JoyLouise, you would be a very welcome gran to my two. I had the most wonderful in-laws who stayed young for all their lives. Hubby and I are 50-somethings and we are daft. The football team mates of our daughter seem to think we are both nutters because we aren't afraid to make idiots of ourselves (in a nice way). Daughter doesn't mind at all. She rather appreciates that her parents do stuff that others don't ie don't hide that they love each other and laugh and smile and joke a lot. One day we shall have to grow up and be adults but intend to avoid it for as long as possible. Your grandchildren will always remember how you play with them and will love you all the more for it. xJ

As I've got older I've discovered that I'll really eat anything. I'd never choose calimari from a menu but I've eaten it when I've been to someone's for a meal.

However, I love it that I'm also one of those disgraceful grandmas who run around with young grandchildren playing hide-and-seek etc while the other two grandmothers are always sedate!

I'll have to stop it soon as I'll be an embarrassment to the kids!

i love camping its like an adventure, but only for the night or 2 no longer and not for a holiday haha,

Sigh!

I'm hungry :-(

With you on that one AnninGlos :-)

Zzzz yes, camping, my OH always said my idea of camping was a 3 star hotel!!

Having never really been able to understand why anybody would have their ears pierced I certainly can't begin to coprehend any other piercings or tatoos,

my daughter think's Im mad, cos I love custard on lemon merangue pie.

I agree Zzzzzz to me a holiday is a luxury treat, you save hard for 2 weeks of bliss after slaving away for the other 50 weeks a year. Sleeping in a tent isnt in my mind a treat.

Sking is a buzz thing its lovely,

dont like puddings,,,,be it milk , chocolate or sponges or pastry are a .no no.......or even made with bread and milk,,,,,,,yuk...

baby dolls......yep thats weird and not normal........imo.

how can anyone eat pancakes is beyond me,,,,,,yorkshires and gravy but -sweet horrible .

Another one for me is, camping holiday, one word cancels the other one out, and why have a week or 2 sleeping in canvas or other thin material.

I agree with that, ZZzzz, not my idea of a holiday at all.

Can't understand why so many women enjoy playing tennis either. I can think of far more interesting ways to get exercise.

Love bread n butter pudding though :-D

For me it is skiing, for the life of me I cannot understand my people want to put lots of layers ON for a holiday, get a lift up a ski slope then slide down on 2 long bits of metal.

I love french martinis <3

oh i love bread and butter pudding with custard(but dont eat it now because im always on a diet)
smoke and drink wine.

cant understand how people can eat liver,macdonalds and milkshake yuk(hate milk).
I can understand to a certain extent, why people take drugs,but couldnt imagine myself ever getting to the point where i would try them.
cant understand why some woman have 8,10 even 12 children?madness.
and whats going on with woman who play with dolls?care for them like baby"s and spend thousands of pounds on them. ? :-) :-)

I love bread & butter pud with clotted cream - and lots of it!

I must confess there wasn't much I didn't enjoy about my school dinners.

Mince, dumplings, those flat square mince pies (especially the middle portions) with lashings of gravy and on Fridays baked fish with buttery mash - and all with vegetables of course.

Tapioca (frogspawn), and lovely semolina with rosehip syrup, Friday's ginger or chocolate puds with white sauce -

bring them all back!

oh see iv smoked so cant really comment on that altho iv been packed in since last july :-D :-D :-D :-D

one for me is drugs, especially hard drugs, i mean, we all know what they do to our bodys, why would people "try" them, knowing what the outcome would be :-\

i love amboria sago cold with sugar on it
but cant find anywhere thats sells it for years now
its like all the sagos vanished off this planet

Bread and butter pudding and custard , especially the skin, are delicacies in their own right. They gain nothing in combination. The eggs in the pudding make it custardy anyway.

You can't buy sago as such in english shops but I think it is available under another name in Asian shops.

My grandfather had a milk pudding every day of his life and, whatever it was made of, rice,macaroni, tapioca, he always called it a rice pie so, of course that is what we call it now.

t seems you can't buy flaked rice anymore.

I love bread & butter pudding, especially the one my sister in law makes with marmalade & whiskey.
I also love any type of milk pudding & porridge & suet puddings, although the waistline won´t allow them these days.
My dad always had custard on his pudding, no matter what it was & he was also very partial to ice cream with Cornish clotted cream on it & had cream & custard on his Christmas pudding.
No wonder he had coronary artery disease.
