140...and it took nearly 2 hours instead of 1.25 hours as per the recipe

It's possible that 140 is not really 140 on your oven if it took that much longer. Your extra time at 50 degrees might work, but it might not. If the worst comes to the worst, you could break it up and use the non weepy bits to make

Eton Mess

instead of pavlova... You can substitute strawberries for raspberries

The oven is possibly the most useless one I have had in my life! I hate it! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Right, I'm chilled now....thank you for that soappie. Eton Mess it is if I cant resolve the problem.

Off to the kitchen to investigate and finish off the white chocolate cheesecake.

PS toots - when I phoned you last night, I was muttering about the weeping pavlova while I was looking for your phone number. BF thought I was phoning you for advice

Morning toots :hello:
Looking better this morning.
Sun shining which is a definite improvement on yesterday.

Hopefully will buck me up a bit. Don't bother with sympathy there is no justification for my mood just CBA. Need to give myself a good shake.
(Maybe a trip to the shops and some :EasterBun might help)

Good morning all. Sarah Shattered ~ thanks for posting the link of where you stayed... that whole area looks lovely, I don't know the south-west at all, it's definitely somewhere I'd like to start exploring ( once I pass the dreaded driving test!)

It's off and out for me this morning. Last week I took my Mum to the library and she got her first library card at the grand old age of 79! She loves it, but our check out system is entirely automated so I'm going into town with her and ds3 to walk her through it again, as she is an early riser I had better get my skates on

Well done Mozzy :T - where are you off to?

embb

Well Done mozzy :T have a good trip x

re: supermarket conveyor belts, I'm a bit OCD about them too, I put all the heavy stuff on first and bread last, freezer stuff in one bag, fruit/veg in another and so on and so forth, the lasses in Asda are fab at packing though, dare I say it better than me though my one gripe is that they don't fill the bags enough, can't be doing with half empty bags

K, I've bunged a Sausage Casserole in the SC to have with some leftover mash from last night so that's tea sorted :T I've pegged out some washing and put another load in the WM, gonna head upstairs shortly armed with a bin bag for littleys room.....hopefully will finish my 100 thing fling while I'm there, infact I'm almost sure I will lol

I love easy going Saturday mornings :j

Morning everybody,

Its a lovely bright sunny day here at the moment.

Lil_me thats a lot of caravans etc - hope it quietens down next week for you - just relax and enjoy the break.
FFP you are not allowed to join the insomniacs group - you had better keep going all day so that you crash out tonight - what a shame though - its not nice not being able to sleep like that.

Do you mean finishing it off as in eating it??? Ohhh, can I help you declutter that? :rotfl:numnum
Good luck with the meringue - however it works out... I always buy mine so am very impressed that you cooked your own.

Hi Tag - long time no see it feels - glad you've got some peace and quiet - I've just got DS up because of the mess he left in my kitchen so he is currently clearing that up, plus all the tools he left in the garden that are now wet and going rusty because it rained...:mad::mad::mad: not a good start to the day... came on here for some sanity (mmmm, might have to re-look at my methods for sanity... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)

OK, DS has now finally finished picking his stuff up in the kitchen (only let them work on their bikes in there because it was raining and if they cleared up, so that's it, he doesn't do it again - he will learn), so I am about to finish that now... have done the front room, but need to dust and vacuum - am doing all together...

See you in a bit...
