    hiya :)

    Can I ask some advice?

    My mum is going to do 10 days (one a week for 10 weeks) of fergie care for me when I do some freelance work from 6th Oct.

    I'd like to pay her, although she will offer to do it for nowt :) what do people think would be a reasonable granny wage? I shall be gone from 9.30 til 5 ish, but if clients don't show or cancel I can often come home early...:D

    Love Weezl xxx

    dare to divulge ur recipe!!?? :beer:

    here it is:

    1/4 of a 250g pack of butter
    4 tbsp sugar
    1 egg
    1 1/2 cups (6oz) of flour
    2 finely chopped snickers

    1) melt butter gently
    2) add sugar to butter mix and allow to cool slightly
    3) add flour, beaten egg and snickers to butter mixture
    4) spoon mixture onto baking tray leaving a gap
    between each cookie
    5) place in oven at 190 degrees (170 fan oven) for around 15-20 mins
    6) take out and allow to cool - unless like me you can't wait an have to eat warm/hot!!

    Enjoy:D

    I'm sorry it's not gone how you would have liked but don't worry we'll not be having a go :)
    Now the ultimate question, will you be breaking the rules on formula prep? if so in which way? *hopes lolly saw the discussion the other day*

    it supposedly makes 20 cookies! But I made 10 bigger cookies :)

    next on my list to make is bread & butter pudding and fruit cake using condensed milk. Need to get back into my baking love doing it. I got an A in home economics at school!!

    Not been hiding just not been posting, feel a bit out of place on here sometimes really...

    oooh that's really good, I make it that you can do the smaller ones for 5.8p per cookie :money::money:

    Thanks sami:A, about the granny wages, I was thinking of £30, which would be a bit more than the CM fee...

    Weezl - as a money making side line what about nicking THIS idea? I love how they look and I'm sure it wouldn't cost much to make ?? some of my class made teddies in textiles lessons and it certainly took them less time than it took me to make a simple dress!
