    Dropped off teenie at College, went to Asda (not a good idea at school run time, traffic was horrendous) dropped off biscuits at school (why did they have the car park 5 mile away, exaggerate much? from the reception) took OH's shopping round to his and pout the fridge stuff in the fridge, as you do, came back, brought the bin in from yesterday :o put the xmas boxes back in the utility room, loaded the TD and switched that on, put xmas pop in there too, brought out another xmas box and put all them out (candles etc) shouted at the cat for A: ripping my wallpaper and B: jumping into a bag of pressies oh and C: tinkling with the tree :rotfl: gawd knows what she gets up to when I'm not in.

    Need to now, put box back into utility, sort work stuff out, go and make the beds and open the blinds (not done that yet) load the WM, find summat for tea, then go to work and clean her house for 3 hrs lol

    Kaz - fab fudge. Any chance of a link to the recipe please :D

    Fire de-ashed... .
    The recipe is from the Tesco Christmas magazine that you pick up in store. If you havent got one /cant find one I'll write it out for you. Although I think it needs some adapting. I could not get the sugar to dissolve into the condensed milk and butter and in the end kept adding water for it to dissolve into in the hope that the excess water would boil off. Thankfully it was successful. If I had to make it again I think i would make a sugar syrup in the microwave first then just boil it together. It is delicious tho :D.

    Did the fire stay in?

    Right I need to go find clothes before DH gets in too deep a sleep as he hates it when I go up into the bedroom if he's only been asleep an hour or so as he reckons I'm like an elephant :o

    Now wheres my list too
