    We had domestic science. :rotfl:

    From memory we did

    Shortbread
    Fairy cakes
    Puff pastry:eek:
    Rock buns

    I also remember learning about the kitchen triangle. Sink, cooker and fridge :o

    Can't remember much more

    Except our teacher was exceptionally glamorous:)

    I remember when we did puff pastry, my friend had to scrape it off the oven roof:eek:

    Well, the teacher did say to get plenty of air into it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    The funny thing was that that teacher told her that if she passed she (the teacher) would jump off the Eiffel Tower. Well my friend passed but the teacher did not hold up the other side of the bargain :rotfl::rotfl:

    Love the look of those coconut haystacks, absolutely adore coconut and can happily siT there and spoon the dessicated one into my mouth :rotfl::rotfl:
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    I think Miss Derby had you down to a T.

    Naughty bubbs:rotfl:

    Well I've had an hour or so down the field and prepared another couple of raised beds and had an enlightening conversation with my neighbour about rats:o

    Think I'll wash up and head out to do a bit shoplifting:)

    You do realise I'm joking when I say that don't you:rotfl:

    yes agreed, her alias is now red fox, yes naughty bubbs :rotfl:

    VC a battle of the wills:eek: BUT you got there and did it , very well done:T:T:T
    How is the no smoking coming on or have you given up?

    Yes shopping was a bit of a battle :rotfl::rotfl:, I was trying to show her that they could all eat the same ingredients and not have the same meals for example chicken kiev for the adults and chicken nuggets for the children and that using a base recipe you can make so many different meals, she was convinced she had to buy childrens food and adult food, no such thing in my book:rotfl::rotfl:

    I am still trying to convince myself to give up smoking again, talking of battle of wills I have one with myself :rotfl::rotfl:

    I thought there was to be a double up in Feb.... What are you going to do with all your points?




    Your description of his corner made me :eek:

    I would have binned it all years ago whilst he was out of the house and banned him from buying railway magazines! You must have the patience of a saint. :):):):)

    The thing is if I tackled it myself then it would just have all come back again, this way by being tough and making him do it himself then at least Ive got through to him. I said that if I tackled it then I had a big cardboard box ready and it would all go in it so he had no choice.
    He cant see any mess, completly oblivious to it and if you complain, in any way, shape or form, he takes everything as nagging or says I am being obsessive.
    We had a houseful of kids for nearly 25 years, there was never enough hours in the day to keep everything clean but now the house is ours again I want it my way :)
    The railway mags - well he still thinks they are valuble and a charity shop will get 20p each for them .... I think I might try freecycling but otherwise they are being buried to the cardboard recycling wheelie bin :)

    Ive also been tackling other areas of the house which were messy due my hoarding and stashing and nesting so only when I'd won those battles, only then could I ask Oh to sort his messes out :)
