If you didn't get it, please let me know and I'll re-send. I'm sure I sent it to the correct email address; you're my only real subscriber, apart from my family! <br /><br />It's good to be a Womble! And a bluebird monitor - sounds like a very rewarding activity. I'll try to branch out from diet posts and maybe do one on nature (sure to be rife with personal embarrassments).

I, too, have a Worthy Cause planned for today: meeting with our county's wildlife conservancy to learn about being a bluebird box monitor. <br /><br />You made me laugh about Squeaky too. My excuse is it's barely 6am and I haven't had coffee yet! My husband seems mildly amused by Wee Squeaky (and sort of pitying about the level of amusement I get out of her!).

(I just made myself laugh, how sad). <br />Please send me details of the Swank Diet!! I don't mind cooking two meals, I seem to be running a round-the-clock cafe as it is. Must try something as still haven't lost the steroid weight-gain. <br /><br />I'm so anti-social at the moment I don't seem to be inviting anyone to my house, but candlelight is always a good look. I have a lovely little old cottage and would be very atmospheric. Could invite our resident ghost to join us!<br /><br />I am getting ready to volunteer at the charity shop today, hoping to pick up some bargains.

Very entertaining to pose her in front of my cooking experiments. With any luck, she won't drop into a hot pan or the oven. Cat-astrophe! (Get it?!)<br /><br />Oh, Swank dieting is a treat! But it purports to work wonders on MS patients. I'll be happy to email you information on it if you'd like. (It's actually pretty good, if you can live without red meat, chocolate, and cheese.) The Teenager might not be so fond of it, though, so there's the whole cooking-two-different-meals aspect to consider...<br /><br />All that was missing from the dinner was an impromptu Harlem Shuffle or the Cone-Boobs Madonna Dance!Ms. CrankyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13639705108258882767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-34392390454186429552013-02-22T14:12:14.161-05:002013-02-22T14:12:14.161-05:00Hey there,

I can't remember the last time I held one and I now use my dining table as a lovely big desk. <br />I think if I ever had a dinner party again I would do what the middle-class English do - have a 'supper' party instead. Posh. <br />Anyway, welcome return of Wee Squeaky. Just makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. I was actually at IKEA when your email came through and I got some very odd looks from people as I scrolled through the post on my phone. <br />Must look into all this Swanky diet thing, sounds most intriguing, but don't know how I would fare on it...<br />XStumbling In Flatshttp://www.stumblinginflats.comnoreply@blogger.com
