I realise it is very hard for lonely people but speaking purely for myself, I would rather we were all safe than the thought of never seeing them again. I do see my family as I am in their child care bubble but they don’t come to the house at the same time. We will be adhering to the rules but not all mixing together at the same time. During the first lockdown, I didn’t t see any for a month or so as so we were all safe.

I agree with Yodama. We are sending money to poor countries with rich rulers. There is a lot of poverty here in UK that could be alleviated by spending more to help here.

I e watched the series and love a lo of the recipes. Fingers crossed.

Close Your Eyes and I’ll Kiss You. Always reminds me of when my husband and I were courting. He was posted to Belize and this was popular at the time.

Hi Catlady. I am and have been vegetarian for many years. It came on gradually with the exclusion of veal when I heard how they didn’t allow the.animals to move so the meat stayed light. Then I saw a program about fish on trawlers flapping about on the decks, all being loaded on top of each other but alive. So fish came next. (I’m not averse to the catching of fish on a single line if killed immediately). Beef and pork next when I heard what they inject into the animals before being slaughtered (do we really want these things in our bodies) and last came chickens in their crammed chicken sheds kept in appealing conditions. I buy organic meat for my husband and I try to buy organic free range eggs for both of us. I do watch cooking program as am not an adventurous cook (limited by hub who just likes plain meals) and have forayed into some vegan foods after a friend ate only this to help with a serious disease which appeared to work. However, I would call myself vegetarian purely because I just don’t like the idea of chewing the meat. I can’t bear the thought of ducks being force fed for pâté. I watched a program The Scran Van where he made a vegan cheese sauce which aroused my curiosity. Hence my vegetarian story from my 30’s to my now 70’s.

During lockdown I have been taking more interest in my garden (weather permitting) and this voucher will help immensely. Fingers crossed.

I’m hoping to win this for my son and his partner. She is a community nurse working for the NHS.

Have trimmed my layers into a choppy style (by design ) and my husband goes round the bottom for me. Messing about in the garden suits this style!

Witchcraft is my all time favourite followed by Nancy with the Laughing Face.

Just in time I hope.

With Spring round the corner this prize will be a great help. Fingers crossed.

Very smart and handy set for travelling. Hoping for success so fingers crossed.

Hub or son would like this prize so fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed. Love their shoes. So comfortable.

I feel 18 would be a more suitable age.

I’m sorry but I’ve lost interest in Strictly. I enjoyed it in the beginning but not now.

Not for me I’m afraid and wouldn’t even consider ‘the High Street’ for anything other than shopping.

Think I really need this. Fingers crossed.

Great prize. Fingers crossed.

As I look after my little grandchildren for a couple of days here and there, I do adhere to my daughters requests regarding food. Another of their grandmothers I’m afraid does not and is always giving chocolate and cake which upsets the parents. She has been asked to stop but doesn’t take any notice even though she is very overweight. We can all say that it didn’t do us any harm but often it’s the parents fault. I see toddlers in pushchairs with a sausage roll or bun in their mouths. Surely we all have a responsibility to make sure future generations are as healthy as possible.

Hopefully looking forward to my toastie toes and fingers.

Whether you agree with her or not she has got the job of negotiating the Brexit talks plus the general running of the country. For goodness sake let her get on with it. All this negative criticism will surely only damage the negotiations. I am sure she is doing her best for the country as a whole.

Is having an award for the most influential black woman raciest? I have not heard of an award for the most influential white woman.

I agree ecarg.

I’m afraid I am losing interest in Strictly Come Dancing. It has lost something for me and not just Bruce Forsyth. If it becomes same sex dancing I will not be watching at all.

My thoughts as well

This sounds great. I usually just mash avo with lemon juice & black pepper. Your way will be a nice change.

They ha e a good reputation so hoping for a nice comfy pair.

Just found the above through your link. Great to always get different ideas. Being a vegetarian I shall look for these recipes specifically, especially cooking for one!

I recorded and watched the EU Debate with two MP's for and two against. One thing that the Green Party MP said was that we can still trade with other countries outside the EU. However, if my memory serves me correctly, New Zealand lamb disappeared from our shops when we joined as we were not allowed to trade with them.

An interesting course coming up on FutureLearn - Towards Brexit.

This looks really nice. Will have to try it.

Lovely comfortable shoes. I would like a new pair please!

Hi. What are your thoughts on high protein/low carb pasta? As I'm a vegetarian (not vegan - I just don't like chewing meat) I wondered if this was a good or bad food. I bought some recently.

Witchcraft is a favourite but there are many. In The Wee Small Hours, My Way to name a couple more.

I usually buy two tins - one Quality Strret and one other to get a good mixture.

These look really nice. I'm going to give them a try this weekend. Will they freeze when baked?

Fingers and toes PLUS eyes crossed for me

Just joined! Hello all. Fingers crossed.
