Good morning from cloudy old Wellington. Thanks for breakfast...much needed. Don't know what is up for today but I'm sure it will be good. I just bought 50 eight inch zips from eBay in assorted colours for less than $25. I am happy. They came recommended by an English lady who uses them all the time. Less than half the New Zealand price...and that's jfrom the emporium! Yay!!have a grrrreat day!

Try this with your zips . . . so cute

Ooooh...me likee! Thank you Judy. It is bookmarked on my ipad for future use.
Dilli sitting in the fridge? You'll know if she's in there...there will be loose threads in the butter!
We have had the tastiest risotto ever. Dd made fish stock with the flounder bones and put prawns and spinach and peas in it . Man it was good. She has made caramel sauce to go with the chocolate fondants...also home made...so eat your hearts out you lot!
Grizz...jumbobon is a mixture of a shortened version of my Christian name and what I am known by to my grandies!
Waikenae had better brace itself. Have the local cops been warned?

38811

Sounds fishy to us coalie. Probably sitting at his plaice, poor lonely sole, prawning for company, feeling crabby, gutted! Meanwhile we are having a whale of a time...10 on a scale of 1-10. Maybe he is talking to Finn!

jumbobon - 2012-12-29 20:51:00

Great to read that you are all having fun, except Dilli of course she is sitting in the fridge. Still warm here and I can't find my mojo to do any stitching, so I am back inside with my feet up as they are still playing up, back to the quack with those on Monday morning.

Been down at the lagoon trying to find flounder. So far only found one car body, fifteen Council rubbish bags, a missing person (cold case) and a dead cow. Nothing particularly fishy. Muttley.

Oh twi, oliebollen, yummy, I will be making them in a few days, but will make them outside so the house doesn't smell for days of oliebollen.
You have a great time with Coallie, Waikanae better be prepared for the both of you. Wonder if Jumbo is tracking home via Waikanae tomorrow, then we better warn Waikanae.

Good evening Skippie. Yes must be vigilant about what's being posted while DW is absent, visiting Cinderella and her ugly sister.. I have a reputation to uphold. Muttley

To be honest, I didn't take much notice of the zips. Just reset it hoping I'd have better luck with flounder when I return in the morning. You raise a point though, what are all these zips for? I'm feeling a bir concerned.

jumbobon - 2012-12-29 22:30:00
38822

And so you should ! I would just zip it if I were you muttley! And just BTW it might be a good idea if you watch what you do on here! Remember how you got me kicked off tm once before. In short... Sling your hook buster!!?

We are home! I was going to toot toot ta toot toot as we went past skippie's house but granny was in front of us doing about 15kph and I thought it might scare her off the road! She was heading towards Havelock North and should probably arrive early tomorrow morning. It's all of 5 km after all.
All well?
