Thank you for watching, please get in touch if you have any questions or comments
My favourite snack crisps any flavour its the texture. Love seeing what you are working on beautiful colours
Thank you, I like a nice crisp too, although I'm fussy about flavours 😁
Hi Anne lovely to see you as always
I just love Bobby the Teddy he's got a really cute face .the tops you are knitting are also very nice look forward to seeing them finished take care ! ❤x
Thank you, Bobby is now dressed so I can tick him off my list of projects. It might be a while before I make any more, but I will. I hope you are keeping well? xx
It is always great to see you and hear about your knitting and activities. My favorite snack is popcorn - I mix light sea salt with light kettle corn, so I have sweet and savory. It is also great because it is not too messy and I can eat as I am knitting. Winter is slowly turning to spring, and, like you, our daffodils and hellebores are blooming, and other plants and shrubs are starting to awaken. I had lunch with some friends that I met at the wellness center, and it was delightful. We have lunch about once a month, sometimes every other, depending on life. It was great to see them and catch up since Christmas. My eye is getting better, and I have been cleared to get on a plane, so our river cruise to The Netherlands and Belgium is a go. Stephen and Penelope, here I come! Wishing you a great few weeks of no pain and lots of fun and knitting! Cheers.
Great news about the eye and the go ahead for the cruise Delores. Have you warned the wool shop of your visit?😄
I don't eat popcorn very often, I like the toffee version and have yet to try a savoury one. They are very popular over here and some sell for high prices as small companies have dreamt up all sorts of strange flavours
I love Hellebores but Tom is not keen at all so I don't have any, and I'm sulking about it. He's not good at keeping borders in the garden mind you so unless they were in a pot they'd probably get mown over, just like my Japanese anemones 🙄
Your meeting with your friends sounds fun, I met up with Penny and Maggie yesterday and we had a good natter. I go to Wonderwool with Penny which I am already thinking about. xxx
Love your Soundwave and Odette jumpers Anne! Your colour choices are perfect! Bobby is very cute too!
Thanks Linda, I be glad once the bear is finished then I can attack the jumpers again 😍 xx
Love the podcast and listening to your stories. My favourite snack is the pudding Tiramisu. Looking forward to seeing you next time, take care, Annette 😘👍
Oh yes that sounds delicious Annette🤤🤤
Hi Anne, as always it's so nice to spend time with you. Gorgeous knits and I love Bobby, he's such a cutie.
My favourite snack is probably a packet of crisps, cheese and crackers or a piece of Turkish Delight yum...
Take care lovely lady ..xx
Hello Sue, thanks for joining me 😊. I'm with you on the snacks. Any of those would do for me. I'm sort of addicted to Aldi's Sweet Chilli Jam when I have cheese and crackers xxx
Hi Anne . Bobby the bear is very sweet . Love seeing your projects x
Thank you , I'm working on the jacket now so I can say he's finished 😄
Lovely to see you again Anne. Your Sound wave is lovely. I love Bobby bear, he's got character.
My favourite snack is any chocolate coated biscuits.
Thank you for your kind commments
And what a sensible answer to the snack question Janine 😃. I also enjoy a choccy biscuit but I don't buy them regularly. I've found that Lidl do a really nice version of chocolate Hobnobs (sweet oaty biscuits if you don't have them) which I prefer to the original brand. Trouble is they don't stock them very often xxx
Lovely catching up with you, Anne! My favourite snack is salt and vinegar crisps, the stronger, the better!
The ones that scour the inside of your mouth? 😄😄 xx
Anne, your sweaters are looking beautiful, and Bobby is adorable! I loved seeing that old pic of you in the amazing peach sweater!!!! :) My favorite snack is very dark chocolate with a bit of peanut butter or a handful of nuts. :)
Hi Heather, Tom likes dark chocolate but not the very dark ones. Sounds like a delicious combination xx
Loving that Soundwave, Ann. Beautiful colors! ❤
Im loving popcorn as my go to snack!
I like popcorn but hardly ever buy any 🤔😊
@@spaknits My favorite is the movie popcorn.
Hi Anne. Both sweaters are gorgeous. Girls' best friend is a lovely pattern. Mine always gets compliments.
