    Morning everyone

    Hugs to Zoe and Me

    It's cloudy this morning which is a shame because the washing basket seems to have become overflown when I wasn't looking.

    Hi, is it possible to alter this recipe and use some rice crispies and nuts, raisons and maybe even some chocholate? I wouldn't know how to alter the ingredients. Would I replace the rice crispies with some of the oats? Could it work if I replaced all the oats with a mix of rice crispies and the nuts and raisons? Does anyone know? I've make the hobnobs a few times and love them but would like to try to add a few things. Please can you help?

    Thanks in advance. Esther

    I mix and match all the time just chucking in various bits and pieces, never had a problem yet:D:T

    pouring rain here today, so not sure what we are getting up to yet.
    Had a lovely dinner out last night:drool::drool::drool:

    What did you have Jinks?:D

    Do we not have a list for Saturday? Or am I too early?
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Fridays Done:D

    Managed to throw stuff out!!!! Mainly out of kitchen drawers though!!!:eek:
    Finished the ironing too.

    Slow cooker is now a permanent fixture on the counter top and has been used 2 days on the run.

    HM takeaway night 2nite - bourbon chicken & EF rice. Followed by choc fudge pudding!:drool:

    Got to pick up my VHS of Buffy S7 I got off freecycle - nearly full collection!!:T

    Into shower now wait for Mr A to be delivered washing in machine. Reduced garlic chicken for lunch. And an afternoon of baking with all 4 kids. DS & DD1 helping (?) and DD2 & 3 sat on the floor licking the bowls - best bit! We're on hobnobs too.

    Morning all

    Need to put a face on and go out in the rain.
    I need to go to uni library and the computer system is being upgraded on Monday so who knows how long it will be down for (been there, done that etc)
    Unfortunately one of the books I need is in the store so I'm not sure if I will be able to get it till the system comes back.

    Then need to decide whether to put the paint the freecycler didn't collect back in the garage - note to self 'do not delete other requests until item has been collected' :mad:

    Greenbee you have less on yours than I do on mine and your house is tidy whereas mine is a bombsite. Even Master W said my house was messy when he came to visit on Tuesday!

    I was mortified when W said that because I know what bombsite we left behind at home :rotfl: and W is one of the major culprits in our house! Besides that it looked a lot like any house with young children who had just come back from hols, toys and clean clothes what more can I say. We had a great time with you all and it was you we came to see not the house ;) Plus W has seen SIL's house which is like a show house where you feel you are making it untidy just sitting perched on the edge of the settee.

    Back to catching up.

    00020403.gifflyers. hope you are all well today. It's raining and totally miserable here today. I will attempt yesterdays list in a wee while once I have woken up properly:rolleyes:. HRH still not great but she slept well last night, she has just woken now as I type, she is a lot cooler and her last dose of calpol was at midnight so that's an improvement.
    WM on, just off to find my list and make a start.
