    Good morning ladies.

    Thanks for all the hugs and support, your all fab. Its nice to have some friends to talk to - even if they are virtual ones!! (((((((((hugs))))))))) back to those who need them.

    Didnt do very much flying in the end last night. Am going to fly round the house today and finish what I can from the lists. I want to go out and see if I can get some pots and planters for some tomatoes and strawberries - and am also off to investigate Wilkinsons, Aldi/Lidl (which Ive never been to!), my local butcher and my farm shop!! My son will be so happy :rolleyes:

    :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T to all those who have done so well with the flying!!

    Since there doesnt seem to be a weekend list - my mission for the weekend is to catch up with my other lists, get on with my ironing which I have only done once this week :eek: and to declutter various drawers and hotspots which havent got round to yet.......this is with the aim of discovering lots of loose change to help with my other challenges:D

    Im off to do a HHC from 8.30 - 9.00 (will give me time to make a cup of tea before then!) - this will be my first online challenge!! Anyone like to join in....?

    xx

    Greenbee – I used to just say nothing personal but I don’t socialise at work and I was consistent in saying that to any invitation. Anything that says not now may be seen as a green light that he should try again later and do you really want the hassle? Mind you, I did crack and accept one and ended up marrying him so what do I know?
    Jo – hope you are ok this morning. Cheesecake - I have made a milk chocolate version and it was nice, doesn’t look that appetising though - like mud! You can make a plain choc one but you need to add some sugar to sweeten it a little. I make a fruit couli (sp ?) to go with whichever version – aldi frozen summer fruits, half a bag in a pan (still frozen), a bit of lemon juice and a few spoons of sugar. On a low heat until it has melted and you still have whole fruit in a sauce. Adjust the sugar to suit you.
    Lil me – spending on pudding is essential spending! Stick to the own brand philly (not low fat – it is too runny), use value chocolate melted very slowly, and halve the quantities and use a small tin and it will make pudding for 6.
    Kaz – forgot to say re suspension, I suspect it is policy that he must be suspended, not an indication of outcome. They have to be consistent in what they do, regardless of the likely outcome. If you need specific advice feel free to PM me.
    Right, very little done since Wednesday so I need to look at the lists and see what is outstanding.