Square of dark chocolate as a little snack, for me.
Will be in touch for a chat. Xx
Hi Angela, the shawl is a winner isn't it? I could use the 3 skeins I was going to do the Eyelet Burst in for another version now I think about it.
Tom likes dark chocolate but I'm a milk girl myself. It means he doesn't have to share his Black Magic at Christmas 😄😄 Take care xxx
I love both of the sweaters your are working on and Bobby is so sweet. I always love seeing a new podcast from you. I hope your pain becomes more manageable over time with your new meds. My favourite snack is peanut butter and jam toasted on homemade white bread. I try not to eat it often. Cheers.
Tom often has that same snack Charlene, I like peanuts but not peanut butter, so I've never tried that combination xxx
No incoming!! Disappointment! Bobby is gorgeous and your sweaters are subtle and will look marvellous when finished. Girls Best Friend is one I need to consider and I like the lace being the same in the two sections. Thanks for showing the photo of you, what a memory remembering the cast on. My favourite snack is homemade brown bread with a lovely honey. xx
Anne and I are trying to have a no buy year re craft items, excluding our trip to Wonderwool. 😊
@@GagaKnits Yeah, me too, but still disappointing. You can always rely on Anne for showing beautiful fabric and wool 🤣
It is disappointing but I have to gird my loins and behave Penny 😄😄. By the time Wonderwool comes around I will be like a kid in a sweet shop.... xxx
Oh thats alright then. lol xx@@spaknits
Hi Anne! Good to see and hear from you again. I love your little bear--I make little critters (knit or crochet) from time to time. Congratulations on 700+ subscribers-and my favorite snack is pretzels!
Hi Ruth, I've put the wool for the teddies back in the loft until I'm in the mood to make another one. It's enjoyable but not my favourite type of knit. I've only ever had the mini crunchy pretzels in a packet we get over here. Not tried the proper bread ones. You don't find them in many places so I should keep an eye out for them. xxx
@@spaknits I have yarn to make a cute piglet-pattern by Claire Garland of dotpebblesknits-it’s adorable and I too need to be in a certain frame of mind to make these wee items!
Well you finally got your Bear Bobby done!! He's so sweet! Your shawl is so lovely today. Fingers crossed your test are all good. ❤ my favorite snack is Popcorn with White Cheddar flavour sprinkled on it, yummy 😋.
Only 8 months late with the teddy Alice, but I'm glad he's done. I will make more.
What is white cheddar flavour please? It sounds different, is it a powder? Not sure if we have anything like that here but then I haven't looked so who knows 😆😆 xx
SNACK, lol & my fav is actually popcorn! Thanks Anne, great one today.
That sounds so healthy Molly, I suppose it depends on what you put on it mind you xx
Well, that’s true, but as I am now low sodium/salt free I use a bit of no-salt butter & a lovely no salt season mix. Works out OK; not as good as tons of real butter & popcorn salt, but one must do what one can.
I have been successful in freezing venison. And many others in this area do as well. Thanks for the sharing about the pain. It always helps me. Love your knits, I think you have found a new tradition or until it stops being fun. Hope you have a good week with lots of knitting
Hello Francine, I hope you are well and keeping warm? I will be buying venison again so might buy 2 packs next time and freeze one. I'm about to pop to the local pub to meet up with Penny and Maggie for a knit and the sun is out so all good here today xx
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed having you chatting to me this evening. Not being much of a garment-knitter, I am always amazed by all the beautiful jumpers that you make! It was also lovely to meet Bobby - he has a gorgeous expression! After seeing your earlier Instagram post of Bobby-in-the-making, I thought it was about time that I tried one of the MaryJane’sTearoom patterns… so my first bear is now just waiting to be assembled… My favourite snack is hot (toasted) buttered cinnamon raisin loaf - or malt loaf with honey. Thank you, Ann, for your lovely, friendly podcasts! x
Hi Helen, I'm looking forward to seeing you bear and what you dress them in too.
