    Becky and Sammy- thank you for your concern...I'm kind of used to it to be honest, I work with kids who have 'challenging' behaviours, and he was having a really bad day! Just work trying to distinguish the real threats from the angry hot air!

    Sammy don't worry about the relay hun. It doesn't specify anywhere that you have to do it in a certain time...its all a bit relaxed out the sticks in the west country but can't be certain until I get a chance to call someone. If there is only you and me seems a bit silly as we would have to do 2 legs each :eek:

    Sigh. What a day. Got threatened with a fire extinguisher (as in he was going to hit me in the face with it, rather than set it off at me) and my car broke down in the middle of the fens. I'd been doing so well with my money too :(

    Not a great day then :(

    :mad: Network rail :rotfl: Just been down by the dock to buy a takaway... Anyways there is a crossing thing where the barriers go down. So i am like ohhh mum a train is coming, like a 10year old :rotfl: Bearing in mind we never go there and its rare we see one (two carraige's is the train). The barriers went down at 5.50pm, a train went up, barriers didnt move. 20min later a train went down and shouts out his window 'the barriers have malfuntioned and someone is on thier way'. Then the police arrive because the kids are running across the tracks :rolleyes: 6.50pm they lifted :rotfl:

    Ohhh joy :j

    pap i is shocked!!!!

    whats Bananna bread? i tried making a bananna cake with ds2 cause the banannas were getting a bit ripe, using a recipe on the old style thread, we didn't like it

    claire, i make banana walnut cake -

    4oz marg, 4 oz caster sugar, 4 eggs, 2 bananas, 6 oz sr flour, 2-3 oz chopped walnuts.

    make like a normal cake but before adding the flour, break the bananas up and whisk in (mash with a fork if you don't have an electric whisk), add flour, stir in the walnuts and bake in tin for about 30 mins - or til a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre.
