    Happy Birthday toochoosy

    Sorry Spotty dog has been frightened

    Takes me back all you making Christmas cakes today, my late mother use to make then October halfterm week as well, so we could all help with the mixing and washing up!!

    She use to poke a clean knitting needle in it to test if it was cooked, not too sure how well this worked, but they always tasted yummy.

    Plan baking (maybe do some!)- chocolate cupcakes
    Just thought I would show you all a picture of the choccie cupcakes I made, and also the fudge made with the leftover condensed milk.
    Yummy yummy yummy.
    Also put all the washing away and set up 2 lots of nappies this afternoon, so knitting postponed to the evening once DS asleep.

    OrkneyStar they look great, making me want something sweet.

    Kids are driving me crazy already, roll on bedtime.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Well done for going G&B - did he take samples?

    No, she said i've to try the medication and if it gets worse or goes on much longer they will take samples.

    Evening all

    Valli - hope the sinus eases up soon
    Summermoon - well done so far - you'll get there! And excellent news about the keys!
    Mudders - poor spotty! And you! Hope you both get over aches and pains soon
    Vanilla - hope you don't get snowed in! Or if you do, your wee ones and DH are home too and you have provisions in

    Drive to work was better than I thought it would be this morning though quite slow - everyone was being v. careful.

    My list for this evening goes like this:
    • Finish presentation and email off
    • Sign contract and scan and email back
    • Change cat litter tray
    • Empty DW
    • Cook dinner (bangers and mash I think)
    • Do bathroom
    • Do 1 wm load
    That'll keep me quiet for a bit
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    I didn't take offence toots:confused:

    We had a good time - DD was looking after Grandad as it was Taybarns so you get your own food and he isn't brilliant on his feet.
