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*
Aww sorry to hear that. Not a good start to the year
Have you been watching Chris Packham's nature programme, Its quite good.
I saw bits of it (meaning I switched off when it got to bugs *ahem*). Polar bears and Huskies were cute.
The parasites eating from the inside was pretty scary. Especially that creature that came out of the snails tentacle thing 
Yeah... Umm... kind of why I turned it off. lol
Tried to concentrate on Husky memories.
Gah!.. When my old laptop packed up I lost Game Of Thrones which I hadn't got round to watching. Is it worth seeking out? 
It is. *nods* Only issue is the"sexposition", it's tiresome. But Tyrion, Arya, Bronn and puppies (direwolves) more than make up for that.
Numpty here was late for her overtime... by two days. This forum needs a "ground opening up and swallowing you" smiley.
Aww Hitch you work hard, no need at at all to feel bad... hope you got through it.
Oh-err... I heard GOT was a bit raunchy *coff* [secretly looks forward to being scandalised]
Hehe I think the main problem is so few of the instances are catering to us girls. Ok, Kit Harrington has his shirt off once (he is rather pretty), Khal Drogo is dressed appropriately... but the rest of it is full frontal Alfie Allen and Hodor (My eyes!!! )
You have probably realised I only know two of the actor's names of that lot. lol
Oh no if 
there is going to be raunch then it should be aesthetically pleasing raunch. I take it those two aren't exactly the body beautiful .
Alfie Allen would probably be passable if his character wasn't such a whiny jerk. Some would point out that Jon Snow (yeah, I know) is whiny too, but then again 1) Kit Harrington 2) not so much a jerk. As for Hodor... he's a good guy... but, Hodor...
Anyway, this show is actually so good you can look past all that.
Here's a picture of Jon Snow with Ghost(what a pretty baby wolf!). I don't find still images ever do people justice...
Dammit it wouldnt show for me. I heard about the direwolves though
yeah, It went dodgy on this end too. It was all pretty yesterday.
Anyway... it's better to watch the show. You can't screengrab and get the same effect as the moving imagine. (unless you can make a gif, which I can't. )
I have windows 8 to get to grips with so pretty much everything is going wrong for me a.t.m. 
Why did they have to change it, just as I was getting used to the old Windows [shakes fist]
They are trying to make it all funky and smart phone like. It looks kind of awkward.
As long as it doesn't experience Blue Screen of Death, your good. I'm up to 3 this year, think it's a certain program though, which is due an upgrade. *nods*
Uh-oh thats bad about BSOD. Wonder whats causing it...hope the upgrade will help.
Everytime it's happened I've been running the pixies... Just the last 3 times.
How have you been keeping?
Um...I'm doing ok thanks. Have a new nurse coming to see me next Tues. Haven't really got into the New Year yet... y'know, getting on with resolutions and all that.
*Looks guiltily at exercise bike*
Ah... resolutions... I was going to try and be more positive... *ahem*
Great, let's hope this nurse is a vast improvement. *nods*
Yes that's pretty much my resolution too. And to focus on solving problems rather than wallowing in them
Thanks lets hope she's an improvement
How;s it going for you? I'm not very good at it.
