Last night i attended my first Women’s Institute meeting (Wootton Bassett branch) and i have to say it was ace!! There was going to be a talk on owls but the speaker is a gas man by day and there was an emergency so at the last minute a lovely lady called Madeline stepped up and created a quiz for us.
With questions such as “who wrote charge of the light brigade?” and “what is a group of crows called?” - both of which my team got right!! My team was myself and my friend Anna who came with me and a a very clever lady called Shirley, who if truth be known was kind of the brains in our team!!
Our team was named “the nerds” and nerds was right as we won!!! How good was that!!
Anna and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves so much that i have already signed up to the promises auction where i have promised to bake a choc cake for someone!! And we are also going to meeting where we are “hooking” up with the hook WI and will have an evening of tasting as they have a chef coming to cook for us… yummy!!
The Women’s Institute is not the old lady meeting that everyone thinks it is a great opportunity for a bunch of girls to get together and have fun and learn something along the way i highly recommend it!!
The next meeting we are having a lady from Marks and Spencers to talk about their underwear!!

Also a cover of a Kate Nash song that i think is ace too (after the jump) - enjoy!
So my friend (i wont mention any names to spare blushes!) had a baby a year ago and the doctors sowed her up a bit funny so she recently went in and had it all redone and the first thing she said to me was yep all done got my designer vagina! I was in stitches i hadn’t heard the term before i laughed so hard i nearly peed!!
Right I’m on to books the last thing i finished was Marvel 1602 by Neil Gaiman and winner of the quill award 2005.
Cover art for Marvel 1602
The back says:
In marvel 1602, award-winning writer Neil Gaiman presents a unique vision of the marvel universe set four hundred years in the past. Classic marvel icons such as the X-Men, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and Daredevil appear in this intriguing world of 17th century science ans sourcery.
Well that’s all i had to read before i was hooked and it didn’t let me down - I really liked it and if you’re a fan of any of the heroes that appear here you will be fascinated to find out how Gaiman placed then four hundred years previous.
Ok so for my birthday this year my wonderful boyfriend bought me House of the dead 2 and 3 for the wii!
And all i can say is w00t! it is so cool just like being in an arcade playing with your buddies after you have been bowling or something.
Its awesome and this Friday will be drunken wii party to test out its greatness in full!!
Ok so 2 weeks ago i started i start the Rosemary Conley diet and excercise plan and so far its going ok. The first week wasn’t to great as it was my birthday weekend!! so i did cheat a little on what i ate but i still lost weight be it only 1lb!!
But a pound is a pound and every bit helps right!!! so im near the end of week 2 and class is on tuesdays so we shall see how this week has gone soon enough!!
Im still feeling positive about it all so hopefully there will be a few more pounds off this week!
One of my favorite recipes from Rosemary Conley is Turkey and red pepper burgers! heres the recipe try it let me know what you think.
TURKEY AND RED PEPPER BURGERS.
serves 4
per serving 142 calories, 2.2g fat
(tho in a pinch i have made them without the basil and stock and they were still yummy!)
1) in a large mixing bowl combine the turkey, onion, garlic, red pepper, working the mix with two forks to break up the meat.
2) sprinkle the stock powder over and stir well, making sure the mixture is well combined.
3) add the basil leaves and seasonwith plenty of black pepper. using your hands mix well,and bring the mixture together. form into burger shapes, squeezing the mixture between your hands to form a tight ball and then flatten slightly.
4) cook on a hot BBQ or place under a hot grill for 10 minutes each side.
serve with salad!
i really love this recipe and so do my kids and they can be fussy about what they eat.
so let me know what you think!
