    Have the Scottish lasses been at The Scotch having wee drams, and totally lost the plot?

    P.S.
    A pint of heavy with a whisky chaser please, followed by a black pudding supper.

    Had to give up on catching up properly but I think I have got the gist of the mad conversations on here today. FH, everything crossed for you for tomorrow.

    I'm up for an AF Tuesday, I must get a few days in for September before off on hols.

    Nos Da!

    True BH madness here yesterday I see ! Am totally confused....

    Confession time. I made a convienient (sp?) decision last night to remove those two cans from the fridge, convienient because I drunk them, after dinner. So there will be no wars in September about to drink or not to drink. I don't have any in the house. Full stop.

    Jo this bread maker malarky, I have one and have varied successes and failures. When I do get it right the bread exists for about 4 hours at most, they just eat it ! Tried a chocolate cake as per the recipe booklet once at became a legendary story named Mum's 'Poo cake'. Looked strange, tasted disgusting. Couldn't work out what I'd done wrong until DS2 pointed out shouldn't the mixing paddle thingy have been in the machine ?

    I would love to do a pizza dough and make dough balls a la Pizza Express.

    Thanks Miss P for the scoring, YM I look forward to being a scrap of paper in your wallet :)

    Done a quick catch up as I'm up early - mad as a box of frogs you lot - is all I can say. Love the Scottish though as I used to live in Edinburgh a long time ago - took me three months before I understood anyone (me being a softy southerner an all).

    Having said I wouldn't have wine last night, I did (:o). The tail end of a bottle shared between DH and me, just one glass but it's not the quantity is it? It's the fact that I had to have it, couldn't leave it in the bottle. This challenge is going to be harder than I had thought. Surely it cannot be that difficult to not have a a glass of wine in the evenings???

    I'm also feeling a vaguely anxious feeling although I don't know why at all.
    Ah well, enjoy your day
    Trying to keep in budget.
