    Wow Soapie i have copied that it looks blooming lovely are you a Chef??

    Nope. I'm not. Though I've often dreamed about opening a cafe/tea room sort of thing. To zing it up a bit I'd add garlic to the stirfry pepper bit. And possibly add a smidgeon of white wine to the foil parcel the salmon was in but I wasn't sure if Toots had those things in.

    Follow your dreams and from the sound of it you would do very well. Can imagine you would do well.

    I love to cook and have fun experimenting. Doesn't always work out but most of the time is yummy.
    DH loves my homemade Shepherds pie and my secret ingredient is Oyster Sauce ;)

    DS and i made cupcakes today as i had leftover royal icing from Tuesday. They are bright green with jellies on the top.

    Hiya Broke22

    Sweety its your first day. Please don't get disheartened just take baby steps. If you set your self up to do all the list and you don't you will feel like you do now. Just build up to it by doing one level at a time.

    It will come and you will soon be an expert at the flying. I am pretty new here compared to some and have been a regular ever since.

    Have fun and enjoy the flying. Whatever you have done you have done well xx Keep it up hun x

    Well done Clarissa new list is up for Thrsday see post 1 xx

    Soappie you are a genius - that was by far the best dinner I have had in ages!! Thank you so much!!! slight hiccup with the rice :rotfl:- didnt put quite enough water in and it had started to stick to the pan - but hey ho there was loads - too much so i will be having rice salad with something tomorrow! ooh I am stuffed!!!!

    boddy huge hugs -sling her a dirty look - you know the kind that sinks ships!!! if she says about you talking to people tell her yes you have spoken to 392 people so far! If she says about the cups of tea - ask who's counting? try to answer her back with something - she is not worth worrying about and as the others have said - if you can, ignore her - she def sounds like she is jealous - and no wonder - you are a lovely warm caring person who is liked by everyone AND have lost 2.5 lbs :T:T WTG thats fantastic :T:T:T xx

    managed to bring in the washing while the tea was on -one of my sheets was in the flower bed!! I didnt think it was that windy and it did have 4 pegs on:confused:

    Thanks for all your kind wishes :A:A- I will get there - it just seemed a bit too soon but I still have 4 days to get my act together. I have calmed down a bit now. You all make such a difference to my life.:A:A:A:A:A

    I have now made a mess in the kitchen so had better go tidy up a bit!!

    Peace will be mine

    (((Hugs))) broke22- dont be hard on yourself - we have all been flying for ages so things get done more easily.

    post a list of what you have done and I bet you have managed loads of things - maybe they are just not on the list!

    ETA All I did was a washing!!!!
