    morning everyone

    Happy easter! :easter_ba

    FFP - thanks for the link, I'll have a look later.

    Another gray morning. Don't know what I'll do today. If the weather perks up a bit later, I may go out with the dog and the camera.

    oh and another question re Breadrolls:
    how do you lovely people make your bread / breadrolls?????
    i've got a bm and it does the dough and then?? i've tried once and well, didn't turn out so well :o

    I make the dough in the BM then cut it into pieces, shape into balls, stick on a baking tray, leave in a warm place for another hour to prove a bit then lob in the oven at about 200 deg (gas mark 6) for as long as it takes - usually about 20 minutes

    Morning all

    Happy Easter :D

    Well done on the ironing embb it's a great feeling to get it all done isn't it? I am trying to make sure that it is all done as it is washed, so far so good. Been that way for several weeks now, all part of my dot to dot approach ;)

    Just opened all the post from the last week, there wasn't too much and I was pleasantly surprised to see us 3 pensioners (!) have had a good pay rise AND the water bill has almost halved, they must have done a meter reading.

    About to shower and get ready for church, fluffy chick sat by the front door waiting to go to church for Grandad courtesy of Miss A :)

    Have a good day everyone x

    Have tears in my eyes after seeing the tributes to the Hillsborough tragedy on MOTD. The minute's silence at Fratton Park today was moving too.

    I was howling watching the tributes at Anfield yesterday. 20 years on, I still cant get my head round it. Kelly Cates (nee Dalgleish) is doing a programme on Radio 5 Live tonight at 7 pm. I'll definately be listening.

    On a brighter note...did you see Sky Sports News yesterday? They featured Sol Campbell visiting Rachel House :A I do like seeing when footballers get involved with the community.

    :easter: everyone

    Welcome back serena and AnWsMum....WTG W :j

    He! he! thanks guys, I still think ironing is a waste of time, but I decided a few weeks ago I should probs do littleys cause they're so finicky I can't get away with not doing them IYSWIM they look just awful even after they've been hand-flattened whilst wet. I forgot.... I've got to hang them all up now - 'in outfits' with the hangers all facing the same way :rotfl: OCD much? :rotfl:

    Emptied the DW, reloaded it, got the SC pot soaking in the sink, will go S&S in a min.

    Sorry meant to say earlier, sieve brain, Welcome back Serena sounds like it was just heavenly. x

    Welcome back AnW'smum glad you all had a good time x

    Morning and Happy Easter everyone,

    I've been trying to get on here sine 7.30am, but the puter wouldn't start up properly. It's taken all this time. I don't know why it does it. Somedays it's fine and others carp:confused:

    Anyway in the meantime I've done a bit off the list I posted yesterday. Plus 2 loads of washing and the DW has been on and finished too.

    Off to find my list

    Going to put Mamma Mia on now while I do some ironing. I've got lamb in the oven ready for dinner which is DH's favourite. He texted me yesterday to ask what was for dinner as he should be back about lunchtime and I said whatever he does! DD said Easter eggs!
