Morning ladies,

It's odd to think at this time 16 years ago I was single, how time flies and the weather we have today is just like on our wedding day (apart from there was a mist in the morning). OH due back by midnight but that will depend on if the flights are back to normal.

Rach - I love my magimix - I have the absolute basic one(compact 3100) and have had it for at least 7 years. I mainly use it for cakes/scones etc. Things like pancakes I would still do by hand and somethings like pastry I would use the magimix for the rubbing in and then add the water by hand. I do also have a hand held whizzy thing (braun)which I use for soups and smoothies and it has a little bowl which I use for breadcrumbs/mincing cooked meat although I can do that in the small magimix bowl. My friend (who used to sell cakes) has a Kenwood which is great but really expensive.

Vali - Happy Birthday.

Just going to do my dalies/packups and then wake the kids - big two not due in until9:30 today.

g&b - how is uni going? are you the eldest?

Its going really well thanks, loving it in fact. Am feeling a little bit old, but i dont think i'm the oldest. There is a middle aged guy who is in some of my courses but havent seen him that much. Generally though i am a fair bit older than most of them:o

Morning all - slipped for the last couple of days - but then I realised I feel much better when on top of all this - so I'm back again. Today shouldn't be too bad as I dysoned our room when I did that stairs on |Tues, and I sorted out all the shoes in Aug (got rid of 2 carrier bags to the charity shop - I feel terrible about all these things I've bought and not used - but at least someone else can use them now).

That's good as I need to get some of the food ready for Cub camp - which starts at 6.30 tonight - spag bol for 26 anyone! So I really want to leave the house looking reasonable before we go.

Good luck - and happy birthday to Valli (hope I got that right!)

totally off topic but:

Does anyone else think Heinz tomato ketchup tastes better if it comes in a glass bottle rather than the plastic squeezy things?

Nope, I'm helping you to start planning now so it doesn't rush up and bite you on the bum.:D

Why don't you all get, organise, buy, or make ONE thing this weekend in readiness for chrimbo.


Go onnnnnnnnn you know it makes sense.:rudolf:

I really don't want to think about it, but you did make me go and look in the 'present box'. So thanks, Triker because I found a few things I had forgotten I had and now know who I still need to get for.
