The cookbook is going on my Christmas list.

Thanks for the company, Pengy. See you at 8.30am sharp, if not before.

Won't be able to join you today as I have a hospital appointment, and I am PB minding on Wednesday so I won't be back until Thursday.

I'm at uni so wont' be here either - will put my musings up later - see you Wednesday those that make it 

Hiya ...anyone here?

Just me then..I will muse away ....

Coffee makers in the rooms inspire negative comments...envy is one of the deadly sins innit?

Cannot bear the Flowerpot 

feeling lonely on here...so see you later

Got that wrong, love the Flowerpot, can't stand the woman(who I thought was called flowerpot) who is called Pat , and her awful husband and the posh woman....not a fan of the women either....so that just leaves tonights men who I like

Sorry you were on your own, Amythist.

My musings for FIAB:

It's Simon and Pierre from The Flower Pot. Prices are up to £109 per night.

We have extras, such as bathrobes, fluffy towels, designer toiletries and a coffee machine. (I'd prefer a kettle and teapot!)

I didn't realise Kelly and Linda were mother and daughter, I thought they were sisters. Room looks nice and is priced at £95 per night.

I get the impression that Nigel might be picky. Room looks nice, again at £95 per night.

Oh dear, Nigel has found some dust behind the radiator.

Jo not happy about having the heating on.

Men getting a bit competitive at the "real tennis". Nigel won.

I like the free standing bath in Jo's ensuite. I'd never let a film crew in when I was in the bath!

Pat thinks the step is a hazard - open your eyes, woman!

Nice to know Jo's kids are so high on her list of priorities that they pip the business to the post - but only just!

Do not lie on top of the bed with your shoes on! Well, not in my house anyway.

Silly of Simon to opt to do the cooking. Why not let the usual chef do it?

The runny eggs aren't runny, she'll mark him down for that.

Scores of 7 for cleanliness from Nigel and the two women seemed harsh. Kelly and Linda are going to be tactical markers/payers, imo.

Kelly (or is it Linda) suggesting Jo is lying tomorrow!

CDWM :

Harry's turn tonight.

Stuffed tomatoes for starter. Quite a simple starter but it sounds tasty.

Beef in Hunter sauce sounds nice. I could eat the main.

Floating islands for dessert. Okay but not to everyone's taste.

Oops, bit of a disaster with first lot of custard but pulled it back with the second attempt.

At least he is cooking from scratch.

Nancy seems to hold a grudge. She really hated that Harry thought she was four years older than she actually is.

Harry has lost quite a bit of weight since he last wore that jacket. 

He weighed 11lbs 1oz at birth!!!! What a whopper!

What was that I said about cooking from scratch?! He is using microwave rice.

Looks like nobody realised about the rice.

Amanda is going to be a tactical marker. She is in it to win it, but hasn't a hope.

Harry walked out halfway through a date and left the girl to pick up the bill. What a gent!

Hahaha, Chris was a (rather chaste) escort for his auntie's agency in the 70's. 

They all seemed to be having a laugh at the "entertainment" and there was a good atmosphere during the evening.

I knew Amanda would score low.

He scored 29, so at least he has beaten Amanda.

Musings over. 

Evening all Sorry I've not been around .....Still no news ......and doubt I will make it again tomorrow either ....but will be back chewing the fat asap kiss: 

I saw your post in the Darnies.

Take care Baz and hope you have some good news soon. 

you're daughter is more important 

FIAB musings:

Ahhh it's Pierre's night tonight bon nuit and all that 

looks like Pierre upsets Nige's woman   will that be tomorrow?

rooms look lovely - kind of on an Edwardian type theme which I like 

Manor house 

So Simon has 4 places   no wonder he has managers but that means the place is a reflection on the manager rather than Simon 

errr iz your bedrooooom 

attention to detail my backside - he's picky to be tactical grrr

Jo on the phone to the hotel 10/15 times a day   I couldn't work for her because she has no trust and sounds like a control freak 

trust Nigel to have a complaint about the facilities  and he's found dust down the back of the radiator 

indoor tennis - they used to have one of those courts here in Brum but it's gone now    

I really don't like Jo 

trust Nige to win 

flipping heck - lamb on the menu - Jesus seriously do English people eat nothing else? 

she interviewed 2 members of staff in the maternity ward having just had a baby   think her b&b is more important than her kids 

don't like the Mr & Mrs mugs - what if you're not married or a same sex couple?

brekkie's look nice and the continental bit looked marvellous too 

fingerprints down the walls - could he find nothing else 

dangerous step?  what's the bint on about????

Wonder if Nige and Pat will underpay everyone?

it's a little 'ard mark   step is dangerous if your blind 

ooo looks like the girls are more tactical than the rest 

CDWM musings 

like Harry's kitchen   him not so much 

stuffed tomatoes   he's half Hungarian his mum is from Hungarian   think he meant Hungary 

Nice says Chris 

Tracey has had so much work done she's like a wax work dummy 

bird's milk???   custard doh!!  it's like floating islands - îles flottantes???

yuk the custard has well and truly curdled 

what's hunter's sauce??? *googles*  oh it's sweet and sour 

I am impressed he's done his meal from scratch mind 

nice to see he dressed for dinner 

11.1 lb baby  must be his Hungarian genes 

one tomato?  Really!  he's sure feeding them up 

get in Nancy - nice repost to his quip about your age yesterday 

he's microwaving rice   will he get away with it? 

Chris was an escort 

For when the rot sets in - anti ageing balm   I love Nancy 

why would you want to do sports after you've just ate two courses?

they get one dumpling - Jeebus he's the last of the big spenders 

oooo they don't like the custard 

the two old bats were a bit low with their scoring and I still don't like Harry 

Well I'm here - I know Baz and Yogi can't make it but I'm happy to talk to myself if Amythist can't make it 

gawd it's Jo's night tonight 

HiPengy

hiya 

Oooo love the look of that room and reasonably priced too 

This is a hotel, not a B&B

it's been extended a lot so yes I think it's more of a hotel than b & B 

Yep, it looks good...but jellussness will be huge

I want to slap Nige with a brick and his bint Pat with a slimy fish 

Nigel is probably a crap chef...what do they say, those that can, do, those that can't, teach

you can bet on that 

 they are a pair waiting for fish and bricks

How desperate are the boys to find dust to justify downmarking #lightfittings you'd have thought that the B & B owners would know to make sure the shower traps are clean 

ewww who runs their finger round a toilet rim without a glove on 

Sorry Baz..don't know whats happening with you, but wishing you all the best

missed that, who did the disgusting deed

one of the mother and daughter lot - they've just confirmed that they are being tactical mentioning the money 

 and their place wasnt that great was it?

my computer won't recognise my mouse so I'm using a trackball and I hate it grrrrrrrrr  

nope a bit cheap and tacky and not very clean over despite their protestations 

oh dear..haven't a clue what that is

Great story from Jo....a thousand others live on the streets from similar risks, but hey 

you move the ball not the mouse 

Pat on the other hand reminds me of the inadvisable cross between a warthog and a mastiff

OMG....terrifying...good luck

Kelly is being a pain in the backside   not that I like Jo mind 

Kelly is an utter cah...smug face on her 

bacon issues oh dear oh dear what a sad lot they are
