£150 an hour for collecting waste paper!

I'd heard the streets of Hebden Bridge were paved with gold... although i never believed it... i guess the legal tender litter is a close second

I thought that - I went from being Mister Grumpy to Mister Smiley as soon as I caught up with the cake money!


If any Easter eggs are bought, they will be after-Easter eggs when the shops are dumping the old stock at bargain prices.

Incidentally, I was in Sainsbury's in Halifax after my hospital appointment on Monday and a woman at the next checkout had the biggest haul of chocolate that I have ever seen. I am talking a full-sized trolley so crammed with Easter eggs and multi packs of Snickers etc. that it wouldn't all fit! The only thing that would make sense was that she was buying treats for a whole school, old folks' home or something like that. Or maybe she had given birth to 10 or 11 children who had supplied her with 10 or 11 grandchildren each ...?

TVC buys eggs for his lads but that is it, we don't buy for each other, however we will get 1 each from work. No choice this year just Cadburys creme egg.

Ever so often you get a reward for a good dead!! said don Corleone to the Easter Bunny.

I managed to catch up with it and it is now drying out in my kitchen. That will pay my cake bill for the coming week! <snip>

Amateur!

On the hill or in the valley?

Colin, I've just come back from an Africa trip and in Zim somebody gave me a handful of these, completely unused, a few of which would have bought her a slice of fruit cake if she could have found anywhere selling cake:

A week ago I found an Iphone whilst on a ride. I phoned the last number with my phone and managed to repatriate it to its owner.
I've just come back from Lisbon where I had my phone stolen.

So conversely "no good deed goes unpunished" !!!!

Too late - it has been spent on goodies, but I will try that with my next note!

If only a fiver would keep ME in cake for a week...
And, thinking about it, when I was in Hebden Bridge last there was a little coffee shop which sold THE MOST AMAZING chocolate caramel shortbread EVER. The fiver would be gone in about twelve bites.....

 

[ColinJ]

TBH - the parkin and Bakewell tarts that I like are £1.25 a time so the £5 would only last me 4 days at one treat a day and there are 5 non-fasting days a week to treat myself in ...
