Hi Rosie!"

Fear is a terrible motivator Elle.

Did someone mention Pancakes???

Have I ever told you how much I LOVE pancakes???

[Philip (sarah)]

1 or 4 Rosie and will that be with lemon or warmed maple syrup? Sit here on the big cosy chair and tell me all about yourself, don't be shy,I won't tell a soul!

I love making random flavoured pancakes and giving them to people thinking they are normal :D

[Jud]

I added food colouring once to my pancake mix and had pink pancakes :o)

[Elle]

I like pink strawberry pancakes. mmm. my favourite in the summer.

[Elle]

.... I will have ALL YOUR STRAWBERRIES.


I eat about 2 boxes of them a week in the Summer. NOM.

[Alison]

I used to know someone who came out in a rash if she ate strawberries. Problem was, she loved strawberries.
So, once every summer, she'd book a Monday and Tuesday off work and buy a huge punnet of the loveliest strawberries after work on the preceding Friday. She'd scoff the lot and the rash would have died down by the time she had to come back to work on the Wednesday ;-)

[Elle]

Haha Alison. I do this with Ice Cream. I only ever eat it if I am positive I have the day after to recover.

And I really will Karl. I do love strawberries..mmm.

[Lorraine]

I'm the contrary, I'd eat strawberries to the point of getting urticaria, yet strawberry flavoured stuff is eek, especially when it's not actually made with strawbies!

[Elle]

Haha. I shouldn't laugh. Someone I went to school with hated to touch Bananas...

Meat gives me the heebie jeebies when I touch it so I use gloves *odd*

I am the exact opposite!

And so is Lorraine I see. Why is it when you get multipacks of anything, there is ALWAYS a strawberry flavoured one????

[Lorraine]

The worst for me has to be calpol... Just the smell of it makes me gag, how on earth they actually expect kids to take that stuff is beyond me !

[Alison]

Louise-Lesley (Elle) wrote: "Haha Alison. I do this with Ice Cream. I only ever eat it if I am positive I have the day after to recover..."

LOL
I'm not brave enough to eat something that'd make me poorly.
A gastronomic wus*, I'm afraid ;-)

(*not sure of the spelling there)

[Elle]

When I was a kid I drank a whole bottle of calpol when my Mother turned her head. I still use it when I get a cold now *giant baby*

And Alison, I have too many types of food that upset my stomach to avoid them all so sometimes I just have to take the cramps.

[Jud]

I love everything strawberry flavoured whether real strawberries or fake. YUM YUM can't get enough

[Alison]

Bad times, Elle ;-(

Hi Fiona, I'm new too and still finding my way round.

Hi Misha, we can find our way round together!

[Jud]

I don't like coffee

[Patti (baconater)]

*snatches Jud's coffee and drinks it herself*

If you need any help finding your way around, just sing out. We're all happy to help.

[Jud]

That's fine I have a bottle of Tesco's finest sugar free kick in the fridge.

Hi Misha! I'm DeeDee, I don't think we've met. Welcome to the group!

[Jud]

Forget that Laura I'm taking mine to Heaven with me. I'll have eternity to catch up on my TBR list

[Patti (baconater)]

I'm with Jud on that. Hiya Laura!

Hi Laura, welcome to the general madness!!!

[Kath]

Hi Laura - being addicted to the forum doesn't help with reducing TBR lists!

[Lorraine]

Hi Laura and welcome !

[Ainetheon]

I am getting addicted too. Almost 300 books on Kindle and every day I am checking out (or is that in?) the forum. Hectic day and still no dishes done. Oh well, there is always this evening :)

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Hi Laura, and welcome.

[Elle]

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

*imagine more i's*

[Pauline]

Hi - I'm new here too and trying to find my way around. It's so nice to "meet" such "normal" people who realise it okay to fill your Kindle up with books it'll take ages to get through. Rather than put up with crazies who think you have to read a book before you buy another one!!!!

Hello Lina! I'm DeeDee, welcome to are little corner of normalcy!!!

[Emma]

Welcome Pauline. Here have a hot beverage of your choice and tell us a bit about you. I am sure D.d will be around soon to ask you some random questions too!!
"normal" is not a word usual associated with us but we'll take it xx

[Elle]

haha. normal.

I'm the only normal one here as you saw at the start of the thread.

*nods*

Hug?

[Pauline]

Hi Emma, I'll have tea thanks and you all sound like my type of normal!!!!. I'm an avid book reader and used to have hundreds of books cluttering up the house until I got my Kindle. Actually I got a sony first - before you could get Kindles in the UK but as soon as you could I was front of the queue.

[Emma]

Here you go - a lovely cuppa.
Yeah gotta love the Kindle for de-cluttering! I do find however that I missed having a bookcase so I have started to scour charity shops for books I have really enjoyed and I order the paperback versions (if available) of my Indie Author friends whose work I have enjoyed - I love having the bookcase as a talking point for recommending etc.
You'll love this forum but don't expect your TBR pile to go down!! So many recommendations!!

[Patti (baconater)]

Hiya Pauline!

Yeah, we're a 'type' of normal, all right.

Friend of mine had a Sony. She gave it to her son after she got her kindle. He then promptly e-bayed it. ;)

[Pauline]

Slurpppp - lovely!!!
I do still have one bookcase, for books I couldn't part with and some I haven't gotten around to reading yet!!! Also - I'm learning to play the piano - lots more books in the piano music genre, so I've got loads of them. I don't think they'd be too good on the Kindle!!!!

[Pauline]

Patti - my OH borrows my Sony. I suppose I could let him keep it but I'm very possessive about my gadgets. Since I've had an iPhone I've my OH borrow my iPod touch!!!! He can use them but they're MINE!!!!

[Jud]

I was looking at a kobo reader at Gatwick while I was there and I was surprised how slow the page turning was. I don't know if that is cause it was a display model or not but It didn't incline me towards the kobo's much. (Was just being nosy would never cheat on my kindle that way)

[Patti (baconater)]

Wow, you actually found a working display model, Jud? All I found over the holiday were empty display boxes and I couldn't be bothered to ask to see one.

I know the feeling, Pauline. I get all twitchy when Dave wants to use my iPad. I bought him his own kindle the day he said he'd just 'share' mine. No way!

[Jud]

Yes there was one in Gatwick airport WHSmith and on in the WHSmith bit in Harrods

[Patti (baconater)]

Only display boxes at smiths at Bristol and Heathrow airports.
I avoided Harrods at Heathrow again. Last time I spent money there I bought loads of stuff for my mom. When I gave it to her she asked 'what's a Harrod's?'
Makes sense really. Not a store one shops at in Canada....
