    *SOBS, WAILS, WHINES* I want a sponge pudding but I'm going to make a lemon cous cous cake instead as it's only about 3 syns for the whole cake.

    Best make 2 actually, one for me and one for class tonight.:p;):D.....or maybe 3, another one for me later.:rotfl:

    OOh I think I've got that recipe somewhere...
    because I have NO CHANCE of getting my chops round a muffin. Kids had 2 each (and I only saw them take one!) so (ha ha ha kids) I have FROZEN the rest.

    Had a 'crumb' off DDs ("I NEED to taste it to know if they're worth making again...or I might not bother";) ) and it was scrummy! Bought 75 muffin cases anyway - so I'll to have do some more!

    Many thans G&B for both the link to the recipe and the tips!

    Soappie - so jealous of your day out. I love planes like this, the Harrier Jump Jet is a favourite (ooh what a nerd). But this quote always (always) puts a lump in my throat, on the use of the Harriers being dispatched from a carrier in the Falklands War:
    "I counted them all out, and I counted them all back"
    BBC correspondent Brian Hanrahan

    Sniff.:o

    A thread...about there being no threads and the site being down...???

    Mind you I read it all and :rotfl:

    Dining room - done level 3 (lost post again...)
    Bathroom done level 3 - towels will wash overnight on (not as cheap as it was) rate
    Muffins made - 33% eaten rest in freezer;)
    Chilli made - Triker Green chilli IYKWIM

    So all in all not a bad day!

    I got my brood sorted for shoes too.. £180 later.. just for the last 4.. AND it took me an hour to find shoes suitable for DD1's footsies!! coats, bags and undies shopping tomorrow!!!

    As for the rugby.. saying NOWT from over here... We fly the flag of the other colour...

    How did the SW go???

    So Juliejim's off to Hippy's, Triker's coming to mine - what is this - Flylady swap?


    I'll do a swap - with somebody who's already completed the lists for this week and is willing to come and do what's left of mine :rolleyes: Not many takers I'd imagine!!

    Did a big shop today and cleaned sink and toilet but not done much else (except have a yummy krispy kreme doughnut with my mum :D )
    And am seriously behind with my planning for school :eek: and I go back on Weds!!

    Have no motivation and think I am getting a bit worried about going back as have been off since 1st May and feel a bit out of it :( Am sure it'll be fine once I get back into it!
