Good news on your Aunt, Pigpen, I’m pleased the prognosis is so good

Hellsbells you have done really well! Carpet cleaning is a horrible job

My word, the bedroom list is a lot! I don't think I will be getting a star for that! All those cupboards to sort out, eek!

Hugs to LL - thanks for passing that on Rosepink (glad to see your decluttering is going so well)
Pigpen - you must be relieved about your aunt - are you feeling any better?

Louboutingirl - how did you get on tonight? This LG is on SW as well (spooky) - my weigh in is on Thursdays

Must do some exercise tomorrow - can anyone tell me which board the wiifit challenge is on? I need to start exercising a bit every day if I hope to get back into my size 12s this side of X***.

My decluttering is starting to rub off on my mum - she's starting to get herself sorted now - think that she's finally getting used to being retired - I'm only too happy to help as long as she plays along too rather than sabotaging herself. Not helped by my dad who is a natural born slob!!!!

What's on the list for tomorrow? I must tackle the bathroom - I've been moulting again (the joy of long hair).

. If I get Phase 2 done this week, please may I have a special award? This is two years worth of mess behind the TV!

I think Toots and I will have to have a conflab at the end of the week to see if an award has been earned. I think before and after pics may help with the judgement process

stars done to 316

Toots, me dahlin' lovely to see you manage to pop on and thanks for doing that - it quite took me by surprise!

Greenbee - how does the running cost of the dehumidifier compare with putting the heating on?

Valli - you've done well on the school planning!

Thanks for the update on LL Rosep - sending her hugs

Well, I've eaten dinner and mooched about a bit. Haven't done enough work to earn a star for myself today. But, tomorrow is another day.

Evening all

What a chatty busy lot you have been. We have been out most of the day visiting my aunt so nothing got done here really but then it didn't get any worse either!

AnW's mum - thank you for that backronym link. That is just the sort of useless trivia that I love to know.:D

We must be twins I love useless trivia :rotfl:

Will be knocking about tomorrow as I have friends coming over tomorrow night. Need to kill a few hot spots and nip out to get some nibbles and wine

Ladies!

I need some help please ..... it was my birthday on Sunday and both my sister and some friends made me a cake. My sister got there first and her cake was HUGE (a four-layer-cemented-together-with-chocolate-fudge-and-chocolate cake) which in spite of the best efforts of six of us we still have not managed to finish. Then my friends have given me another huge chocolate cake which looks lovely (they hunted for ages for a vegan recipe for me) but I am completely caked out at the moment. I never thought I would hear myself utter those words!

Can I slice the remaining cake and freeze it? Can I freeze the slices in the tin ie put the tin in the freezer or would I need to take them out and wrap them separately? I have never needed to freeze cake before! It is vegan so there is no dairy produce in it.

I hope one of you can help!

I have had guests this weekend so I haven't done any flying and I haven't managed to keep up with the thread, so hugs to those who need them, and virtual chocolate cake to you all!
