6 tbs sugar
2 tbs honey
2 tbs water
1 tsp bicarbonate soda

1. Place sugar, honey and water in a pan

2. Stir on medium heat until sugar is dissolved

3. Let mixture bubble away till it thickens

to test if ready drop a little into some cold water and should set in the water.

4 when ready, put in bicarbonate of soda and mix quickly. Mixture will bubble up a lot.

5. Pour straight into a small tray approx 6cm deep

6. Let it cool and set then break up and enjoy.:j

forgot to say that you can use golden syrup instead of honey. i used honey because I have no GS in my cupboards.

hello from stormsville!

1.good day at work, did 2 extra hours.
2.bond (deposit) paid back into savings account, solvent once again! I am not a saver by nature but liked to know that we had at least 1 airfare to UK in account in case of family emergency back home. So that's back in
3.Phone call from my husband to tell me there was a storm warning for our area, just got back to car in time before downpour started. I don't like driving in a storm , visibility was poor but just took my time & got home in one piece! It has rumbled on for a few hours now....hopefully will clear the air & of course is good for garden............did spare a thought for the people who took over lease in old house.....hope they had nothing valuable in the garage....will be wet by now!
4.Made very yummy macaroni for tea, was most delicious , had to use a mix of cheese (of a cheddary nature) and parmesan.
5.Pleasure still to come, going out to a friends house tonight, which will be nice to have a catch up.

My five for yesterday are

1. Walk with a neighbour - good to catch up and have a chat as we tend not to talk as much in the winter as no seeing each other in the gardens.

2. Using up liver from the freezre for DH tea as I wasn't hungry and DS2 away.

3. Long chat on (free) phonecall to a friend.

4. Made banana bread.