I like the sound of your favourite snacks. Very warming and perfect for winter. I do like a bit of malt loaf with my butter when I do have it 😉xx
Ur knits are lovely Anne my favourite snack is oatcakes on cheese x
Hi Glenda, I hope you are well? I tried oatcakes ages ago but didn't quite take to them. Perhaps it's time to have another try as I usually like anything oaty xxx
We love watching your podcasts Anne, you're so funny 😂.... favourite snack is cheese Quavers ❤
Tom likes a cheesy Quaver as he's not really a crisp eater. I've got some Wotsits this week. You can't really knit and eat them at the same time though can you Marie 😄😄xx
@@spaknits..no you cant 😂love Wotsits too and pickled onion Monster Munch 😋
I am relatively new here and am staying because I love your sense of homour! My favorite snack depends on the day. I love ice cream for sweet. But also love potato chips (all dressed flavour) for a salty snack.
Hello Frankie, so glad you have found me. Welcome 😊
I looked up the all dressed crisps and they sound interesting. A real mix of flavours in one bag xxx
Hi Anne great podcast as always. I love Bobby he's gorgeous. My favourite snack is yogurt covered rice cakes, a bit sweet and savoury.
Oh no, I think you should have a prize for the least attractive snack in the whole world Christine 😂😂
I don't mind a rice cake if it is a caramel or chocolate chip one but generally I don't buy them unless I'm trying to be good. Which isn't very often. We put yoghurt in our lamb curry but I don't eat it any more. I used to have the flavoured ones every now and then when I was at work but never really enjoyed them as much as chocolate covered anything 😉
Bobby is now finished although his clothes look a bit big on him even though I thought I was knitting fairly tightly. Oh well, there's another bear to come at some point xxx
On dear, perhaps Bobby will grow into them! I'm thinking of knitting a bear for me as I haven't done one since my grandchildren were young. I do like chocolate chip biscuits and hobbies as well but not too many as I find them a bit sweet for me. X 😀
My favourite snack, surprisingly, is Walkers Max Paprika crisps. I say surprisingly because I have a sweet tooth. I hope one day I'll be able to eat them again .
I love that peach jumper, Anne: utterly stunning! It must have taken ages to knit that without stitch markers!
💜🧶💜🧶💜
Hi Shelly, I've not tried that flavour, Tom likes the Pringles Paprika. I do hope you can eat them again one day.
I can't remember if I wore that peach jumper very often in the end. The collar has certainly stayed with me through the years 😄 xx
Love everything you are making. You are getting so much done on your many cast ons ! The little bear is perfect 🤩 think I might try one of those. My favorite snack would be chocolate chip cookies..well anything chocolate actually.
Thanks Anne, I'm making slow progress but what to work on next is as bad as deciding on the next new cast on 🙄. I'm enjoying myself and that's what matters.
Yes I also love most things that come with chocolate in or on as snack, milk chocolate though, none of that white stuff 😄😄 xx
@@spaknits I agree 💯That white stuff is not chocolate !!
Hi Anne, lovely to see you. My favourite snack is crisps or anything savoury. I love Bobby the teddy he’s so cute. Hope you get on top of your pain. There’s nothing worse, I’m so looking forward to warmer weather just to make moving about easier. You take care Doreen xx
Hi Doreen, fingers crossed we have some warmer or at least less damp weather soon. It's pouring down here but I'm not going anywhere today so I don't mind. Does the wet weather affect you too? I also like a bag of crisps, not all the flavours though. And sometimes a crisp butty 😉xxx
@@spaknits Damp weather is the very worst for my joints.
My favorite "snack" Anne. A "Klondike" Bar. Preferably, a "Reese's Klondike Bar. PS: one of the better things about the US. Nothing like a great ice cream bar.
