    Don't have a clue elf, I buy mine at the shop :o

    Cleaned my work bag out, I didn't count but I bet there was 100's (exaggerate much? moi?) of receipts/gibble and crumbs in there, it was yuck! It's sparkling now :A

    Need to get upstairs and get ready for work, make my bed, fling open the windows, wake littley up and get her sorted, stroke my new trainers, fling the good box they came in (oh it pains me to throw away good boxes, but it's no earthly use) trip over the cat, flush the upstairs loo cause a 17 yr old still hasn't learnt that concept, oooh and I'll take the 2 rolls of birthday wrapping paper up with me *thumbs up*

    Great Soappie thanks for that. Have never made one before but thought it would be a good way of using up odds and sods in the fridge :o
    Also going to make a blueberry and lime loaf later :drool:

    sometimes I don't get any, depending on what else comes up and what actually needs doing. Yes, I like getting the stars, but when weeks go by without me getting any, I know it's just because I've got other priorities.
    That just about covers me too.

    I did well (for me) last week, but no chance of any stars this week - the house will be lucky if it sees the vacuum :o (no I'm not skiving - got an assignment due on Friday)

    Usually there are things I don't have - can't do, so I get close but not quite.
    But I like it here :j
