..to tinge every celebratory day with sadness? Can't we just be allowed to be happy?

I'm all for sympathy for individuals when sad things happen in posters' lives, but why introduce misery to everything? hmm

So did I wot !!

Because you had cake instead and plenty of it, so turn it ingrin

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 23:04:57

I had no chocolate. Why did I have no chocolate?

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 22:44:08

No, I don't believe you but I don't like to upset people inadvertently. If that makes sense.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 22:28:44

Oh God. She'll profess to believe me now. hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 22:28:07

You should be worried. wot. You'se a wicked girl. shock

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 22:26:54

I knew what cavola Nero was. I don't wander the aisles of Waitsore for nothing. hmm Buggered if I'd pay that money for a few shrivelled looking leaves.

Have I been contentious?? I really didn't mean to be. Now I'm worried.

annsixty Sun 06-Mar-16 22:03:21

It doesn't, I was trying to distract the contentious way the thread was going, and I wasn't the first to do so.

It's actually cavolo nero (black cabbage), also known as Tuscan cabbage. I suspect that this has little to do with this thread, which I haven't read much of, but it seems to have wandered into vegetables.

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 21:37:03

Yes, I saw the food thread and realised it Cavello is a veg! I really thought it was a wine!

annsixty Sun 06-Mar-16 21:31:34

I am the Cavelo Nero girl and it was surprisingly nice. The guinea pigs must do without.
Just trying to lighten the mood and lessen the tension?

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 20:42:08

I knew "Midwife" would be depressing.

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 20:14:36

Yum yum!!

grannylyn65 Sun 06-Mar-16 20:10:50

Have no cake and have eaten all chocolate truffles ☹️

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 20:07:21

No, honestly, the cake is lovely. Pink is my favourite colour

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 20:05:37

Sister Monica Joans, I meant.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 20:05:32

It was a gel. Never used one before. Bit heavy handed! grin

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 20:02:32

Love the Cochineal!

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 20:02:05

It looks lovely! Don't say you're crap at icing!

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 19:54:22

You still here wot? I made this cake, then DD bought another one. (I am crap at icing cakes)

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 19:51:55

Oh I was waiting for some nice person to make that oh so clever remark. No booze partaken of. Sorry to disappoint. hmm

granjura Sun 06-Mar-16 19:48:16

Flipping Nora- I thought you said you didn't drink jingl?

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 19:43:32

I love that old girl with the Alzheimer's. She,s so clever!

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 19:42:08

I didn't like the Midwife prog where the nun got attacked. But unnecessary that. hmm
