    I have posted this early so everyone gets to see it.

    Just to let you know Thursday and Friday the tables won’t be up till maybe a bit after 6.30pm as I am out all day but for the Saturday finale I will be there giving you updates throughout the day.

    Remember folks it is meant to be fun and the battle for the cakes is FAR more important than the TRF winner kudos :yahoo: :yahoo:

    Good Luck :good: :good:

    Are we betting on who wins the cakes?

    Thanks for running, this. I’ll be propping up the table, as usual, as my reserves go in at 33-1!

    Same here Raymo totally useless at this competition, but being such a competitive person wouldn’t miss it for the World although I’ll be spending most of the time behind the sofa.
    Big thanks to you both for doing this again.. 🌟🧲🏇 Jac

    Wild dogs couldn’t keep me away Raymo, as long as they were very old,
    and had no teeth…..and were vegan.
