    When I made the pumpkin cake it was using an american recipe, I just used a mug as a 'cup' and filled it as required (i.e. 'half', 'third' etc).
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I know Cinny, but it is hopeless, as soon as I find a hole in a kitchen cupboard I'll have to buy a gadget to fill it! It'll be an ice cream maker or a bread maker! Or possibly a doughnut maker... me likey the useless gadgets!
    I think we send parcels to Electric Avenue too, it's always good for a giggle! Almost as much fun as dealing with queries about 'Nipples' or 'Nuts'! We're a mature bunch!

    Morning everyone, just out of boring old training, eyes nice and glazed over, and i have about 50 emails that need attending to after my 2 days off :(

    Loving the sound of the custard cream ice cream - they are my favouritest dunky biscuits! I saw the B&J thing but thought it had to be a shop, didn't realise it was cinemas. Got lots to do this dinnertime unfortunately otherwise I'd have had a wander to cineworld for some cookie dough.

    It's always nice to hear how many people met their OHs online, makes me feel less of a desperado! Though I can't say it wasn't a case of the beer goggles for me as I was quaffing wine when I first contacted OH with a leery "You're a handsome chap!" so just like meeting in a pub after all really!

    Any sign of the keys Cinny?

    LOL@ your chat up line Tete! And there is always time for free ice cream, one of us has to enjoy a free cone, do it for me!!!!
    I'm super dooper bored this morning, I'm supposed to have been training a chap on a job that has taken the other women hours and hours every day for 3 straight weeks to learn; I showed him how to do it yesterday and he did it himself just using my notes this morning, I'm not needed!

    My meeting of oh OH is not very romantic either. Was at my 18th birthday party, he came with a friend and when i saw him i said to my mate 'ohh he is fit'.

    Then later on he came up to me and offered me a shot of sambucca to which i ran away and then he snogged my friend lol.

    We started chatting a couple of days after on msn though and went from there

    Haha, it's all hearts and flowers meeting boys isn't it?!

    I'm currently trying to sign myself up to the Blur fansite as they've announced intimate festival warm up gigs in June and pre-sale tickets go on sale to members in the morning, keps crashing though. Not very MSE to spend £35 on a gig ticket, but I do love them!

    Birdie, if it helps I'm bored this morning too! Bar my 15 minute struggle with the parcel - sadly just some science room taps, nothing as funny nipples, although it is funny when you're billing people for '10 x nipples' - I've just been clicking about on here. And now I just want some ice cream!

    Tete - I have the spare key! So I'll be tearing the house apart this afternoon to find it, and Birdie's right, there's always time for ice cream! That was a fantastic chat up line you used though.

    Wendz - God, us lot clearly have the romance bug! On mine and OHs first 'date' we sat awkwardly next too each other in silence while our friends messed around in the arcade, then he bought me a lilt. In my defence I was only 13 at the time!

    Ohh, £35 is worth it! My mum went to one of those gigs which was 'intimate' with Rammstein, you normally get to meet the band afterwards too. Fingers crossed you manage to join!
