  • Shezza-Hope you feel better soon and are able to make the weetabix cake tomorrow.

    Mandy-moo-1-Its probably the sleep deprivation thats getting to you and making you feel down. Hope you get a better night tonight. Treat yourself to a nice bath and relaxation time if you can. Who knows you might have a fantastic cooking day tomorrow and don't beat yourself up if you don't.
    We all love you on here, you're a great part of our team.

    I'm not sure if you are behaving yourselves... Surely he's not on the MS menu?
    But he does look delicious.

    Hi all,

    Have been to my 'naughty girl' speed awareness training day today - very enlightening but very boring at the same time IYKWIM. It did make me think, which is the point I suppose, but it's not exactly an exiting subject is it! I won't go into politics about it, as I know EVERYONE on here has an opinion on speeding and I don't want to upset or offend anyone.

    I m sorry to say you have offended me ,your belittling your punishment for a crime that kills and a crime that left my mum with a broken back and neck for the last 13 years .Im guessing your quite young because your immaturity shines through on this subject.I read every single post on this thread though i don t post to often.
    Change of subject thanks again angel nikki for the cheese buscuit recipie ,made a double batch today and we've eaten halve already .Other halve hidden for flamingoland tomorrow lol.
    Annelouise could you please post your recipie for the homemade alioli i love this when in spain but never made it before .
    hugs where apt .
    Sorry to hear your news mrs m hope your back with us soon .
    Life is short, smile while you still have teeth :D
  • Mandy-moo-1-Have a lovely, relaxing bath and let me know how you are tomorrow..SFT

    to post a pic click on the button that looks like this 2646549613_4693294634_o.jpg then when the box pops up that says enter the url of your image, paste in the url/link

    but please dont post pics that are too big as lots of people dont have broadband and struggle opening the thread if its full of images.

    pink princess I agree with you - you dont get sent to a speed awareness thing unless you've been caught a few times do you? I'm glad it made you think about it denise

    (((Hugs))) mandy_moo_1 :grouphug:

    I've got a copy of that book with the long title---"How to feed your whole family a healthy, balanced diet...."etc---from the library today. Thought it best to have a squizz before paying out, but didn't realise that I had to pay 50p to reserve a copy:mad: I've quite a list odf books to check out, so might go shnozzing around Waterstones or summat instead...:rolleyes: ...but then I'd end up paying a fortune for the car-park...hmmph...this mse-ing can give you a headache!

    Try booking it online - you don't pay then! HLH...
