    Hi Everyone,

    Well to-day has been a disaster. Just GRILLED some cakes thought I had oven on but it was the grill!!!

    Grilled cakes anyone??:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    DH thinks I am getting really mean told him we were having cold chicken (left over from yesterday) with bubble and squeak also leftover from yesterday He suggested I went round the streets and picked up all the carrots that people had used for snowman noses then we could have carrots as well. Do you think I am taking this savings a bit too far??:D


    Glad you had a good weekend Sparky take care of that cold.
