Well Done Glittermum thats a huge task!!

Ginger Cake Recipe is on my blog, for some reason photobucket wouldn't let me upload photos, so couldn't put it on CP.

Cleaning for me today!

I've been blog-hopping while having my coffee break and saw this. I thought it was really different (if you're at work be warned this blog plays music - just gave everyone in here a fright when I clicked onto it OOPS:o)

And for those of you who like butterflies

I haven't read through here yet so I'll catch up properly later. x

Flourgirl - Thank you for the recipe on your blog - and the mouthwatering pictures! I won't have time to make it just yet as we are going away next week but will be ready for baking when we get home.

Glittermum - bet you don't want to see another tea bag holder for a while! Congratulations! I hope they appreciate all your effort. Hope your friends check up all goes well.

If you are at home during the day next week & have time to spare can I ask you to watch "May the Best Home Win" 2pm each day on ITV1. Don't panic I'm not on it & wouldn't dare show my house. My nephew in law is the series producer so I thought I'd try to drum up a bit of support for him. I believe it's a bit like 'Come Dine with Me' without the food.

Flourgirl, sorry to hear about your sister's SIL, hope medication sorts him out xxx

Glittermum, huge well done on the amount of crafting you're doing :T. Have a lovely eveing with your friend xxx

Thrifty, massive congrats on the weight loss and have a fab weekend, I have a sneaky feeling you will xxx

Jailhouse, huge well done on doing a lecture to Masters students - eeekkk, I would be terrified!!!

Rusty, my DS slept much better last night, he is snoring a lot too, sounds almost as bad as my OH and that's saying something I absolutely love your scrapbook LO, it's gorgeous x

We've got quite a bit of snow that has fallen overnight. I am going to take the boys to the Lego shop this afternoon (DS1's favourite place - I want some ideas for his birthday next month) and then off to my m&d for tea and to see my brother as he's going home as he's taking my dad for a day in London tomorrow. They are going for a tour of Wembley and to look round St Pancras.

Take care everyone x

Can anyone help me. I am after English breakfast teabags which are individually wrapped. I am presuming Twinings wrap all of theirs? or does it state on the boxes if they are individually wrapped?

Rusty I think I may be reading your mind or vice versa. We both seemed to think of doing teabag invites for parties at the same time and I too was teabag hunting last night.

Taylors of Harrogate also do indivually wrapped bags. They're the ones who make Yorkshire Tea and run Betty's tea shops. Int heir online shop they have either 20 wrapped or 50 unwrapped bags in a box for £1.89 but forgot to look what postage was
I'm going to check out my local waitrose this weekend.

Ali - I've put your name in the draw.
Flourgirl - your cake looks yummy; I love ginger cake! Do you know if it would freeze?
Where are craft ribbons? Did a quick google but couldn't find it. ETA: found it! (here)

I've managed to comment on Rusty's blog. :j
I've started a new blog in WordPress - it's a bit bare looking atm, I'm still trying to figure it out. I'll change my user cp now to direct you to my new homepage.
