Dusty - 3 weeks isnt too bad then - is he taking it ok??

He is taking it fine at the moment. Worry is the first time he broke the other one it was very similar and in plaster for 4 weeks. Problem was he broke it again within 3 weeks of the plaster coming off and the break was much worse, needed an op and much longer in plaster. So he is a bit wary but will be so keen to be back at sport.

I'm going through all OH's work benefits, a boring but necessary task and it is on my list for today.

Mudbath

Grrrr...filled in the first of the 6 page consulation forms only to find that i've made some of the boxes too small. On the plus side....I only printed out one of the 100 consultation packs so i've only wasted 6 pages!!! I've ammended the form and will start properly in the morning but i'm not allowing myself on here until i've done 50 of them so you might never see me again....stop cheering pigpen! xx

polkadot - absolutely no way would I give your cakes away! Try putting a photo of one in a local newsagents window, or if your DS goes to a playgroup, offer one as a raffle prize maybe when they do a fundraiser.

It has just occurred to me that if you are doing cakes for sale, there will be regulations about the kitchen that you are cooking in - is that mentioned by the business people who are helping you?

polkadot

AAAWWW Michelle Now I REALLY want to do Charlie's cake! I made a sweetie train for DS first birthday too! It was my first attempt at a shaped cake and I worked on it ALL night. I started doing it to spite the granddragon coz she insisted she would do his cake. Thank goodness I did it in the end coz when she arrived she had a caramel pie from a co op type shop with a number one candle in it....and there began my love affair.;)

Anyway they now have their own debt mangement company and wnat to help me - free of charge too! I will have to work on that one!!!

Ok home and while tea was heating I divided up pot of mince that I had made in the SC and that is now in the freezer - I decided I wouldnt come on here until I had done some of my jobs and could tell you.

Yes, they have. But apparently based on my aims that can be got around. But I guess I'll learn more at the workshop.

Um, why wouldn't you give my cakes away?
