    I've got to line the bread tin muse and its not that difficult to line, I put a square at the bottom and on epiece round the sides. I cut 'snips' at the bottom of the paper so that it fits the corners better. The cake comes out like a flat loaf of bread shape :) Tasty though.

    Thanks for the 30min method Brodie :) We'll give it a go.

    :o We've been so naughty this weekend and spent soo much money. DH has bought himself an Xbox, me an eternity ring, we've both got new shoes (and blisters to go with them) and spent more money at Ikea. Must get control of our finances again!
    Currently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck :)

    aw another vote for the description of the eternity ring!

    Embarrassingly when i went to get my wedding ring i chose one i loved, which is platinim with tiny diamonds all the way round. When my mum saw it she said thats an eternity ring (i'd never heard of them before :o) and obviously the sales rep in jewellers didnt say anything.... I've since learned after a few people commenting that wedding rings only have diamonds on the front half.

    Its now a nagging point for the OH for him to buy me a wedding ring, so i can wear them both :rotfl:
  • How lovely!

    I have an IOU for an eternity ring from DH, to be honoured by 2012...we'll see.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    The ring is a full eternity (diamonds all the way round :D) 18ct white gold. Very skinny and looks a fair bit like this one :- http://www.beaverbrooks.co.uk/ladies/platinum/jewellery/rings/4690/platinum-diamond-eternity-ring
