Put the sweeties away.. they keep ! Maybe you'll rediscover them in Spring and be glad. Sorry about the weight gain but don't worry about it now... thats for New Year 
. Given how hard you work, you'll work it off no?
I'm a savoury person too.. just looked in the freezer. Theres a "Tesco 60 piece American Platter" awaiting... which is fried to hell and without a vitamin in sight. *Has visions of American Stig* 
You'd think, but no... lol I could stow them away somewhere, I'd forget them. 
That sounds divine! The americans know what food should be. *nods*
If by divine you mean>>>,,, potato wedges, southern fried chicken, onion rings and garlic mushrooms Sorry to list them out... but actually I've been on a restricted diet so long, that the American platter IS divine.
Anyway... isn't now the old Saturnalia feast time... *coff* so we have an historical excuse?
*pushes the lose weighty thing to at least mid/late Jan*.
Divine! Got a wedges thing happening recently. 
Exactly! we've got ages left to feast!
My pal got me a muffin kit (silicon tray, spatula, two recipes and Nutella), I'm dying to get started, but so much food around... it doesn't seem sensible to do so.
Thats a great pressie *nods* those silicone baking thingies are great. I have twelve muffin moulds... though so far I mostly use them in the freezer to make monster ice cubes.
This would be massive ice cubes. It's six big muffin... um... indents? Since it's a tray and not cups? 
The Nutella is for inside the muffins, like a ganache filling.
Those are pudding size by the sounds of it. Is that what ganache means? Oooh all these years of choc scoffing and I never knew
Just watched James May's paper plane thing... even his charms couldn't make it interesting. One for the boys methinks 
Yeah... I didn't like the look of it. Paper planes aren't favourite.
I just got a new laptop, a Packard Bell Easynote TE. The old one finally gave up the ghost. Not sure about Windows 8 but at least I have a HD screen so I can see what everyone has been raving about.
Windows 8 looks a bit... umm... ugly. lol I hope it works better than Windows 7? I have had Blue Screen of Death... twice! 
So, what you make of HD? I'm not that impressed.
I only watched one thing [non hd] on iplayer so far, a doc about silent movie actress Clara Bow... so not sure. I could tell it was sharper but to be honest I'm always more interested in the content.
Its like when Freeview first came out... remember the change from old analogue tv to digital tv... the better image quality was exciting for a couple of days but it didn't make me enjoy it more.
How are you? Do you have a crazy New Years Eve planned... or at home with a glass[or two] of wine and party food like me?
Hope you enjoy it either way ..
Happy New Year Hitch 
Happy Hogmanay!
Tonight I have piÃąa colada, pringles and mini cheddars... There shall be Only an Excuse? (iplayer if you wish... only on bbc Scotland.) and it shall be amazing. *nods*
Only problem I've have with HD tv is that SD looks crap through a HDMI cable. SD looks fine on a HDtv if you use a scart or an ariel...
ATTENTION!
Iplayer, BBC Scotland, Scots on the Box, Neil Oliver is a panelist.
ETA: Only An excuse? contains a Neil Oliver sketch.
WAIT!!! Hitch Girl dammit I don't have the technology to deal with this as I just got a new laptop. But I do appreciate the emergency * check Neil's gorgeous hairy legs*
Happy New Year 2013 my good pal and Yes *brace yourself * ...
Iplayer! Iplayer! You have a week!
Happy New Year! *raises a glass* Slaithe!
Have drunk enough piÃąa colada to get my 5 a day.
Happy New Year Hitch.
I shall look for it on iplayer.
I got a bit sloshed on Shiraz [in a box how classy 
]for New Years but feel surprisingly ok today. Pina Colada now thats a proper drink to celebrate.
Hope you enjoyed your Hogmanay. Were you first footed?
Hope 2013 is a great year for you
Hehe hope the head is ok today?
No first footers, thankfully. Lock the doors long before midnight. *ahem* Anti-social? Me? Never!
Well I understand... we double lock the doors round my way. How is your pina colada hangover?
I never had one. Although the day after though my standard headaches made an appearance, hence the not being online. *nods*
