The car desperatley needed a clean both inside and out. I have to admit that it gets done on a VERY infrequent basis

Normally I would go to the garage and use their vac and car wash.

Today I decided to do it myself at home.

It looks great :j

It cost nothing :j

I enjoyed doing it :eek:

EDIT: I'm in West Yorks, come and do mine!

For recipe sharers, I was wondering what to do with the 1 remaining OOD egg in my fridge, and found this on BBC Food:

Carrot cake with a lemon drizzle
Preparation time less than 30 mins
Cooking time 10 to 30 mins
Serves 1


Ingredients
For the carrot cake
55g/2oz unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
55g/2oz caster sugar
55g/2oz self-raising flour
1 free-range egg, beaten
1 carrot, peeled and grated
For the lemon drizzle
200g/7oz icing sugar, sifted
1 lemon, juice only

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Place the butter and sugar into a food processor and blend until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Add the flour and egg and blend again until smooth. Stir in the grated carrot and spoon into a 23 x 23cm/9 x 9in square baking tray greased with butter. Bake for 15 minutes or until well-risen, golden-brown on top and a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
4. For the lemon drizzle, mix the lemon juice with the sifted icing sugar to a smooth consistency in a bowl.
5. To serve, cut the cake into squares and pour over the lemon drizzle.


Hope it helps someone

Edit - just realised it says serves 1 :eek: -I'm trying it later so will let you know how much it actually makes!
