We are having a quiz night at 2pm today because one of the family lives in America...
I’m hopeless at quizzes but hoping since my knees been bad so pre lockdown that all my watching of tenable, tipping point and The Chase might stand me in good stead 😊
Did anyone watch beat the chasers all last week I really enjoyed that very exciting 🤗

Yes we enjoyed it too
I actually liked the fact they had some professional quizzers on that had history with some of the chasers. Although they didn’t do so well did they as all seemed to go for all 5 chasers. Mr TS said it’s not the money to them but the buzz if they managed to beat them all.

Yes but it was mainly the people that wasn't professional quizzers that beat them as a rule, the last lady on was fantastic and they key to it was if you got one wrong not to panic , i would have been panicking 😂

Yes that’s what I noticed a few joe public, well one was a doctor! Went for 3 chasers and got good sum of money, think I saw about £20,000 won at least couple times like that.
I reckon they saved the show with that lady for last on purpose she really kept her cool and it paid off. I was on the edge of my seat. 🤣
I saw a couple at least win on Beat the Chasers, also a good sum of money won on Tenable one day this week, which is rare indeed.
I think they have been playing repeats of Tenable as I’m the sad person who has seen them before, so not watched it this week, I caught beginning of couple but recognised the players. 🙁

Good morning all, cloudy here, had a bit of drizzle earlier.
Hope it is OK first thing tomorrow, we have a very early job to take down an overhead cable so tree surgeons can get in and prune a tree, then we have to go back and put it back up.
TM i wouldn't be ashamed you wanna see me little dollop of ice cream i had last night 🤣😂😋😋 This is complete syn free on SW as it's made with ff greek yoghurt and a handful of berries, i don't usually have a big pile like this but bought a new ice cream maker (very expensive!!) as my other one broke and use the same amount of yoghurt and this whips it better
That Looks sooooo good Is it a proper ice cream maker that does everything including freeze it? Would love one of those but struggle to justify the cost!

Do wish they would start the new series of Eggheads, love that one.
We have watched 4 of them, just need to catch up on Thursday's. We have been watching Devs, very interesting and certainly creates the opportunity for discussion.

TM, how bust was it when you went? I went about 3pm and the queue was just reaching the corner. I do not think going later would make any difference, as they were putting stuff out while I was there too, so think it goes on all day. I did get a free box of innocent smoothies though, and as many eccles cakes as I could carry.

Interesting article on the BBC re how global travel may look like ahead of a vaccine
How does an Italian beach holiday sound? Well, you could find yourself weaving between tall sheets of plexiglass used to separate sun loungers as you look for a shady spot in the sand.
While restaurants are looking at spreading tables more sparsely, one Portuguese hotel chain, Vila Gale, said it had been "stocking up on hand sanitisers" and "drawing up a la carte menus to replace buffets".
Nikolaos Sipsas, a professor of medicine in Athens, agrees that buffet meals are a big risk, along with pools, bars and beaches.
"I see Greek beaches being sparsely populated, in other words there will be bathers, but they won't be close to each other. We will not see the phenomenon of organised beaches with towels right next to each other," he say
Annoyed with Wish and their "up to 50% off", spent ages finding something I wanted, thought it would be worth it even with the £10 delivery, all they offered was 10$ off so simply left it there.

Have to say I am rather glad we went on holiday as late as we did. That said, we were glad we had managed Phuket before the tidal wave, Kenya before the riots, Egypt before the uprisings, Cuba we just missed the highly unusual hurricane. But I say this now, this lot was NOT our fault
What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

I read about plexiglass couple weeks back. Can’t believe that would be a serious idea. 😱
I do think buffets are going to be a thing of the past for quite a while which ever part of the world you live or holiday in. Wonder how Toby carvery will adjust.

ive just found out you can change the background to where you are sitting. We have a " Skype" first thing in the morning and I might just put myself o a beach or up a mountain or something.
anyone know how to do it?
We use Teams all of the time at work as it is much better than Skype when you have more people attending. We only have set backgrounds to choose from - think they have disabled us from adding our own backgrounds to stop us being unprofessional.
A quick google will point you to the folder you have to put your own backgrounds into for teams, wasn't locked down for us (yet). Teams is not as good as zoom at cutting round the person.

If you do let me know i will share my tips
I got one last year when I could not find my Kenwood one which was £5 in a Tesco sale
If you like to share your tips on the slimming thread or here I will be grateful
I will not however be making ice cream any time soon I am still playing freezer tetris and I decanted a shelf full to DS Meals take up so much more space than a packet of mince
I saw my two youngest grandchildren today. It is my granddaughter's ninth birthday. I asked her (from a two metre distance), if she was having a lovely birthday. She said yes but for three things. One, I can't hug you, two, the Coronavirus hasn't gone away and three, I didn't get a live unicorn. At least I was number one.
Bless her MKS. Glad she was able to have some sort of celebration. Not sure how I would have coped so close without the hugs. I’m missing my 2 so so much.
Horrible, isn't it? Facetime etc just isn't the same.

Tips are : 1 Make sure you freeze the inners for at least 24 hrs before you use it, use it wash it up and straight back in otherwise you have just really cold yoghurt! 2 Make sure you turn it on BEFORE you put yoghurt in otherwise it is just a solid lump and the paddle won't go round 3 Don't think you can make a load out of yoghurt and freeze it, you can't! It goes into a solid brick and you cannot get it out of the tub 😂😂 Voice of experience with all of these 4 It needs sweetening really i use jordads skinny syrup or you could use sweetener 5 I add frozen berries to mine sometimes, but you could add whatever you want i guess

Altho this could be a good thing as the resorts I have been to in the last few years have gone all inclusive and it has killed the local restaurant trade...

Good morning all, ice cream looks yummy bubbs. As to ice cream makers, I have wanted one for so long that didnt need the bowl to be prefrozen as there isnt an inch of room in the freezer, so when I had a good offer on ebay last year I bought one, but it takes so much space in my tiny kitchen that I have used it twice only as it takes forever to work. Result is its mostly an ornament now that the novelty has worn off. Will be trying your yoghurt one though when the weather is warmer, here it seems to be winter again.

Hi bubbs, from memory I think it took about an hour, but had to put it on top of workspace which we are very short of here so it didn't seem worth it in the end.

Yes mine has to be out and i don't have much space where there is a socket 🙄
Yes, very annoying but not alone. Even TCB and Q are at it now with up to £X cashback for deals, despite that not being available for what it states. For example CPW on Q with up to £100 on handsets and SIMs - the maximum for a sim is £40. Very misleading.

Thought all this was stopped years ago. Reminds me of the old Teletext holidays that used to come up on the screen. Never got what was advertised. Once I got so annoyed I tried to force them to tell me as to what holiday that was advertised. Where was it ? When departure etc etc. They put the phone down on me. Just remembered something here......Asda does this at the end of their aisles. It states from !!
On a similar theme it's like those offers in Tesco where it says 10p or something and then in small print per cup 🙄
Ive just eaten 175g bag of Walkers Cheese & Onion. Only 1000 calories
Plenty of time left in the day to walk that off! Maybe not. I can easily do the same and it doesn’t help just buying smaller packs does it, just have to open more.
