right thats it, i'm going to win the show!

Ignore that, I didn't read your post properly?

?

it was mintspies and she's not telling!! i did make some raspberry jam the other day and it was a bit too set. i thought about taking some round to her house to lull her into a false sense on security?

If you can not win then CHEAT.buy some jam or chutney from somewhere and pass it off as your own.

<sharp intake of breath> but the vicar will be there ?

Tell the vicar you have worked so hard over the past few months to find/make the perfect chutney,then you are not lying then look forward to winning because of your waitrose chutney lol

I want to come and eat your wares. I promise not to do it until after you've won though. When is the fete? Does MS know she has a rival?

tickle you are very naughty!

Hi CdL, you are more than welcome to come ans sample the produce, yes MS knows!! she is coming to play on wed as well. how are you?

Oooh, are we playing on Weds? Or is that when you're all going out in the evening? Actually, I have mw in the am and a funeral in the pm so day is crap for me too. Why does everything fall on the same day, I have nothing planned for the rest of the sodding week (um, except for perhaps having a baby but I doubt it).

Waaah - I had no idea that my rivals would stoop so low! ?

This village show is serious business, not least because of the army of a thousand grannies that always win every category, so any tips will be gratefully received by CE (and copied slavishly by me!! Mua-ha-ha!)

oh no ive been rumbled!!

seriously though MS you have made a good point about the competitive old folk, what if they find out where i live! they would kill me if they found out i was using shop bought stuff. plus i bet you would grass me up to someone on the commitee?. thats a point actually, what happens if you are sleeping with a commitee member.......

i have just made some loganberry jam, looks good, tastes good, too sloppy and all the seeds have floated boooo hiissssss floater jam.

Nothing at all to add, but I love your username! Used to play Chuckie Egg on the (showing my age now) ZX Spectrum!

Wow a zx spectrum, you were posh! i had a dragon 64

? Not really - it was held together with insulation tape, accompanied by a phillips tape recorder that took 1/2 hour to load any game (if you were lucky!)

beeeebeeeebbeeeeeebeeeeeebeeebebebeeeeeeeeb

just a taste of what it used to be like ?
