Thanks for the recipe Vivienne. I will try that - it will make a change from Spag Bol and Shepherds Pie (or should that be Cottage Pie?) Suzy

Hi Deanna, when my children were small I had enough minced beef recipes to have something diferent every day. It was a reasonable price then. Vivienne xx

Thats the recipe for Meatloaf alright. Made it many times when my children were little. Did not realise it was American. Most Nations have their own 'cheap' meal recipes don't they? Deanna X

Christine I say close the curtains, but my OH says draw the curtains and it really niggles me. If someone asks me for the right time I feel like telling them I have only got the wrong time - not plucked up the courage to do it yet - might get a clip for been cheeky lol Joanne

hi teri, you got one aswell. ruddy pain isnt it. thing is he complained because the girl next to him was having her washing machine on all day making a noise. LOL. what goes around eh.. jean

Why do we ask someone ' Have you got the right time please?' How many would have the wrong time anyway? also Why is the main light in the middle of the living room called - The big light ' Put the big light on' And do you close the curtains at night or draw your curtains at night? Joanne

Jean I didn't know know you lived near me !! lol!

Why does the jerk up the road keep employing young secretaries, when he KNOWS he isn't going to pay them ?. How come he's getting a way with it 9 months later ? Ansa's on a postcard please ..........

why does the pillock a couple of doors from me have to rev his motorbike again and again in his garage during the summer. jean

Elaine - I don't know, I'd love to know. Does he hang around somewhere? Is he/she always shrouded?

American Meat Loaf, as per my ancient OXO book 1 lb any lean stewing beef/ minced 1 1/2 oz fresh breadcrumbs or rolled oats 1 level tsp salt 1 level tsp pepper 1 sm onion 1/4 level tsp ground mace or nutmeg 4 to 8 tbs milk or stock chopped fresh or dried herbs to taste chopped garlic fat/ oil for cooking fry the onion & mix all the ingredients together, adding enough liquid to bind it together. Either shape into a loaf on a baking tray or put into a loaf tin & bake for approx. one hour. Vivienne xx

Is the sheep male Joy ........ it sometimes makes a difference ? Men don't always like there true identities known .....

I only saw it off that bloke on channel 4 with word origins one morning. That's the extent of me noggin

........... why does a sheep wear a covered talon ? ...............

How did they find out what food, such as vegatables and fruit, were edible and not poison. Come on clever Dan. Shirley Ann.
