Why do people with flabby middle bits insist on wearing tops and bottoms that don't join up, thus exposing their unsightly middle bits?
And it doesn't matter the reason for the flab - it is unsightly!
Maybe it just has a mind of it's own and escapes the confines of clothing all by itself. I never have that problem as it's usually secured by some very heavy duty underwear.

Better to run in the cold, she'll heat up with the running and won't over heat due to the cold. Best of luck to her 
Mr C is sitting going through maths exam paper with the boy. I knew one of the answers and it didn't matter how high I put my hand in the air I didn't get asked

I think we're gonna paint our paper mache bowls this morning. The fun just goes on and on
Well done young Aims!
Well done little Aims
Soozy I used to love doing paper mache stuff. In fact I might do some at home for my own amusement.
ION I've just bought these to go on the walls at either end of my dining table.
I slept for 13 hours last night 
Went to be at 10.30 last night and woke this morning at 11.30 thinking the kids must have been knackered to have slept til this time. No, they had gone downstairs to get their trick or treat bags and were in their beds watching TV eating crap!!
I'm starving. I'm gonna make toasted sesame bagel with scrambled egg and bacon *drools*
I just had a chicken and stuffing sandwich. Rather tasty
I bought Samphire yesterday. No idea what to do with it but it was at the fish counter and was cheap
I bought some last week Cagney, put it in the bin yesterday
Hows the little one settling in?
Aww I'm stuffed
Is it acceptable to go to the post office dressed as a chav? I'm in trackie bottoms and a hoody but I don't want to get dressed properly It's the only thing I have to go out for today!
Ells of course it is, just make sure no-one you know sees you.
We've just had the dogs to the groomers this morning. Poor Angus is now sitting here in the office shivering, he's shivering so much his teeth are chattering. Poor baby
Awwwww - I found this today whilst singing songs with my Jack - it's one of his (and my) faves. It really does have the cute factor.

Samphire is a sea vegetable that grows abundantly on shorelines, in marshy shallows and on salty mudflats. It has a crisp texture and tastes of the sea.
Buyer's guide
Good fishmongers will sell samphire. Otherwise, try looking for it at your local farmers' market.
Preparation
Wash samphire thoroughly under running water before use. Don't add salt to the cooking water as it's already salty enough. Use fresh in salads or serve it boiled and dipped in melted butter to be eaten like asparagus with fish dishes.
Though there are two types of samphire - marsh and rock - only marsh samphire is widely available. Marsh samphire has vibrant green stalks, similar to baby asparagus, with a distinctively crisp and salty taste. It can be used raw in salad, though it tends to be very salty so it is more often boiled or steamed for a few minutes. Rock samphire has a rather unpleasant smell and flavour. Occasionally you may also find jars of pickled samphire in gourmet shops.
Availibility
Samphire is at is best in July and August.
Choose the best
Buy bright, fresh looking plants with no signs of wilting.
Prepare it
Wash thoroughly under cold running water before eating.
Store it
Buy samphire as you need it - it doesn't keep for long. If you must, tightly wrap and refrigerate for not longer than a few days.
Cook it
Steam over a pan of boiling water for a couple of minutes and serve with melted butter.
Jamie's 15 minute meals..... yeah, sure...
and whilst I'm sure they taste nice - they all look like someone's dropped their dinner on the floor.
AND - he never uses plates - everything is served on 'boards' How long before they're selling 'boards' in Argos with his name all over them.
AND - you need a food processor. Cook for 15 minutes. Spend half an hour clearing up.
that is all.

we also have it cold and soaked in seasoned vinegar
it can also be pickled and stored in jars like onions and cabbage etc

I love samphire and I think I prefer it lightly blanched but served like a salad leaf.
OK, whoever you are, please stop.....
...it's enough to put me off my Jamie's 15 minute dinners

It's a new one on me too, Cinds.
I don't quite know what to say really, apart from the fact that I'm glad my lenses are tinted and that it's fortunate there were no hand signals.
