    Love the card Ellidee, thank you!

    Well the house is now tidy - for how long though, who knows :)

    I even gave the stairs a good going over, including washing paintwork and everything - bet no-one even notices!

    My ex bf is coming round for a cuppa shortly! To be honest, I could do with having a nap!

    B knows something isn't right as she keeps giving me lots and lots of hugs bless her.

    I've escaped the screaming by being ill. Woke up this morning (very late for me too), went to the shop for throat and chest sweets, and nearly collapsed in the shop, then I've been asleep until quarter of an hour ago

    ETA: how much apricot jam do I need to warm through to get the marzipan to stick?
