but he has not taken me up on the offer yet.

There is a serious gardening programme on the radio over here in the UK and they...

I was once away from home. I was speaking to my husband on the phone and he was telling me that lots of ants got into the house and he had hoovered them up! He did also spray with raid (well laid...

You made me start thinking about how long I have had my pans for. I can remember where I bought them from and where I was living which gives me a rough date. I have had some of the pans for over 15...

Like puglogic I have also started to bake on Sundays as I have more time as not at work.

I forgot to say earlier that I also bake a lot of my own bread too. We have been very good at not...

We used to own one, but sadly it died. It was a beautiful old wooden one originally owned by my gran. It was the nearest thing to a family heirloom that we had.

However, we used to also own a...

It is now getting very expensive this side of the water. It is about £1.30 a litre and set to rise. This is about $2.10 for 1/3 of a US gallon (so about $6.30 for a US gallon). We live in the...

I have stainless steel pans and would never go back to non-stick ones. I have had mine years and years. We used to save up when we were much younger and poorer and buy a pan every few months until...

I'll join in for this month. I already cook most of our meals anyway, but I have been trying to make all of our own bread. I usually bake some and buy some. So for the rest of this month I will...

I remember when I was younger my mother used to have a baking day once a week. She would make apple pies, crumbles and cakes and the smell and taste was amazing.

We eat really well with lots of...

We used to live across the road from an organic butchers. I am a vegi, but my husband is not. Whenever we bought his meat we both noticed that the quality of the meat was so much better than in...

I grew this for the first time last year and everything was fine. I started off the seeds in modules and then transplanted into the ground. It pretty much looked after itself after this. I didn't...

Great idea with the rain guttering. I also agree with growing carrots in containers I tried this too and it doesn't work. However, if you have large enough containers potatoes do quite well and not...