I had to look that up as we don't have them here as far as I know but it looks great. Tom loves a Magnum ice crem. I only tend to eat it in the hot weather 🥵🌞
Ooh forgot to say my favourite SNACK is a packet of home popped popcorn done in a tiny bit of coconut oil and a little salt
Never tried to pop my own, it sounds and looks fun 😄
Thanks for all the podcasts, love watching them 🙂 My favourite snack is apple slices with peanut butter, I can kid myself that I’m being healthy while feeling like I’m eating something vaguely naughty 🤣
Hello
I think you certainly qualify for the most healthy snack that's been listed so far and well done for that 😄. I wish I could be that well behaved 😊 xx
Ha! You haven’t seen the peanut butter to apple ratio 😁🥜🍎Does it still count as healthy if you can’t see the apple for the peanut butter? 🤣@@spaknits
@@ajcloud5214 Ok then, I get it 😂😂
My favourite snack is Curly Wurly only 98 calories but the trouble is I have to eat two at a time which of course defeats the object of eating sensibly. I am enjoying your chatty podcasts, thank you. X
I read that out to Tom and it made him laugh Lynette, 😄 I haven't had a Curly Wurly for ages. They do seem much smaller than when they first came out but then you can't find a standard chocolate bar in a supermarket any more, they all seem to be snack size and just not big enough 😂😂 xxx
Congratulations on 700+ subscribers Anne 🎉
Great podcast as always - I think alot of us can associate with the big perms of the 80s!
I'm always nibbling on something - my favourite snack at the moment is chocolate ricecakes with a juicy satsuma, cold from the fridge but also salt & vinegar crisps, nuts, grapes, Dairy Milk chocolate........ the list goes on! Hope the new meds help xx
Thanks Suzanne - it is nice to have a variety of snacks we can turn to. I'm finding I can't face big meals some days and just want something to stop me from getting hungry. Yes the new meds are helping, especially at night. xxx
Hi Anne, I love the sound wave top you are knitting , the colours are gorgeous. You made me laugh out loud with the peppercorn sauce, I dropped vegemite on my jumper this week 😂 my go to snack is mostly crisps, I love cheese and onion and sour cream pringles. Fingers crossed your new meds help, I have awful arthritis, I wake most nights due to pain in my knee and elbow, it's frustrating but we just have to get on with it. Take care, have a good week 💙
Hi Liz, I'm sure I sent you a reply but yet again UA-cam has lost it. I'm a very messy eater but not as bad as Tom, especially if it's baked beans 🙄. But he's northern and they like to make sandwiches of everything so no wonder he drops stuff down him 😄
Sorry to hear about your pain. I do hope you can find something that helps you during the night. Sleep is so important when the pain can exhaust you during the day and keep you awake at night. Having a fighting spirit also helps 👍👍xxx
Hi Anne, we’re on the train to Paddington and I’m knitting a hat while watching your podcast, I keep laughing out loud 😊 I am always snacking but my favourite snack is Pringles and a mars bar, we have sandwiches for the train journey, a big tub of Pringles and a cold drink xx
Oh wow Penny, you'll be there by the time I'm typing this. Hope you have a fab time.
I do love a sour cream and chive pringle and as they are so moreish I only get them at Christmas. xxx
My favourite snack would be prawns by choice all the way Anne… but that can be tricky so it’s NikNaks at the mo… the spicy ones 😂😂 all your knitting is GORGEOUS ❤❤ … love Bobby, I’ve knitted a couple of rabbits, bunnies … fiddly but very cute XX
oh dear Clare, I think you have the prize for the worst snack I'm afraid. But only because I really don't like prawns. Not tried a NikNak in ages.
Yes the little things look great once they are finished but so fiddly to knit and make up. I'll do a girl bear soonish xxx
Congrats on 700 subs - well deserved. Bobby is very cute - I am rubbish at stuffed toys, so I take my hat off to you.
Favourite snack? Well, assuming that chocolate is one of the major food groups, rather than a supplementary food, I would have to say crisps, Walkers "Smokey Bacon" as a preference
Have a good couple of weeks and take care xx
Hi Lesley, so sorry to hear about your Dad, it's never easy ❤
Walkers smokey bacon crisps are great but they leave me burping for hours afterwards 🤭 xx
@@spaknits Thanks Anne.
And remind me never to offer you one of my crisps!
Xx
Honey roast cashews are my snack of choice but I could list many more 😂.
Another vote for nuts, they seem very popular along with popcorn 😍xx
Oh we're all messy eaters too - thank goodness for Vanish, it gets all the marks out.
My favourite snack with my morning coffee break is one square of very dark chocolate (85%) from Lidl.
