    I do not know? why are chelsea buns so called?

    Pam I bet you spoil those kids if they are so close.

  • Ooooooh, you've scared me now, Geoff.    image image  image

    Just googled ' chelsea buns' They were created in the 18th century in Chelsea.

    Because I need one that is 6 foot long without any centre supports so that curtain will slide right across as can only put curtain at one end. For some reason one I bought is in 3. Got it from Argos so can't see before you buy.

    Means trip tomorrow to Argos again. The Plus is that I managed to drive, but getting into old habits with speed as OH pointed out as we sped around a sharp S bend!

  • Kate, I think it's good for both me and the grandkids. I tend to do the simple things with them where as their mam and dad are rushing around taking them to one activity or party after another.  

  • I have spoiled myself - well nobody else will! Got a mini packet of maltesers and a tiny Bounty bar! The trick or treaters can have the rest - and any leftovers the boys will soon polish off!

    MI5 have heard that Geoff spends his days sending cyber- messages all over the country, and even as far as Canada, and are now investigating.

    Pam those cakes look wonderful - I bet they were lots of fun to make as well.

    Have stuck the notice on front door, but will be very surprised if any kids out & about round here tonight as absolutely TORRENTIAL out there now & apparently all evening, if forecast to be believed.

    Top of airing cupboard now empty- how many towels? Now let's see what is stored around the base of the hot water cylinder- yep, I do keep a lot of junk!

    Being a Brummie- Lardy cakes better! J.

    Jo where do I get Lardy cakes in the SE?

    Lottie that is always my motto, hence the buns and I need to keep my strength upimage

    bjay I always wonder how people buy sofas from Argos without sitting in themimage

    Pam I lived very close to my grandparents as a child and have very happy memories.

    I would take those buns back Kate- Pam says they are 300 years old and past the best-before date

    OH brought me back a mini-bag of Maltesers they were giving out in the streetimage

    I would be frightened to knock on Jo's door- she will ask you to move stuff around and call it a treatimage

    I love Chelsea Buns - makes me want to make them just talking about them. Did you see Paul Hollywood making his version last week - Yumimage

    Can't have any though (sigh)

    Lardy cakes are OK but very localised i think? 

    Should have known better than go to Argos. Wouldn't usually, just wanted to save time image

    We live 3 1/2 hour drive from our Grandchild. i would so love to be involved more in her life. She is 7 weeks old. Still it'sa good excuse to not be able to baby sit!!

    Still we have one and we thought it might not happen with them (eldest son)

    Argos is in a spot of bother-they are going to stop the printed catalogue, close some stores and concentrate on online sales and tv shopping-it is a throwback to the the last century really
