Gissi is so funny when he re-arranges his cushions and pillows! He is a very individual little fellow, for sure, but he makes you laugh Gabs, and that's the main thing, and is so good for you. I hate to think how you'd be if he wasn't there, he is your constant and faithful companion, a real little treasure (in spite of his bad days when he drives you crazy!) lol![em]whistle[/em]

abbey19 responded to a discussion called Homemade gravy, jarred, or canned? in cooking.
1 week ago
I have always made my own gravy (taught to me by my mother), and I would NEVER use anything shop bought - it just doesn't have the taste of home-made. I always save the stock from any meat I cook, and freeze it for later use (this is the basis of a really tasty gravy). Any fat from the juices solidifies and sets on top of the stock and I always remove most of this before I use the stock undern...

Awww - he looks cute! What kind of lizard is he? Living in Australia, we get lots of lizards here, some small - and some huge! Some of the smaller ones come inside our homes and eat any mosquitos, etc., so I don't mind them at all. In fact, we have a resident gecko which lives behind the air conditioner - we call him Chuchchuck because of the noise he makes! He is about 6 inches long. We also ...

I hardly ever miss breakfast. I consider it important to begin the day with some food in your stomach, as it starts the metabolism working right away, and that is a good thing - especially if you are on a diet. My breakfasts vary - I have eggs three to four times a week either poached, scrambled or boiled, with toast and coffee. On Sunday morning we always have a full cooked breakfast consis...

[em]sad[/em]I know exactly how you feel about being homesick. I am from the UK, but emigrated to Australia twenty years ago, and as much as I love it here, I often get homesick for the UK. Yes, Australia has great weather (sometimes too hot though), wonderful clean, sandy beaches - and the most unique flora and fauna in the world, but in spite of it all, my heart often yearns for the UK. Ho...

I think eloouuu's comment says it all, because that's exactly how I look at MyLot too. She certainly deserves a BR from you! I don't start many of my own discussions these days because of other commitments, but I try to reply to most of my friends' discussions, as and when I can. That keeps me quite busy - and yes, I do enjoy reading my friends' discussions. I believe in quality, not quantity.

abbey19 responded to a discussion called Which do you prefer Home & Away, Neighbours or both? in tv.

Habit is the word! I have watched these two shows since they started and although I like both of them, if I had to choose, it would be Home & Away. It seems to have better story lines than Neighbours, and hold my interest longer.
