    kitchen all done so star please toots - thank you!

    on having a sort out of the baking stuff I found I had 3 tubs of cream of tartar! two of the tubs were half empty so I combined them, the other was unopened (and I'm not telling you the sell by date!) not sure what I'd even bought them for :confused: I do make scones sometimes but never use cream of tartar in them (although I think I will be now!) using it in playdough rings a bell - so maybe it was for that -

    so ladies, what else can I use cream of tartar for?
    weaving through the chaos...

    welcome to the thread gotnodosh apm will be with you shortly which I hope will help a bit.

    ok peeps - I just happened to notice that there were stars declared at the end of last weeks thread - I dont always go back to check and they were posted very late on - so from now on REQUESTS FOR STARS NEED TO BE POSTED BEFORE 8PM ON A SUNDAY.

    I have made several amendements this week and I have tried to always go back and amend the previous week's list but its getting more time consuming so thats why I am creating the deadline - I hope you understand and will try to oblige. If you are working on finishing a list on a sunday evening then tell me and I will award the star in advance and trust you to finish it (well its only yourself you are deceiving).

    ok just wanted to get up to date before the forum goes off at 4pm

    catch up with you all later

    toots xx

    Afternoon all. Am back from work a little early today - looks like a good job since it's kitchen day which is, of course, the bane of my existence! But we've been doing a lot over the weekend and I noticed OH doing some washing up when I got in so hopefully it won't be an all night job!!

    Have to [STRIKE]hoover round[/STRIKE] and get some laundry on/away and exercise too so best not sit around writing about it! Have at thee, house of ultimate stench!
    DONE!!!