Or if we're driving somewhere and no time for a proper lunch, I have a bag of roasted and salted cashews, which keeps me going for ages. Or the perfect combination if in Starbucks, I like their peanut butter filled chocolate cases.
Keep up the good work, love your podcast.
Hello Carol, I'm terrible at spilling things down me but not as bad as Tom. I use washing up liquid on greasy splodges and Vanish on other marks and they both work really well.
I see lots of people choosing nuts as their favourite snack. There are so many options and flavours in the shops these days.
xxx
Another great episode Anne, and tsk tsk for your friends teasing you LOL! My favourite snack is cashews...so addictive I get Toffee or honey covered. That teddy is absolutely adorable! Venison can be quite lovely when cooked properly, and yes it can be frozen. I LOVE your so called wonky bags... if I win, stationary is a good replacement, no need to send yarn! Yes the package came quite quickly, I send stuff to UK and Norway untracked and it averages 2-3 weeks and saves a ton of money for sure.
I don't eat many nuts Sue, I do like them in chocolate bars mind you. Growing up we really only had them at Christmas. Mom used to slam them with a brick, talk about brute force 😄
If you win then stationery would be a good alternative as I might have a fair bit stored here, it seems to arrive when I see sales at certain websites. Don't ask me how many pens or rolls of washi tape I have 🙄
I'll definitely be using the untracked snail mail option with parcels from now on and it means things can be sent all over the world which is better when I'm offering a prize 😍
Haha yep brute force is what it is. Your stationary is a well curated collection 😅
Some lovely makes and what a super cute Bobby teddy! None of us are perfectly straight so he looks about right to me. My favourite items to snack on is fruit. I will demolish a punnet of grapes and then realise that though they are ‘good’ for you, that’s about 400 calories 😣
Thank you 😊
Fruit is something I've always struggled to eat. I do enjoy the Thompson grapes when M&S have them in. And I also love English plums and cherries when in season. But whatever quantity you eat it's still better than over processed food like crisps and chocolate bars. xxx
Hi Anne. Its great to see the numbers going up. Love your 80's 'big hair' perm that we all had and I loved perms. There were a few disasters too. Yes the pain meds are stressful for me now as our govt has decided to change the rules for pain and pain meds (pain being decided by youngish people who don't have chronic pain (yet). I have a big diagnostic procedure this wed and that's also stressful just thinking about it, and the diet days before. Hopefully I will be more positive soon. Sending hugs friend
Sorry to hear the stress you are under with your condition and pain meds Barbara. It must be so scary and worrying that you might not get the relief you need. I am on strong opioids and I know the guidelines say not to prescribe them as widely anymore here in the UK but everyone should be taken on their own merit. I hope the procedure went ok and that you are now recovering xxx
Hi Anne, Bobby is so darn cute!
I love listening to your life updates 😀
Snacks, well my go to has always been chocolate but I am trying to knock that on the head due to my weight increase. I would have to say dips, especially hummus or Tzeiki .
I look forward to your next podcast x
Hi Kellyanne
I like a sour cream and chive or salsa dip but I can't cope with hummus, even though I like chickpeas. You are doing really well if you are managing to not eat chocolate. I have a snack size supermarket's own most nights so if I gave them up it would save me a whole day's calories in a week. 😲 xxx
What a treat on a bleak winter Sunday over here in Norway. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this 😊 Your Soundwave sweater is stunning, I love the way your colours blend into one another.
You mention that you have cold feet. I highly recommend hand knitted socks, especially in DK sock yarn. These are quicker to knit than 4-ply socks (there's a super easy free pattern on Ravelry: DK Weight Vanilla Socks by Crazy Sock Lady Designs). I wear mine all through the winter, couldn't have survived without them as floors get very cold here when it's sub-zero temperatures outside 🥶
I don't knit socks myself as you know Trudi (I'm too lazy)
I get Mom and one of the lovely ladies on here to knit them for me 😄 but I do wear handknitted wool socks every day of the year.
They tested the circulation in my legs about 30 years ago and concluded that the feet were just not getting enough blood to them. I've tried wheat bags, hot water bottles, brandy (drank, not rubbed in) and some night only going to bed works. It's very annoying.
