Nice one.... I had a cuppa tea with my partner, seen a new client and been over to Snaggles' thread to throw happy smileys around, and now its going to be a Stargate evening - DVD'ing 2 episodes I haven't got, and the 2nd DVD movie is on tv tonight for the first time, so I'll be glued to the tv all evening, except for Waitrose pesto, of course..... I like the sound of fairy cakes tho.2023: the year I get to buy a car0

Ended up being fairy cakes and rock cakes instead of muffins
Tonight will hopefully be an early one for ds as he's had a few late ones recently, and then a bath and mooching on here, keeping one eye on the carling cup scores to see if I've won a few pennies
