How many Grandads do we have?

pompa - Are you feeling brighter? I do hope so.

Gramps, you won't need a key, just the password, but you must keep it secret. "I come bearing cake" upon which you will be admitted.

pompa - just to let you know that I've been investigating the U3A in my area. I should receive the paperwork for it within the next couple of days. (Can't remember the thread on which you told me about it)!

Re. Shed.
I've not got in it yet. I understand though, that like the Tardis, it expands expotentially!
I was sent a key, but it vapourised after falling into my porage - gave my porage a funny taste too!

Anybody got a spare? []

mu DH goes to woodturning - his meeting is tonight! AGM I think

Many years ago I seriously overcooked a bread pudding....it was rock solid. OG drilled a hole through it, attached a line and weight and used it as a slab of floating groundbait when we went fishing.

I don"t use my breadmaker anymore because I used to love the bread so much we would eat, and eat and put on weight

I like the bread pudding idea for bread scraps, gramps! I needed an idea like that as we no longer have the chickens who used to eat all our scraps. They ate the bread but they were especially friendly if I went out with meat scraps or fat, and as for grated cheese, well, they'd sell their souls for that .

There you are! They're self-sufficient!

I make all our bread using a bread maker!
I have my own recipe for seedy bread .. Sometimes I cheat and buy pkt. of Chiabatta.
I save all the"bits" in the freezer until there is a pound , then- - Bread puddin'!
We take it to our Dance Club , where it is devouref voraciously!

Anyone want to swap recipes?

See you in the shed lads!!

Anagram, don't be mean to us, you know you make far better cakes than most of us. I can manage rock cakes and quite enjoy making bread, but usually I'm too lazy.

absent never mind the bread pudding for the grandpa's I Love It please leave me a slice.

Love ! Bread Pudding ! those two words are interchangeable - missed my afternoon coffee and cake today, spent too long looking for a pair of shoes for Mrs. P. by the time we had finished (minus any shoes) they were shut.

Woodturning club tonight, so tea with a biscuit will have to suffice.

Why are we giving the granddads cakes anyway? Are they all helpless old codgers who can't fend for themselves, or are we slipping into stereotype mode?

pompa I don't think granddads are really going through an unpopular period. Grandmas, in general, are very happy that you're here, I think. It's just that we really don't want to have to keep telling you that we love you.

Thinking about the shed – I make very unreliable cakes, but can do mean bread pudding every time. Does this work for granddads as well as grandchildren?

Waiting for another couple of weeks before planting any tender plants out. need to start sowing cubits in greenhouse over the next few days. But, as we usually do, we have arranged to go away for 2/3 weeks just at the most critical time in the garden.

Haven't been to the shed for ages, great to see some new Granddads!

Off now to get some plants in before the next downpour, but I'll leave this slab of bread pudding behind. It's still warm.

Hi Gramps, we need all the support we can get, us Granddads are going through an unpopular period atm. Come on over to the shed. Safer there.

I am waiting for the extreme views with interest! I love a good debate. Of course, the views might be extreme in the same direction as my own, which will still be good because I will have another supporter!

I'm also a slow, one finger typist with a degree in mistakes! Also ,a crazy sense of humour!

I'm an 80 tr. old Granddad ,with 5 Grandchildren. Eldest (boy) at Lancaster uni, doing physics degree. Yungest (girl) 16 and apple of my eye dopng her A levels. Good results so far. She has diabetes and coeliac disease. As large as life though!!

I do pottery, sing in Church Choir and amongst other things, help in primary School with reading!
Am I qualified to join the Grandads?

Ding ding, your bus has arrived (late as usual!)

Ask away and I'll try to answer but i have a very small brain

Welcome grandadR, DavidH22 and fatherbear

Welcome fatherbear hope you will come to the gransnet party. I have just invited myself with a cake, I have also offered to be the one man band so I'm afraid that role is taken. Unless they decide to hold auditions of course