I'm definitely not moving to a colder country anytime soon xxx
Hi Anne. I love the two jumpers you are knitting. The yarn looks so soft. It's a shame we don't have more photos of our knitting from the past, but film was precious wasn't it and only tended to be used for high days and holidays. Glad the doctor is sorting your medication out. I hope the blood test comes back clear. I seem to have replaced craft supplies buying with book buying, I've ordered 3 this month! Maybe my halo's slipping a bit too. Xxx
It really was expensive to get photos developed wasn't it Anita? We are spoilt these days in comparison.
My blood tests have come back ok so that's good news.
I do love a good book and I must read another one this week. Do you use a kindle to read as well as real books ? xx
@@spaknits I've got a really old Kindle but read them on my tablet or real books. I don't mind either. I like audible sometimes but only if I like the narrator's voice. How about you? X
@@GagaKnits I tend to use my Kindle outside more in the summer when the white paper can hurt my eyes. I forget I've got prescription sunglasses 🙄.
I've listened to a few books on Borrowbox but our library doesn't seem to have much available whenever I look. But I agree, the wrong narrator can really put me off.
Which reminds me that I started listening to The Thursday Murder Club, the first Richard Osman book, narrated by Lesley Manville, a well known actress. But she read it in such a simpering voice and I couldnt carry on. I read the actual book a few months later
I might use the same question for a future giveaway 😄
It's been raining here all day and I'm now officially fed up of it ☔☔xxx
@@spaknits I enjoyed that book. I listened to an audio book narrated by Penelope Keith once, as I like her, but I couldn't listen to it. I agree the library app is quite limited. I like getting second hand books on WOB. Two arrived for me today. Looking forward to finishing work so I can go home and enjoy them. Grey and wet here too and I have to park the other side of town. 😒
My favourite snack has got to be chocolate I'm afraid 😊
I used to live in Redditch and had grandparents live near Evesham so passed Hilliers regularly but can not remember ever going inside. I love the hexagonal house on the bad bend before it though x
Hillers has expanded a lot over the years. There's even a small train over the back in the summer for the children.
I assume the house on the bend is a former toll house from the shape of it, and I'm sure it's been hit a few times which is why it has a motorway style barrier in front of it these days. I couldn't live there 😨😄
Chocolate is my favourite tand I almost panic if there's none in the house 🙄 😍
I don't want one of your wonky bags but can I have a snack Annie? 😁
After an outing I am fair the following day but the day after that is the worst. That is when the aches and pains start. As I don’t go out often it is what it is 😉I adore white rum in my coffee as a treat. Coconut rum is especially good. It is a holiday treat usually. A bottle will do 2 years as a rule lol. Does it lose anything after being open that long? I have never noticed it, if it does. Snack would be dark chocolate. It is intense so a square out of a dark chocolate bar does the trick. So pleased to hear they changed up your meds. Hope they work better. I recently was told by my doc to add acetaminophen to my other meds. Just a little extra to help time will be changing back here in Canada on March 10. Longer days means more sunshine. ☀️
It is good to know your own body Karla. You can then plan what and when you do things more safely.
I might try that coffee rum in my afternoon coffee today. You do well to make a bottle last 2 years.
I always have paracetamol (acetaminophen) with my drugs because there is evidence that it boosts the effectiveness of the opioid. Just as long as you keep an eye on how many in 24 hours and it doesn't stay in the system.
Our clocks go forward the last weekend in March. Hooray. It doesn't mean better weather mind you but let's pretend it might 😄xxx
I absolutely love the sound wave, perfect colour choice. Looking forward to seeing it. xx
Hi Anne.
I don’t know if i entered my Rug sweater or not 🤔. My memory is shocking. I am also knitting on a moby sweater so i can enter that too.
I’m v pleased you hv over 700 subs. And of course you have the quality subscribers 😝😉🤣🤣.
I’m hoping to record tomorrow. I have wanted to record for a while but each time i think i can, something crops up. Like hving grandkids. Also had a close family friend die etc. but tomorrow fingers crossed 🤞🏼.
Awe i love Bobby. He is fab 🥰. Not being perfect gives them more character but….which i like.
