You can put me down for a full English please Oscar. 
What are we doing about food on Saturday night (or have I missed something).

nothing special, just Bacon, Sausage, egg, beans, cobs (rolls or baps in old English) Tea / Coffee 
Any special needs? (tough if it ain't on the menu it ain't getting cooked!) 
Obviously we will need to make a small charge to cover the cost of the food, and I need to know numbers so I get out tomorrow and buy the stuff.
please advise ASAP

For a Damselfly that was only first found in the UK in 1999 its spread up from the South coast has been astounding. 
I took this at Priory Water yesterday afternoon with a compact camera from a distance of about 18 inches!, at the moment they are perching very close to shore allowing you to get very close and get some brilliant images, just a pity this one had a leg missing!!

You'll find out soon enough | I could cope with an egg and bacon or 'banjo' roll in the morning?
I found a fantastic ice cream shop near to the site I have been working on this week... and that has already blown my diet wayyyy out of the water so a cheeky F+C supper and banjo breakfast can't do taht much more damage!!  |

I made the BIG mistake of buying a bag of jam doughnuts today. We'll blow the diets this weekend. I need cheering up right now.

It's the story of a guy on the night shift in the local bakery who doesn't put jam in the jam donuts, and the series of events leading from this misdemeanour. Very funny it is.
