    niclou - I haven't added sugar, but I guess if you wanted a sweet version you could add it.

    rosyred - sorry meant to say, good luck to your ds

    Just want to tell everyone that I currently really hate my dining room, it's not a big room but it is taking forever!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    :j:j:j Finally I did it!!! I managed to make a photo of Penny into an avatar! Taken me a couple of hours - technically bright I am not!:o I guess perserverance gets you there in the end! lol!

    Now I have to work out how to make 2 full length curtains into one door curtain to stop drafts and 2 smaller curtains for hallway window! I am not very good at sewing either!:o
    Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.