The girls best friend shawl is also gorgeous. I have written that one down. I fancy doing that one.
Oooo i like kraken but i haven’t tried the coffee one. Sounds yummy. I do like dark rum. 😋
Snacks …..Sweet every time for me. I’m a chocoholic, i love jelly type sweets. But the one i can’t leave alone once i start is popcorn. The sweet one. Not salty 😝. As a kids i loved nothing better than a 10p mix up. Black jacks, fruit salads etc etc. 🍬
Hope you have a good week Anne xxx
I'll have a look to see if the Rug is there Pip. And yes I certainly do have the quality gang here with me 😉. I go for chocolate over most things although I do like a crisp or pringle (usually only buy them at Christmas )
My fave things out of the big jars as a kid were pear drops or chocolate raisins even though I didn't eat dried fruit at the time. I shall look out for your next episode 😍😍 xx
My favourite snack is chocolate though I shouldn’t be eating much of it as my last blood test showed raised sugar levels in my blood.
I have my follow up appointment today Eileen and I'm not sure if I will still be getting away with eating rubbish any longer 😉 xxx
Depends on my mood, but my fav snack is probably soft white cheese(usually moz) and dill pickles. Lately my favorite chocolate bar has been dairy milk, but i havent looked to see where they are made for the US.
Congratulations on the subs, btw! 🎉🎉🎉
Hello, there seems to be a lot more dill pickles eaten in the US than over here. Although I do eat the odd pickled onion from a local firm. My friend likes a pickled egg 🤢
Unfortunately Dairy Milk has changed a lot since Kraft bought Cadbury. I think they have alterd the recipe and it now tastes slightly cheesy and there are a lot of complaints about it online. They shouldn't be messing with something that has been successful for 100 years 🙄😜
I now fancy a cheese and pickled onion butty xxx
My favorite snack is generally corn chips, however if there's an apple fritter or 2 about, I'll have that instead.
Hi Carol, I'm assuming corn chips are what we know as tortilla (Doritos are a big brand) in the UK 🤔
And I've never had an apple fritter. Would that be offered as a dessert? xxx
@@spaknits My favorite corn chips are made by Frito Lay. Not really a tortilla chip. An apple fritter is a deep-fried donut with chunks of apple and covered in a glazed icing. Great with coffee!!
@@carolroy5435 I think I could manage one of those, yummy 🤤
Bobby's ears look very good, his head is a tad too long but the rest of him is perfectly fine 😊
Are you getting back at me for putting a photo of you on here mother ?? 😄😄 xx
No incoming?! Who are you and what have you done with Anne?! 😅 Congrats on 700! 🎉 I've started watching Penn and love all her crafts and chat. Would you believe I have the same Botanical Yarn mohair? Great minds think alike 💜
I know, it's sooo hard Carol to resist all the lovely stuff I keep seeing . Pene is a great crafter isn't she. Very talented.
Fancy having the same mohair as me, you have great taste m'lady 😘 xx
hey there Anne! grand to see you as always x no incoming!??? be still my beating heart! well done - and yes! contact Zakami, just in case x gowjus Soundwave; the colours are fab-a-lushy; loving the aqua and gold, (and your Girls Best Friend shawl colours remind me of Neopolitan ice cream, lol) 715 subbies now Anne!

Hi Sal
Yes the colours in the Best Friend are very like the ice cream, I hadn't thought of that.
I am pleased to say that I've got away with it for another year and have been given a clean bill of health by nursey yesterday 😄 Of course I am on the high side of normal for both blood sugar and cholersterol but that's ok.
This dark and wet weather makes me want to eat all the chocolate but I will settle for home made chilli a bit later xxxx
My favourite snack is anything savoury - I am particularly fond of some rustic bread toasted (ie with a bit of colour on it, not all floppy and flaccid) with some butter and a piece of cheese. Though it isn’t quite complete without a bar of vegan choccy . Wonder how I got my nick name? Jinny x
Your floppy and flaccid comment is going to get me banned from UA-cam madam! 😂
Do you put the vegan chocolate on the toast or do you eat it for afters? Just wondering 😘😘
