Linda - I'll see if I can find some Pony - I think I remember that. Do you think it will go with the Findus Crispy Pancakes followed by baked alaska I'm having for tea? NO,no - don't get me started down that route again - OH! ok - forgot to say tinned fruit cocktail on the side.
Runnybeak - I love the flying saucers too - actually it's the sherbet I like & I have been known to buy myself sherbet dabs before now (quite recently actually ). I used to eat half of it and tip the rest into water to make sherbet drink.
I'm obviously younger than you lot 'cos I've always lived in a fully plumbed house! & the washing was done in a machine (single tub with electric mangle).
We didn't have a fridge or a phone till I was teenager though. The phone was on a party-line (not jollification party - a shared line) so we always had to make sure nobody else was already on the line before we used the phone.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Ooh, spam fritters! Used to have those for school dinner... with chocolate rock to follow.
Yes, my mum always washed on a Monday too. Our mangle lived in the cellar. My big sister got into trouble for mangling her Plasticine flat... I thought it was a fab idea, but kept quiet when I saw my mum's reaction...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Topbird you were posh with baked alaska, we had to settle for arctic roll and that was only on special occasions. I remember once when I at junior school being allowed to bring a friend home for tea on my birthday and we had kunzel show boats, I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
Cherry B, Id forgotten about that, my friends sister had to have her stomach pumped after drinking 39 of them for a bet.
We had a special tea set (a wedding present to my mum in 1943 by her rich boss) it would only come out during the festive season (cant say the C word) and we used to have tea in the front room (only used on high days and holidays the rest of the time we all squashed into a small room at the back of the house next to the kitchen) I still have that tea set, 42 piece roslyn bone china in tact. In every house I've owned I've had a room decorated to match the colours. Ive also still got a couple of the pale green champagne saucers that we used to use for sparkling wine. Every time I see them it reminds me of C*******s.
These senior moments keep popping up and I'm asking a big HELP here, suggestions required please , recipes or whatever to freeze maybe?
I have just checked out the dates on 3 tubs of Philadelphia Cream cheese and I've let them go out of date by a week .I bought them on offer didn't think to check dates of use by.they are all right taste wise but can I do anything with them , then freeze for later.?
