Apparently, this is the sun! I don't believe it! But then, I have never seen the sun so it might be true :rotfl:.

Know how you feel nicca - I'm fed up looking at grey cloudy skies:(:( Shall we pretend it's sunny :D


Phew... isn't it warm today :D

solventsoon

Here's a bump especially for you, nicca

Good afternoon all, happy Saturday and all that. Roll on spring because we deserve a break from this cold and gloom. Now to get that chocolate cake out of the oven and put it away without drooling all over it......

solventsoon

Did someone mention chocolate cake? :D:D

Yay!!!:T:T:T I'm a very happy girl, thank you Spoon!

That chocolate cake was scrumptious too, mmm mmmm! Can you make another one please?

Chocolate cake made with Green & Black cocoa and bits of white choc chippings throughout - will cut it into portions for son's packed lunches next week. He decided he didn't want school dinners any more as they are apparently not very nice. I have been getting small rolls from the local bakery (about half the size of a normal bread roll), making them up with fillings then freezing them. A couple of them, a homemade cake portion and a piece of fruit is enough for his packed lunch (his appetite is not that big that time of day, and we have a two-course evening meal) lunch sorted at half the cost of school meals, very MSE!

And here's something not quite so choclatey but very useful to know!


Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


Kind wishes

To paraphrase Tixy - troll bashing should not only be an Olympic sport, it should be a compulsory part of the National Curriculum.

Evening all..just popped in for a break from the olympics but now I am going back to watching them.

Its been a thoroughly grizzly and grey day here today and its not going to improve tomorrow either.

Very MSE, Nargle, and sounds delicious - when are you setting up your sandwich business?:)

PS: Agree with you comment about trolls

solventsoon

There you are, nicca, another one especially for you :D:D
