    Morning ladies,

    Well I'm sat at work looking out the window at the big black cloud above. I'm glad i didnt put my washing out this morning. Well I finish at 5.00pm today and should hopefully go home to a cooked meal :D or so he says LOL.

    Tomorrow if its nice we're going strawberry picking so hopefully i'll be able to make some jam ( I hope its as easy as you say it is).

    Decided I'm going to get a flask today too so I dont have to keep boiling the kettle.
    I'm trying so hard to be thrifty, but it doesn't come naturally. You lot are an inspiration!

    Bake,chill and freeze uniced works best.

    You can ice when still partly frozen and transport carefully to venue or try Twinks hobnobs they are always a hit.....
