    glad to see you've all been getting on ;) I'll have any cake and cuppas that are going as i didn't manage starbucks in the end (saved some money at least!)

    bit annoyed as jessops screwed up my photos which were for part of DH's present, but i stupidly didn't check before i got home. not happy. they've cut the feet off the giraffe on the photo i got blown up to 10x8 (see my facebook for the pics). anyway, i've put it in the frame (bargain £3.60 from debenhams) and will just explain to DH that we'll have to get the photo printed again.

    meat sauce for lasagne is done, does anyone know if i can make white sauce in the microwave - usually use a pan but i have a feeling it can be done in the mw.

    better quickly wrap presents up and get dinner finished, DH will be home by 6!

    Always make my white sauce in the MW

    I use milk, cornflour, season (S&P) pop in butter/marg, micro full 2 mins, Take it out, stir, then keep zapping it for 1 min at a time until it's done!
